Does HP offer adaptors to fit the smaller 2.5 ssd drives? Just bought a bare 800G4 SFF(?) I am populating with i7-8700, 32gb Crucial ram they recommended, a NVMe 500gb PCI ssd with Win 11 preloaded and 500gb 3D NAND additional drive and need the correct hardware adaptor to secure NAND drive in the flip-up bay. Just bought a 2.5 to 3.5 that doesnt look like will do the trick, no hardware either. Appears I need 2mm screw for wireless card standoff like PCI card, wondering if special screw head needed as looks possible it is part of circuit .. grounding maybe? Box and SATA drives new to me .. processor clamp went down harder than I like .. hoping I am just a worry wart. Havent tried to fire up yet to see if posts and Win11 comes up. This 800G4 box is 4x12x13, I guess the new SFF, have 4 earlier HP SFF boxes slightly larger 1Core,2 Core2Quad and an I5 Im on now. Not sure what the "box" terminology is now .. is it tower, desktop, SFF, micro and mini? All with different box dimensions?. Any help appreciated .. thanks Keith

There are many adapters for 2.5" drives using 3.5" bays. Please check the SATA cable before buying an adapter
For example : https://computers.scorptec.com.au/computer/2.5%22-To-3.5%22
