Note for those like me that bought a used Dell Optiplex 3070:

Mine did not include a drive cage. So I plugged in the SSD to the right port, felt a bit iffy, but it works. For some time, until it is loose enough to slip out of alignment.

This blue piece is what I’m missing. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YV8qE894tI0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YV8qE894tI0)
