Hey everyone, quick question. The new PC I'm getting is going to be using an SSD to run the OS. The thing is, I don't have an adapter for it, and am not sure if I will be able to install it into the case without one. I have looked around the Internet however, and I've read a few things about people saying that it is possible to simply prop the SSD drive up against something instead of actually using an adapter.

So... does anyone know for sure if this will work? Or will I have to go buy an SSD adapter?

An SSD is a solid state drive thus meaning it don't have mechanical moving parts in it, so even if you just screew in on one side in a 3,25" compartment it will not create loud noise as older HDD's do. So just make sure it sit tight and not flapper around in your case and you should be fine.

I have mine stuck using a velcro tape that is used to hang pictures on a wall.
