PicoWattson Posted June 14 Posted June 14 (edited) Early NAS days born from necessity, as my streamer requires one for it to be fully functional. How does the 2.5 SSD fit into the QNAP TS-431K bay? Can I use a generic 2.5 to 3.5 adapter or is it a specific QNAP piece of kit or non of the above? Thanks in advance. Edited June 14 by PicoWattson
Dolphy Posted June 14 Posted June 14 You should be able to buy a 2.5" to 3.5" adaptor, see below link: ORICO 2.5 to 3.5 Hard Drive Adapter HDD SSD Mounting Bracket Tray for 7/9.5/12.5mm 2.5 Inch HDD/SSD with SATA III Interface : Amazon.com.au: Computers

How does the SSD fit into the bay? Am I missing an adapter or some other hardware. Thanks in advance. Screw holes line up with the holes on the far right of the bracket as you've pictured it (and the drive needs to be turned over).
Dolphy Posted June 14 Posted June 14 @oldrose response is better than mine, the four holes match up with the SSD
PicoWattson Posted June 14 Author Posted June 14 (edited) Thanks to both of you for the quick response. Found them on ebay at lower cost than the Orico so will order a couple. Edited June 14 by PicoWattson

PicoWattson Posted June 14 Author Posted June 14 (edited) @oldrose Unfortunately the holes do not correspond to the correct position of the drive when plugged in, so looks like the adapter might be the answer. Edited June 14 by PicoWattson

The Mad Scientist Posted August 20 Posted August 20 Did you manage to get sorted with your SSD? I have a Synology 12 bay Rackstation with a 12 bay extension. The drive caddies are all pre-drilled to accept HDDs and SSDs via different sets of screw holes without any adapters. I'd be surprised if any of the other NAS manufacturers don't do the same.
