Hello:

I am trying to mount my 2.5" hybrid drive in the 3.5" drive bay on a matroxx 55 case budget build. I've purchased an adapter for this purpose, but the case did not come with any mounting screws that I've seen. I've read a few posts that Velcro can be used on SSDs because of moving drive parts. Would using Velcro to the adapter to the drive slide be a solid alternative?

Yeah that will be totally fine. Even technically speaking you can let it set somewhere aslong as you dont mind the aesthetics. An SSD wont be affected much by whats holding it, or even how it is sitting, so you can *literally* mount it however you want as long as you're not nailing it through the middle, lol.
