I think an additional cutout near the cable side might be a good idea, for cables with squeeze releases or 90-degree connectors.</div>

I don't think we will make it so the cables can fit in, but there will be a marker for the power connection/sata on the production version.<br><div class="quote-container" data-huddler-embed="/t/1504616/attention-case-modders-ssd-mounting-template-and-drilling-fixture-what-do-you-guys-think/10#post_22634135" data-huddler-embed-placeholder="false"><span>Quote:</span>

Looks great, I'll take 3!<br><br>

I would also like to have my ssd's mounted on the top/bottom covers. That way I can mount them to either be displayed through the window or covered (if you get my meaning).<br>

Would you consider that too?</div>

Sure, that sounds cool, but the fixture can already be used that way.<br><div class="quote-container" data-huddler-embed="/t/1504616/attention-case-modders-ssd-mounting-template-and-drilling-fixture-what-do-you-guys-think/10#post_22634776" data-huddler-embed-placeholder="false"><span>Quote:</span>

While I personally see no need of this for me in the foreseeable future, I feel there would be a demand for this item, especially if it was made from hardened steel (or had hardened steel inserts for the holes) so it could be used as a drilling guide without wearing out the holes. One could always buy or borrow a cheap adapter tray to use for a template but a drilling guide would be far more useful and, as far as I know, no one else makes one. Btw, one could use a double sided tape, such as carpet tape, to temporarily secure the guide to a surface that would be awkward to use a clamp on. I would also suggest selling it through various retailers that sell modding supplies in addition to selling it in your own store.</div>

Thanks for the feedback. This version I made for myself was just plain old cold rolled steel. We are thinking of making it out of 4130 chromoly and then heat treating it. We also considered using drill bushings, but the holes are so close to the edge, it wouldn't work well. Heat treated 4130 should last a long time. I'm also thinking of using strong magnets to hold the fixture in place. This will NOT work for drilling, but it can be useful for mock-up.
