Go to solution Solved by prolemur,

Anyone who has a Corsair C70 case or know about it well enough know anywhere to put an SSD OTHER than the drive cage. I do not want to put in the second drive cage cuz I need the airflow and I have one full with 2 hard drives and an ssd but I want my 840 that is laying around for Ubuntu other things.

velcro on top/bottom of the currently installed harddrive cage

Either in the cable management area or possibly double-side tape it to the window. You know the cages have 3 slots each right?

You can place any 2.5" drive in a PCIe Slot, keeping the SATA cable runs short.

I roll with sigs off so I have no idea what you're advertising.

 

This is NOT the signature you are looking for.
