Intel SSD in a PC

February 8, 2009 2:29:44 AM

I recently bought the Intel SSD X-25M and I would like to know:

How do I fit the drive into a 3.5 case? Wich adaptors should I use? I believe some will be better than others (in both noise reductions and heat disssipation)

By the way, is there an adaptor that could allow me to install the drive in a 5.25 lot? I have the Zalman adpators that allow me to put 3.5 HDs in the space, so I believe I will use them if necessary.

thanks in advance!

The Antec HD Cooler is our favorite device
for installing 3.5" HDDs in a 5.25" drive bay:

That's fairly useless - the requirement is to mount a 2.5" in a 3.5" bay, not a 3.5" in a 5.25"

Thanks for the replies. I alredy have the Zalman HD cooling, wich allows me to fit a 3.5 drive in a 5.25 bay. I was wondering if there was an adaptor wich would allow me to directly put a 2.5 drive in a 5.25 bay.

I think Im gonna go with the Icy Dock.
