    Hey guys,

    Ive just recieved my OCZ vertex 4 ssd. Its fast as hell.
    Do you guys know where i can get somethin that can house it in my comp.
    The space is as wide as a cd/dvd rom. Which is a lot bigger than 2.5"

    I tend to use ebuyer. But dont know what i need to make my ssd to fit in the gap.

    You don't necessarily need to fasten it at all, since it doesn't vibrate. Mine just hangs from the cables in the 5.25" bay.

    Or if in doubt, you could try velcro.

    On ebay they sell the 5 1/4 to 2.5" bays fairly cheap.

    Normally a bit cheaper than online pc component suppliers

    Velcro or Blutac will work just fine.

    Just drill an extra hole if you need to and use 2 bolts on one side. It's not as if they are heavy so it is perfectly fine to secure it that way.
