Default SSD bracket

Common sense says the drive should be mounted with the connections to
the computer next to the outer edge. I can't get the bracket holes to
line up. If I flip the bracket around so the computer connections
would be about an inch from the outer edge the holes line up.

Should the drive connections be next to the edge of the bracket or
flipped so they are one inch in?

This is the only sample install image I could find. The original
page is gone.

Normally, you'd want it next to the edge, so that a right-angle
SATA would work. If you have a straight SATA, you want enough room
so you can safely remove it later (without busting off the
connectors), which again encourages it being flush with the edge.
If it is recessed, just make sure you're not creating a trap for
yourself.

It's a common sense, salt to taste thing. Verify how the
connectors will work, and you'll figure it out. And with two
drives in potential close proximity (if you use both bays),
check that the connectors will even work without damage
that close together.

The chances of me finding a PDF version of the accompanying
manual are slim. There should be a single piece of paper
with the thing at least. But just use common sense when
it comes to the SATA connectors.

For cooling reasons, I would use the top bay only, to leave
some room for airflow.
