SSD adapter for laptop?

I would like to install soon in my Acer Aspire e15 575g an SSD disk. As far as I've seen in YouTube, that's pretty straightforward, but in the video you can see that the SSD is screwed into a kind of special foil, so that the distance down is balanced.

So, now to the question: where do I get this "adapter"? I can't find a search term for it 😛 …

Here is the link to the video:

The Crucial MX500 comes with a sticky frame to make the SSD better fit or higher. This film shown is probably something Acer-specific.

SSDs are so light and robust, you can also be creative as long as they can't slip out of the line. For example, crumple up some paper and stuff between SSD and notebook, armored tape. Think of something.

In my PC is a SSD loose and another is fixed with Velcro. But I would not quite loose in the notebook, because it is often moved.

For such cases, I simply use the foam rubber D-shaped window sealing strips to fill the room so that the SSD is securely held in the SATA plug, the bottom plate is closed again. That's cheap to get everywhere and works great.

I just saw that also m2 ssds can be installed in the laptop. Would probably less expensive or?

😁😁 … Good ideas. Thank you. Would a m2 ssd actually be recommended? I could also block that

Is possible, but offers no advantages, if, as I believe, the M.2 slot in the Acer only works in the SATA standard. In addition, it may be the big SSDs do not fit if you z.b. Only install 60 mm M.2's.

If the special laptop already supports that, then yes. But in general, this is still relatively rare, but will probably prevail, even for reasons of space. But then equal to the primary disk will be a m.2-SSD, if there's still a second socket is available, instead of a 2.5 "hard drive bay for large" data graves "as a classic HDD, then it is rather questionable.

Do you still have a laptop that does not come from the factory with SSD, but with classic mechanical hard drives, a m.2 connection should be very rare, and me a s.2 adapter to 2.5 "SATA you win nothing
