AdrianaK Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 Hello, my Son has bought a solid state drive at a Best Buy for our PC but the system seems to have no place to put it in the older PC case we have tried several times. Is there a simple solution for this? any help will be super appreciated thanks in advance! Quote
FPCH Admin allheart55 Cindy E Posted October 25, 2014 FPCH Admin Posted October 25, 2014 Yes, the easiest solution to the problem is to get a bracket such as this to house the SSD. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817994140&cm_re=SSD_Mounting_bracket-_-17-994-140-_-Product 1 Quote ~I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.~ ~~Robert McCloskey~~
AdrianaK Posted October 25, 2014 Author Posted October 25, 2014 Wow that was a fast response thank you so much! it looks like it will just slide into an empty spot in a 2.5 inch bay according to the link you gave. It's also a nice color I will order that or something similar but that one looks fine and it's only $6.00. I don't see any screws so I guess it just slides in there? Quote
FPCH Admin allheart55 Cindy E Posted October 25, 2014 FPCH Admin Posted October 25, 2014 No problem, you're welcome. :D Technically it's made to slide into a 3.5 inch drive bay. It's supposed to be tool less. 1 Quote ~I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.~ ~~Robert McCloskey~~
AdrianaK Posted October 25, 2014 Author Posted October 25, 2014 Oh ok perfect then! Cindy E thanks for the help it's so easy to get help here and everyone is so nice. I'll let you know when the project is completed. He was thinking that Solid State drives are faster for the operating system to load up and overall computer operations seem faster his friend already had one on PC he ordered from a company called Cyperpower.

FPCH Admin allheart55 Cindy E Posted October 25, 2014 FPCH Admin Posted October 25, 2014 You're very welcome! We aim to please. :) You should notice a big difference in speed with an SSD.

Rich-M Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 Yes it just slides in but it has the holes on the side to fasten as you would a normal hard drive or use sliders if your case accommodates them. Quote
AdrianaK Posted October 25, 2014 Author Posted October 25, 2014 Cool, it's ordered! Project solid state drive is in action! now for the hard part installing it is there any guide? or any special way to prepare it or install the operating system with it? Quote
FPCH Admin allheart55 Cindy E Posted October 26, 2014 FPCH Admin Posted October 26, 2014 The best way would be to clone your hard drive using something like Macrium Reflect, EaseUs or Acronis.
