talksr Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Good morning, I have a number of HP EliteDesk 800 G1 SFF computers I would like to replace the conventional HDD with for an SSD. The Sandisk SSD Plus drives I have got here are literally just the drives and a black plastic anti-vibration stickypad. I have a more expensive 800 G1 which comes with an SSD and it has these screws on the SDD drive. Where can I buy these as I would like to do the same on the cheaper ones. There is a slot on this model for an SSD, but you need the special screws to be able to mount it.
talksr Posted March 23, 2016 Author Posted March 23, 2016 How many do you need? I have got 12 drives so 4 x 12 makes 48 - quite a few!
talksr Posted March 23, 2016 Author Posted March 23, 2016 You may notice from the pictures that the conventional HDD (which can come out) also has them. I have tried these, however the screw is too fat and will not screw into the side of the SSD.
pantscat Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Yep - you need the grommets with the black screws. Is probably a lot cheaper to get a 2.5 to 3.5 adapter.
linkazoid Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 We have loads, can sort them out for you. PM if needed. 1
ICTDirect_Dave Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 These are a dog to source. We were quoted £3.50 each at one point. We've managed to build up a stock of several thousand in the past year or so however thanks to stripping everything that we scrap off. Let me know if you need some? 1

I think you may have the rarest screws in the world! You should probably invest in some high security storage before the ICT-Direct head offices are raided for HP screws! At the moment, I have secured the SSD drives in with a thick cable tie. I removed the conventional hdd, not sure if that was such a great idea as it leaves nothing for when the SSD dies, but it does make them lighter to move around! If I need any screws, I will give you a shout.
