Product: Z420 Work Station
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

I am trying to install a SSD drive in place of Hard drive. I need a proper mounting bracket for the slide in drive bay. I bought one to use for 2.5 inch to 3.5 inch, but it does not work with the slide in mount. Anyone know one that is designed for this type of drive bay.
