The SSD I installed, a Kingston 128 GB, is somewhat loose in the hard drive tray. My case is a Cooler Master HAF 932 Advanced. Is it OK that it is loose? I will not be moving this computer around much. Is there a way to make it fit more snug?

It fits perfectly in the slot that is in the tray that pulls out of HD bays. I can just slide it around a bit. They tray it is in was clearly made for this size of SSD, just isn't really a tight fit.

Just be careful if you move/transport the case, because it is "solid state" there are not moving parts and it will not be affected by motion, I would just be concerned that if you move the case it went flying around the case. I remember when SSD's first came out a guy got a demo set from Samsung I think, set like 15-20 of em up in RAID outside of his case. While he was running a benchmark or something he grabbed all the SATA cables and was bouncing the SSD's up and down by them, it didn't hurt anything (obviously you could damage a port but clearly you won't be doing the same as he was). If you are really concerned, try and tie it down with some twist ties or something.

In summary it is okay to be a little loose, just tie it down if it looks like it could go flying if you picked up and moved the case.
