Placing SSD drive in floppy bay of Dell SFF 960

rayi23 · Feb 8, 2017

I would like to add a SSD drive to the floppy bay area of a Dell 960 SFF.. They must make a caddy for that.

Probably wont find a caddy/adapter , zip ties or velcro, unless you want to mod your own bracket.

Something like this may work https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817994085&cm_re=SSD_bracket-_-17-994-085-_-Product

Or you could simply use double sided tape and mount the SSD anywhere else inside the case. https://www.amazon.com/Gorilla-Heavy-Mounting-Double-Sided-Black/dp/B019HT1U9E/ref=sr_1_6?s=office-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1486572417&sr=1-6&keywords=double+sided+mounting+tape

Floppy and SSD are both 2.5" wide. Would think you could at lesst get 2 of the side holes threaded in, which would be enough for an ssd.
Or does dell use some sort of special toolless-bracket on it?

Although, isn't that the caddie for the 3.5 drive bay that is already there? I have one. I actually wanted to remove the existing hard drive caddie because I wanted to add a low profile graphic card which fits very well but it almost flushes right up to the HD caddie. impeding the air flow it looks like. It is strange how they have a pci-e slot for a graphic card but make it difficult to use one which seems typical of many Dell smaller computers. I've seen some better HP/Compag designs for those smaller computers to accommodate more than one hard drive. But I was able to attach the SSD drive to the floppy drive bay area with some sticky putty which I sometimes use but I thought a floppy drive caddie would be better.

You can also run out and get Velcro tape.

Dookie's probably the easiest/cheapest. Double Sided tape will keep it in place.... maybe a little to permanently, but you could always use a razor blade to cut it loose.

Or you could use Velcro tape and not have to cut anything loose
