Third hard drive installation
I am trying to install the third internal hard drive inside my Sony Vaio computer case. There are only two bays for the hard drives. There is enough space for the third one, though. Does anyone know what kind of brackets I could use to install the third drive? Is there a site I can purchase a bay for one drive or some kind of hardware which will hold the drive in place? Thanks a lot. Alex. |

AS above you can buy mounting brackets for the 5.25 bays, which can host you hard drive see here . Also take a look at a picture here as you may want to extend your original bays, these are available at most retailers. You could also get a removable 5.25 caddie so in the future you can easily swap your hard disk and move it to another computer.
Alternativly (the cheap option) what i have done in the past (and would not recomend for fast drives) is to just mount in the 5.25 bay with just the two screws on one side - so it "floats" . it generally holds them quite well, but with faster drives they tend to vibrate more and hence the head can damage the surface of the disk.
