How to mount a 3.5 HDD to Inspiron 3020 case?
I need to mount a 3.5 HDD inside Inspiron 3020 case. Can someone show me what (tray? caddy?) need to buy to mount the HDD hard drive. Thanks

The hard drive will be mounted directly to the chassis below the optical drive. If you purchase retail boxed HDD, it will come with cable and mounting screws. If purchasing bare drive, you will need to source SATA cable and 4 x 6-32 mounting screws. This is the service manual with instructions and location for installing the hard drive https://www.dell.com/support/manuals/en-us/inspiron-3020-desktop/inspiron_3020_sm/installing-the-hard-drive?guid=guid-6526b0e0-8be9-473a-97d5-207621ae0925&lang=en-us

I just got an Inspiron 3030 desktop... same case, has those same 4 screw holes, but they don't line up with the screws on any 3.5" HD I have, for example, a WD80EMAZ.
