i need help with ssd

[Anthony_Lee]

I'm going to buy a ssd but if I buy a asus\msi h170 do I need to buy the bundle which includes mounting brackets, data 3 cables ect or does it come with the motherboard. I don't want to be spending another £10 if I already got the parts for it or if I need the parts and I cant buy it again. Thx

Motherboards usually come with SATA cables and stand-offs screws, but not with mounting brackets for drives or SSDs.

Your computer case may have an SSD bay with all the necessary brackets; mine did. Check this first before you order any brackets.

Yes absolutely no problem in securely taping down the SSD. Just make sure that the taping is secure enough to withstand moving the computer if you need to do so. In the past I have taped down smaller 2.5" HDDs to a suitable area inside the desktop computer case.
