There are all kinds of 3d printable brackets you can use to mount them in standard drive bays. Doesn’t the CMD-HD use a standard 3.5” drive? IIRC I mounted mine in a 5.25” slot behind a drive bezel for a Zip drive in my 9600 so that I could access the SD card slot without cracking the case.

There are newer ones since mine with higher performance. Use good media, genuine sandisk extreme or the like (there are a LOT of forgeries of SD and microSD media so shop carefully). Write endurance and I/O performance, especially random writes, is very different as you go up the quality scale. > > Justin --Apple-Mail=_A99041C7-82D1-4F53-B09D-4716EFC39B6F Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 <html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"></head><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;" class="">There are all kinds of 3d printable brackets you can use to mount them in standard drive bays.
