Anchoring HD

[Freerunner]

Am installing a new hd (Samsung SSD 850 EVO) and found that the slot in my case is way to big for it. I'm finding there is no way to anchor the hd. The case is a Cooler Master RC-690 and the old hd was a WD1001FALS 1TB. The old hd was anchored in with screws on the trays in the case. These screws are also to small for the new hd. How do I anchor the new hd?

Get a 3.5" to 2.5" Bay adapter or just use two screws to hold it in place. SSD's weigh nothing and your computer won't be moving so it's nbd

Ive used velcro also in the past and worked well.

Velcro it is, thanks. Wasn't sure if it was critical that it be secured, even though it's a desktop. But velcro is pretty easy.

I may or may not have used duct tape in a friends computer to keep an SSD in place...

Velcro sounds like a better idea.
