It's an SSD. It has 0 moving parts, 0 vibration and weighs next to nothing. It can basically be mounted anywhere. And I do mean anywhere. It's quite common to use a strip of velcro and stick them to the top of a psu. Or the back of the mobo. Or underneath the psu tunnel. Or to the underside of optical bays etc.

Your choices are not limited to where case manufacturers say a 2.5" drive can fit. So don't loose hope.

i tried that , then the problem comes with the connection to the ssd not possible as that would make it sit flush to the fans, the main problem is when it sits flush the the wire bends the ssd pin end , thats why i was wondering if there is something that pushes the ssd out a but ..you know like plastic washers or something like that, that way the connection would be looser and not bend it.

I am not familiar with that case, but perhaps it is possible to mount the drives on the other side of the trays. That worked on a Fractal case for me (of course it was the way it was described in the assembly manual, but Hey, who reads those?

You could just go to a local hardware store and buy some longer screws and washers. Place the washers between the case wall and SSD to raise it (may need several washers on each screw to raise it enough)

I would bring your SSD and a screw with you so you could match up the proper thread so it will fit in the SSD.
