Compatible with all Corsair SSDs, as well as all other brands
This setup includes:
And here are the things I used to build it:
You can get something like this if you want to mount it where a 3.5 drive would go. This one is super cheap and lets you fit 2x SSD's in a 3.5 drive slot.
You would probably have zero issues mounting it with velcro, too.
You can pick up two of these and turn the 3.5" drive bays into dual 2.5" drive bays.
I used these to mount 2 x 2.5" drives in mine. Technically you could get 2 of these and properly mount 4 SSD's in a r210. For ~$7/ea and minimal effort, it was worth it to me.
However, just laying the drives inside or using double sided tape will work too.
EDIT: I also bought 2 of these, but it will be another 4-6 weeks before they come in. The plan was to mount the boot drive I'm this. I had considered using another of those 2 2.5 to 3.5" adapter, so I could technically mount 5 drives. A 128GB boot drive, and 4 525GB SSD's in a ZFS RAID10. I really don't need that much space in these boxes.
You need a Mounting Bracket for 2.5 disc's
Edit : something like that

Great job brother! Here's a fucking gold star!
But seriously... do yourself a favor
Update: I was able to mount this adapter to the rails that are in the tape bay and slide it right in (though I could only get one screw in on each side, the second screw hole on the rail does not line up with the adapter).
It does leave a hole in the front of the server though - the cover is not attached to the rails.
So I'm ready to add a SSD to my system and I have all the parts ready to order and I was looking for any opinions before I buy the parts.

Verify first before buying anything that you do indeed have a second SATA power connector free (looks like this, might be a 90 degree angle plug), and that you have a second SATA port free on the mainboard (looks like this), AND that you have another drive bay to mount the drive in.
Also make sure the drive bay you have free is the right size. Desktop drive bays are 3.5" wide. Desktop drives are 3.5" wide. You CAN install a 2.5" drive (laptop size) with the proper adapter if you need it. (something like this)
Also verify if you have a toolless drive tray. A lot of prebuilts will have trays that the hdd can be mounted in without screws. Some OEMs like Dell, will not come with a second tray even if they have a second bay. (like these)
Even more OEMs have special drive mounts that will only fit one drive, use special screws, and won't have space for a second drive.
So, verify you have a free bay, if it is toolless, needs shouldered screws (like these), or standard screws (like these)
Do I have a free sata port?
Do I have a free sata power connector?
Do I have a free drive bay?
How does the drive mount into the bay?
Am I going to need an drive bay adapter or another drive tray?
Answer all of those questions before you buy anything.
You do not need a tray or adaptor because the built-in tray already allows it.
By adapter, I mean these things
What are you referring to ?
Are there 3.5" mounts to the back of the motherboard ?
If yes, then with a 3.5 to 2.5 adapter, you can mount a SSD without issue.
I used an enclosure for my 2.5" SSD in 2011 so I could mount it.
I found an inexpensive cage that might work for you here
Yes there are adapter brackets.

If I'm getting this SSD do I need this mounting bracket to mount it in this case?
Ah, didn't see the newegg link.
You just need a bracket of some sort, like this:

Actually, I may have some extras I'd be willing to send you for cost of shipping. They come with SSDs, but now a lot of cases has the adapter built in.
If it's just a form factor problem, I recommend this $7 adapter that gives you two 2.5" mounting spots and fits in one standard 3.5" hdd bay.
Like /u/IsabellaQY said, one issue is no 2.5'' brackets if you want to install an SSD. There are adapters for that, though, if you need it.
Most SSDs are 2.5” the rest are smaller, just get a cheap mounting bracket and plug it in.

This one fits two.
> that's a good idea too
Thanks. I already considered this for a Ghost S1.
I'd probably go with this one if you don't need 15mm mounts. Only goes up to 9.5mm. Main reason being it's not center mounted. So you can easily trim off a lot of the extra off and get it to mount pretty tight to the corner to save even more space. It also has a decent amount of solid surface to use high bond tape or to drill a mounting hole into. (I don't have a Dan case, so I'm not sure how easy that would be.) VHB tape can hold car parts while going freeway speeds, so it'll easily hold a couple of puny drives if you decide to go that route.
With some creative trimming, this one might be able to do 15mm though.
All you need is a bracket such as this one and you're good to go.
Any 3.5" to 2.5" bracket works. This one works.
Just adding that this one costs just as much as a single version.
