SSD bracket
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817994085
Common sense says the drive should be mounted with the connections to the computer next to the outer edge. I can't get the bracket holes to line up. If I flip the bracket around so the computer connections would be about an inch from the outer edge the holes line up. Should the drive connections be next to the edge of the bracket or flipped so they are one inch in? |

The original page is gone. https://s.yimg.com/fz/api/res/1.2/7c...closure-44.jpg Normally, you'd want it next to the edge, so that a right-angle SATA would work. If you have a straight SATA, you want enough room so you can safely remove it later (without busting off the connectors), which again encourages it being flush with the edge. If it is recessed, just make sure you're not creating a trap for yourself. It's a common sense, salt to taste thing. Verify how the connectors will work, and you'll figure it out. And with two drives in potential close proximity (if you use both bays), check that the connectors will even work without damage that close together. The chances of me finding a PDF version of the accompanying manual are slim. There should be a single piece of paper with the thing at least. But just use common sense when it comes to the SATA connectors. For cooling reasons, I would use the top bay only, to leave some room for airflow. Paul |
