Checking In/Checking Out Version 1.0

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Too bad you don't know anyone with access to a machine shop....


I've bought SSDs before that had little metal brackets to adapt the 2.5 to standard 3.5 holes, can probably find them somewhere cheap. In the meantime considering it's a PC that's not going to be moved around and that an SSD is way more shock proof than HDD, I think you'll be fine.

The mounting enclosure inside the PC for the drive doesn't come out and part of the hardwiring for the PC goes right through the whole thing. It would be a major pain in the ass to try and pull it apart to try and drill a couple of holes and without cutting it apart, I wouldn't be able to drill holes on the opposite side. I did buy an adapter so the SSD would be able to fit in where the 3-1/2" HDD was, but there are no holes in the PC to use the side holes to mount it securely.

But like we both said, an SSD is way more shock proof and has no moving parts inside, so it should be fine. The only times my PC has ever moved from where it sits is when I have added RAM and now when I went to swap out the drives.

One other thing about Lenovo that sucks. I was going to use the HDD I replaced as a storage drive but there is absolutely no place in the case nor any available connections for a 2nd drive.

That's crazy, I've NEVER seen a PC that didn't have connections and a spot for a second drive. And I thought Dell cases were bad.

I think I have three drives in my home PC, the third one sits in the spot that was for an optional floppy drive I think.

Yeah, it's been the same way for me, I have NEVER had a PC before that didn't have a place for at least one extra drive.

I just read that Scott C Waring is taking off several months so he can "recharge" and take some time for himself

My main laptop even has a second drive bay FFS.
