Aren't SSDs just compatible with bottom mount? I don't remember the details of my SSD, but here's a graphic that suggests all SSDs should have screw holes in the bottom to line up with that bottom-mount adapter:

Same problem when I got an SSD with my Antec P183. The holes at the bottom of the original tray like the one in OP don't line up.

My only option was this:
http://store.antec.com/Product/accessory-spare_parts/p183-hdd-tray-w-ssd/0-761345-30252-4.aspx

But my original plan was to use some nylon zip-ties. I used the zip-ties, then wanted something more finished looking. Shopping around for 3.5" to 2.5" converters turned up nothing locally for anything but standard screw-mount 3.5" drives. There are no spinning parts, so zip-ties are fine in my mind. Seems like others have done the same thing.

What I am looking for is the blue piece in the diagram for the bottom mount.
All adapters I could find locally & quick search online are the side-rail mount types.

Probably zip-tie/velcro would work. Thanks.
