Can't mount ssd!

Go to solution Solved by tkitch,

there are 4 holes there for screws...  so, you use screws. 

 

ssd's have screw holes on the bottom:

2TB 6Gb/s SATA SSD 2.5" Hard Drive for Synology

 

 

 

Hello,

 

So am I being really stupid or...

I have an ssd and I've kept it hanging by tape but it's fallen out of the tape. (Must've been really old) So I've decided I want to mount it but how in the hell! 

It's a cheap case so I expect it to be complex but I'm so confused. The case is a CiT Raider RGB and the ssd is a 480gb ssd from Kingston. Do I need a mounting plate or what please help!

Picture below is where I want to mount it. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Kind Regards!

You will need to screw the ssd from the opposite side (inside of the case). Since its a budget case the connections will sit tight so in my opinion just keep it lying somewhere in the bottom as SSD doesn't have any moving parts so won't cause any issue.
