SSD drive 3.5 inch adaptor bracket

Hi folks,

I've just bought myself a Plextor PX-256M5P SSD. It included (or should have)
a 3.5 inch Bracket. The supplier will only accept a return/refund and then I
would have to re-order - at a higher price!

Does anyone know what these brackets look like/ Or where I can get one from
please?

I was a bit suprised as the supplier showed a cased drive but when it arrived
it was uncased!

Any ideas would be much appreciated,
Kind regards,
Rod Grover

They are cheap and widely available.
Here's a typical one on eBay...

I found this style to be particularly useful for my install, as the 3.5"
bays were bottom mounting.

The bracket that came with my SSD presumed I would be side mounting it
into my 3.5" bay, and there was no way for that to happen.

Rod at Orpheusmail was thinking very hard :

I just took the first available hole, a suitable parallel plane
nearest the drives in the case, to mount mine.

They make 5.25 inch to 3.5 inch drive adapters, and
3.5 inch to 2.5 inch drive adapters.

They also make the latter ones, in a way so that you can
put two 2.5" drives in the same bay (if they're thin
enough).

And for an SSD, you can also take a couple nylon wraps, and
fasten the drive to any convenient place inside the computer
case. Then plug in the SATA cabling. The mounting method
does not have to be fancy, and the orientation of the drive
is not important. Electrons have no problem going uphill.

True, but they're very discrete about it.
