Stacking 2.5" drives?

[Yalla Bye]

Is it possible to mount 2.5" SSDs in a computer on top of each other? Does such a kind of mounting hardware exist?

 

I've seen this product on Newegg, which allows you to mount four 2.5" drives onto one 3.5" space, but I'm looking for something that would allow this stack to be mounted onto a 2.5" space. Is there such a thing as an adapter that would allow you to mount a 3.5" drive onto a 2.5" space, given enough clearance?

 

I've also seen this stuff which would allow me to do exactly what I want, but I'm looking for something that might be more durable than 3D printed plastic.

 

Any help would be very much appreciated,

Thanks!

You could just make something out of some scrap metal or plastic. I did a similar thing to mount my reservoir.

If the 3D printed plastic is Nylon then it's actually some pretty durable stuff. I've seen plastic gears printed from nylon and put through paces in RC cars. Holds up well. Alternatively you could do something custom. I have a tendency to grab some very thin sheet aluminum and bore holes in it and bend it with pliers to fit certain applications.

Thanks for all the fast replies, guys!

Or you can alternatively use some double sided tape as SSDs aren't affected by any physical vibrations or jolting.
