How would i mount an ssd in a small form factor pc? - smirk24 - 12-10-2018

I have an HP Compaq 6300 Pro Sff Computer and I've been wanting to properly mount my ssd using a mounting bracket but im not sure if there is a specific ssd mounting bracket or not that i would need for my computer?

you could remove DVD drive if you don't use it

that would give you room for the SSD

then use double sided 3m tape to stick down to the case



if you don't feel comfortable using double sided 3m tape

you could use https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015MSJ1DG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I did use some 5mm tape. The double sided tape took the info sticker clean off the ssd but when i mounted it to the system its as if the tape was made with elmers glue and didnt stay in place.

Maybe i should of went with 3mm double sided tape.

The mounting bracket concern i have is making sure i have what i need for the install to go smoothly as possible and to make sure the bracket fits inside my 6300 pro sff case id just hate to get the bracket and the case doent like it or vise versa.

yeah I think it would be hard to find a mounting bracket for that case

double sided velcro would work
