Carriage in computer system unit for SSD drive



Good day to all the masters!

Recently, the hard drive in my computer began to slow down very hard, and even hung up tight, but I must pay tribute to the old WD Black 160 GB drive, which lasted about 15-18 years (I don’t know exactly how old he was, I got the computer and bought with him for a long time before it came to me), and this drive survived more than one "motherboard" and he is still alive. It can be used with an external container as a flash drive.
A friend advised me to buy an SSD hard drive, which I actually did.


When I saw it after the purchase, I realized that it would not become a regular place for the usual HDD disks (small in width). SSD is 7 cm wide, and the old HDD is 10 cm, the difference is 3 cm.
At first I wanted to make a carriage from a sheet of galvanized sheet, but the listogib is not finished yet. After some deliberation among the trash, I immediately realized what the carriage can be made of.

What you need
  • Angle grinder (grinder)
  • PH1 Phillips screwdriver
  • drill, screwdriver
  • 4mm metal drill
  • sandpaper
  • old floopik
  • small cogs (computer)
  • marker, pencil


Step 1: Material Selection
The victim was an old flupik.

Gutting it completely left only the bottom part where the mounts of the floopik are located to the system head of the computer, i.e. bottom part.



But there were difficulties in the form of a bend around the edge, trimmed 5 mm from the edge (I will further explain why it is 5 mm).

Because of it, it was not possible to install an SSD drive. When trying to bend the threshold with pliers, the whole future carriage began to bend into an arc. I cut it off with a grinder and polished it first with an emery and then with sandpaper.

It had to be done because the “hard” interface cable was L-shaped.

Step 2: Marking for mounting
Before taking measurements between the fastener holes on the disk, you need to determine the location of the SSD on the platform and mark the edge of the carriage with a marker on the disk.

How to mark the edge, you need to put marks on the disk in front of the threaded holes so that they can then be transferred to the platform, so as not to suffer from a square measure the right angle, set the direction, so to speak. Thanks to the labels "edge of the carriage" and "opposite the holes on the disk", you can accurately mark on the platform where the holes will be made. I got 8 mm from the edge of the carriage to the place where the hole for the mounting screw will be drilled.

This is done so that one of the holes was originally made at the factory, it does not need to be drilled; it just coincided with the place of future drilling.

Next, we measure the distance between the holes on the disk itself and, starting from the marks, transfer them to the lower part of the platform, and since one hole was already there and the second turned out to be large, because there was a motor from the flopik there, it remained only to make two holes with a drill near the contacts.




Step 3: Drilling and Grinding
How to complete the marking manipulations, drill holes with a 4mm metal drill. The drill took a slightly larger size, let's say, hedge. If there is any deviation, it will have to be expanded with a file.
The holes are ready.

After drilling, there were burrs, they were removed by a grinder and then cleaned with sandpaper.



Actually everything ...

Step 4: Selection of screws and installation on the carriage
For all homemade I collect all the hardware that comes across this or that technique, computers are no exception. Gathering a can of screws from old computers, copiers, printers, etc., just come in handy for this small homemade product.

Now fasten.


And just at the bottom of the old floopik there were places for fastening to the system unit.



Cogs are also from banks from old computers, etc.
A photo with a disk installed in the system unit (sorry for the quality, I was eager to install Windows and forgot to take pictures under normal lighting). This article was written from this SSD drive :)

Thanks for attention!

It’s not always worth throwing away old things, they can always come in handy in something new :)
All success!

A carriage is a kind of device that drives in and out. And this thing is a mounting adapter, or simply, “pants for HDD”. Generally speaking, an SSD is so lightweight. that it can simply be glued to double-sided tape on some flat surface. So, excuse me, all this work is a monkey work ...

and you do not mind writing such komenty?

And the SSD is generally attached to a double-sided tape.

100 rubles a silicone adapter, a floppy disk is written, and when the dog has nothing to do, then she ... and the author does not mind the time for such an X ... Yu.

as an option :) I don’t like when something hangs out, with some kind of repair or cleaning the computer you hit, the contact goes away and think later what’s wrong, and when everything is in place it’s nice to watch, even I’m talking to myself, I always have a lid removed, leaned against the system, periodically look at dust. here the other day I’ll just be blowing dust :)

I've been hanging on the wires in the block for several years now, and nothing
Just now I changed the screw, the old one was already working on 5 MB of reading xaxa Loaded normally, even in NFS MW spied without glitches. But at times, of course, it hung specifically)
Not particularly a dozen resource-intensive, fiction. Yes, and you can configure everything.

Looks like they just woke up. Any modern operating system is hard drive violence. I had a solid-state back in the spring of 2012, when 120 gigabytes began to cost 130-140 dollars acceptable to me, and not more than 400 as the previous fall. And now I don’t understand at all HOW to download the modern “top ten” from the hard drive. Especially from the old, eaten by wormholes and bad blocks. Which even in its best years produced perhaps no more than 15 megabytes per second on reading, 10 megabytes per second on writing.
Do not, before the punched tape is still too early, use punched cards!
Ehh youth ....This is called a chump. And if the floppy drive is 3.5 "then it’s completely childish.
carriage from flupik

What? carriage? from floppod? This is a head drive, not a carriage. Sidyuk carriage that drives out.

so many times I heard that name

Many times you could not hear such a name, "flopik" could, but "flopik" - no.

everyone hears what he hears :) how he heard and wrote :) thanks for the clarification :)

The presented product is not a carriage, but a kind of mount.

and so it’s a “certain mount”. understand correctly, all your articles both here and on the channel Yandex.Zen I write in the evening after work, I get so tired that sometimes it’s impossible for me to draw up an article normally, I forgot one, then I didn’t describe it the other way, or something else ... I remembered the “carriage” because I knew someone who advised me to buy this ssd, said that specifically for them there are carriages, and if you figure out in fact, according to your question, what’s the reason for such a carriage (mobile) if the hard drive is installed under Windows permanently and you don’t have to constantly pull it back and forth. I put it and now, probably, I will remove it only when replacing it. and thanks for the normal comment :)

So many times I heard such a name, as I remembered and wrote :)
The carriage must move along the guides, otherwise it is not a carriage. There is still every exotic type of rotating carriages, but this is a rarity. Usually this is some kind of platform with equipment installed on it, which can make translational movements.
In this case, nothing of the kind is close. The presented product is not a carriage, but a kind of mount.
Nicky DMNMDwhy flatpeak"?

I originally wanted to fasten a fan to it, on the sites I read that it is not needed for ssd.
Any fool can puncture with a punched tape, and I am an amateur to break my head and put any rubbish into action. the more convenient it is to screw the carriage from the flopik back to the place where the flopik itself was, than to subtilize and drill in another place.
At first I wanted to make a carriage from a sheet of galvanized sheet, but the listogib is not finished yet
Have you tried to use perforated tapes? scratch
