don't use 2-sided foam/tape, as its harder to separate when you need to... velcro works... we use the heavy duty "industrial strength" peel-and-stick stuff... clean target surfaces adequately...

Vibration or magnetic field should not cause an issue with the SSD. However, if you are looking for a crude way, why not just duck tape it to the inside walls of the case?

Vibration of fan shouldn't be a problem correct? Its just the heat that might be the issue? I'd be mounting it with double sided foam tape. I'll get a pic of my idea later tonight.
