2.5" SSD mount/bracket for laptop?

[Hopkinfrog]

Hi everyone,

I have this really annoying problem that I've spent hours trying to solve without success.
How can I install a 2.5" SSD (Samsung 960 EVO) in my Laptop (Lenovo Legion Y520)? When I open up the latop the 2.5" is empty (the PC has a NVMe SSD as default storage and an emtpy 2.5# slot) without a mount/bracket/case.

I could just slot it into the SATA connector but then nothing is holding the SSD in place except for the SATA connection.

I've spent hours with Lenovo support and googling trying to find where to get one of these mounts with no success and would really appreciate your expertise!

Thanks!

I'd use some 3M double sided tape on the back with some on the top as well (but only stuck to SSD not to case)

Thanks Electr0_90 but the thing is that the SSD is actually elevevated like 1/4 of an inch or so when connected. Also, there is no "case" if you are referring to a mount/bracket.

The HDD bracket (part #:5B40N00288) could be found online.
I was in the same predicament and I used double sided tape to hold the SSD to the laptop.
Another unit I was upgrading, did not even come with the SATA connector for the 2nd disk.
I went online and found them both here.

Just use the Double Tape (the foam style one) and put many together to make a pillar for it to rest on.
It won't break, all will be fine, the foam offers the pillar of support.
Easiest, simplist solution.
