Just bought a new ssd to add to my pc. My question is does this: https://www.cmstore.eu/spare-parts/masterbox-lite-5-k500l-mb500-rgb-ssd-bracket/

 

Have the screws to mount the ssd into it? Doesn't say anything on the product description and i only see one screw for the mount into the pc. Ssd doesn't come with any screws either. Thanks!

Didn't you get lots of screws with your case? They should be included.

my case only included 1 tray. im already using that. checked my box didnt find any screws or extra trays thats why im looking into this. 

Make sure to quote the person you're answering to ensure they see it. 

 

What are you mounting the SSD to? A divet in the case?

There is plenty to be said for using sticky strips to just mount the SSD on top of the unit already in your tray. If there is enough clearance to slide the tray back into place, there really isn't an issue with it :)

Well thanks for the idea will surely look into that rather than buying this extra part i am not sure about. Seems like ssd's are very light and double sided tapes can hold them up.

Absolutely. They also have no moving parts, so no chance of knocking themselves loose.
