    I was curious if there were any SSD's out there without casing (preferably Crucial or Samsung) that were about half length as normal. My Sager NP6110 doesn't have an mSATA port, but standard SATA III. I'd like to use the other half of the HDD/SSD bay to add some additional cooling.

    How would you mount the drive to keep it from moving around/falling out? They make mSATA to SATA adapters, but it looks like those don't cut down on size too terribly much.

    I found this, if you're interested. Not sure if it's available in other sizes/from other manufacturers, but it appears they exist.
