Just bought a new SSD to replace my system HD. The 2.5" to 3.5" adapters I found are all a bit narrower than the HD trays that slide into the bays in my Sonata II. Not sure how or even if it is possible to get this to work. Anyone know what to do? Thanks much for help!
 
Solution
A SSD should be easy to mount, even without a 2.5/3.5 adapter.
On a SOLO, I just drilled two small holes so that a SSD can be securely attached to the existing hard drive mounting plate.
Duct tape would probably have done the job too.
If the pc will not be regularly moved, you could even simply lay the SSD on the bottom of the case.
