Does it matter if my SSDs are loose in the case

At the moment my 2 SSDs are hanging loose in the hard drive bays area, does it matter or should I buy 2.5 - 3.5 mounting bays?

I would say that you are not in any immediate danger as SSD's do not have any spinning disks in them but still, if i were you, for the sake of all other hardware in the PC, get whatever you can to mount those things as there is the possibility of harming the SSD's or other components.

Considering the costs for the SSDs and your system, in general, you should mount them. Get a couple of adapters and lock them down. One accidental bump could be a very expensive mistake. HOOAH!!!
