Terraonion MODE Hard drive retention bracket for Saturn and Dreamcast

thingiverse

This is a snap down retention bracket for hard drives and SSDs in MODE. Normally a SATA drive is secured down to MODE with 2 screws through the bottom. However that means you need to remove MODE from the console to get to the bottom of the PCB to remove the screws. This bracket snaps into the two holes directly behind the SATA drive and will keep the drive from moving. I have included two brackets. One for 7mm drives (nearly all SSDs and most hard drives) and a 9.5mm one (some older hard drives). <b>Note:</b> If you are using a 3d printed mounting plate to secure MODE in the console, make sure there is room for the bracket to fit. Some MODE brackets, like the Dreamcast one from Nehbleh, partially blocks these 2 holes from the bottom and may require some modding. Probably won't work with Laserbear's mount either as it uses those spots. Feel free to mod and remix this to your hearts delight. <i>Todd of Terraonion</i>
