Picked up a Thinkpad T420s and, among other upgrades, threw in a Samsung 840 SSD. Laptop is super thin and super portable and thus moves around a lot. Problem is, the SSD rattles and flops about within the machine whenever the laptop is in motion. All that racket makes me afraid to handle my laptop.

I notice that the mechanical drive (same size as SSD) has a backplate / cradle thing on it that securely holds it in the machine. If I place it around the SSD, the SSD is more snugly fit.

I was hoping someone around here could help me source an extra one of these backplates. My search skills fail me.

Thanks.

Odd. Not sure why my email and the reply window shows two links, but I only see one on the actual forum page.

Anyway, the link that isn't showing up here appears to be the right item. Thanks so much. I think you've got me on the right track, and I know what to search for now. Looks like I can get the same thing from a closer seller.

Yup. Item arrived in mail, and it turns out to be the right thing.

Thanks so much again; it was driving me nuts.
