C70 creative SSD mounting?

HDDEVElOPER

I took out the Hard Drive cage to install new fans then lost the cage. I gave the PC somone to build for me as I was busy. They contacted me telling me there is no where to put the HDD + SSD besides the cage. I suggested velcroing it. They said the vibrations would damage the drives. Is this true? If so, without getting a new cage, where should I put them.

That may damage hard drives but SSDs can be dropped and be fine so it shouldn't damage it. Why can't the drive cages be used.

The SSD -- you're good. For the hard drive, try tying it and hanging it from the top of the case -- super ghetto, but it'd probably work.

Would Velcroing both to the optical drive slots work?

Why not get a 3.5-5.25 inch converter so you can put both in the optical drive slots? It's unconventional, but should work for the HDD, and with another 2.5-3.5 adapter you could put the SSD in too.

Do this ^^^
