Mounting 1.8-inch drive in desktop case?

[geekinchief]

Just received a 1.8-inch SATA II SSD as a gift and want to mount it in my desktop case. I've searched everywhere online and can't find a kit or rails designed to mount a 1.8-inch device in the 3.5-inch or 5.25-inch bays on my case. Any ideas?

Also I'm thinking of getting another SSD that is 2.5-inches and have the same issue.

That's because 1.8" SSD's aren't really even compatible with desktops. They all use the ExpressCard interface, which is only compatible with some newer laptops. It's going to have to be returned, unless you A) have an available PCI-E 1x slot, and B) don't mind using it externally yourself. The 2.5" SSD's come with 2.5" to 3.5" adapters. You can also buy the adapters @ newegg for a few $$ each.
