[SOLVED] I'm installing an SSD but dont have any tray(s) to put the SSD

[wferrante09]

My HDD is currently down underneath with the PSU but dont have any trays for an SSD. I'm getting a Samsung - 860 Evo 500 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive. Should i then get a 2.5" tray? A link to the correct tray would help

Use some duck tape. The SSD weigh next to nothing. Else use some velcro. There are so many ways to get a SSD to stay put. Otherwise drill some holes 2 screws and the SSD will be put in place nicely. It all comes down to how you want it all to look when it is all said and done.

See how I drilled 6 extra holes in the space/bracket from the 3.5" drive and that let me mount 2 SSD's in its place:

It is the opportunity to make the case really yours and customize to your liking.

check if you have the side panel bracket it is a drop in ssd one check your case user manual how to do it .

And in the case, pun intended, of your phantek, you see those 3.5" drive slots in the P400, You these easy to get to easy to use 3.5" drive trays.

You can easily up the 2.5" SSD there, real easy to drill some holes in the plastic for your SSDs too.

But I think the intended slots for 2.5" drive is on this side of your case:

but I wouldn't put them there because there will be zero air flow for them.
