The first little snag ....

We've been trying to fit the solid-state drive in a drive tray.  Not so easy at it sounds, because the trays are built for regular hard disks, and SSDs are quite a bit smaller.  Some posts on the web say that you can just use sticky tape, but we wanted to do it properly, since we are new to all this.  So we got a bracket, made by Icy Dock.  The SSD fits in the bracket and the bracket fits in the tray ...... in theory.  In practice, the bracket didn't fit in our trays.  So ...... we instead we got what is really just a plastic box (still made by Icy Dock) that the SSD slots into.  You can see the difference between the bracket and the box here.  I hope we can return the bracket to Amazon for a refund!

This didn't work ....
.... but this did
