I just installed my new ssd after my old hdd finally gave in,and I put it with the Samsung logo out,however this puts a fair bit of strain on the connectors.Does anyone know how much is too much when It comes to these connectors?I'l buy a 3.5 inch to 2.5 inch bracket if I have too.I took a few pictures so you can get the idea.

its fine

 

if you want you could place the SSD facing in the proper direction with the cables coming from the back, not the side...

Well this is taken with the front of the case removed so you can't see any of it ,and there isn't really chafing ,more so the camera than anything .
