using a 2.5 ssd for my HTPC, have a question
#1
Hi Everyone,

so a quick question. I ordered a 2.5 ssd for my htpc, but after ordering I realized I had a few questions.

What's the best way to mount these in standard matx cases? Do some cases come with a solution for this? or should I just get a 3.5 adapter?

and, how do I connect a 2.5 hdd? The standard pc data and power connectors probably aren't used right?

I would appreciate any pointers or help.

I used velcro and mounted it to the case.
