I am trying to install a Samsung 870 EVO 1TB SATA 6.35 cm (2.5") Internal SSD


on my Corsair Carbide Series 100R CC-9011075-WW Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case


The two existing SSDs are installed via a slot-in plastic mount held by plastic snap fit fasteners. Please see attached images of the case and drive cabinet.

I tried getting a 3.5inch to 2.5 inch mounting adapter but it did not have holes in the right places.

Surfing the web, I found out that the Samsung EVO SSD is non-standard:

I also found this video instructive:


but my hardware is different.

Does anyone have experience with my use case? What hardware and mounting screws would you recommend?

Thank you.
 
There is no chance the Evo uses non-standard mounting holes. It's likely the bracket that is the problem.

Share a pic of the bracket you purchased (better if you can show it along with the SSD to see what is not aligning).

Those are not mounting holes for any kind of drive.


You should simply get this adapter. This will hold your SSD (screw it in) then this whole thing will go into one of the mounting tray of your drive bay, then that tray will go into cabinet.
