Can I tape SSD to case?

[Paradox2018]

Hello, I have a Samsung 850 EVO 250gb SSD. I also have a NZXT S340 case. Is it safe to just tape the SSD on the bottom of the case near where the SSD's are supposed to go because I don't have enough room to make it reach any farther.

I would want the SSD behind the hole.

I would use Velcro.

I would use Velcro.

So if I just get a velcro strip and put it in, nothing will break?

I've used a few times , just make sure it's decent velcro and it will hold no problem.

I've used velcro, tape, or simply a foam pad on the bottom of the case, with the drive just laying on it.

But why can't you mount that in the dedicated 2.5" mount point?

Ok I will velcro it to the bottom, thanks!

SSD's do not have any moving parts. If your not moving the case around there is no problem just letting it sit there. Or you could attach the cables and just slide it over the HDD.

x2 (or x3) on using velcro. I've used it quite a few times myself for SSDs.

Has anyone tried any scotch mounting products? This one seems a good option while being much easier to remove when you don't need it.

I personally use the '3M Command Poster Strips'. They work well at holding, and are easy to remove later. I had to use a set for my AIO radiator / fan set since the screws I had weren't long enough to go through both; as well as a case and filter.

You know, I guess that would work quite well too. Good thing about Velcro, allows you to pull out the SSD. Bad thing about Velcro, sometimes that adhesive is a world-class-bit*h to remove. Good thing about 3m foam tape? Cheap and easy. Bad thing, it tears trying to remove and is a mess. Command strips, I can't think of any real downside.

Great idea.

Just to sum up what I did here, I put 2 squares of velcro on the bottom of the case and SSD and it works like a charm!
