Nothing is more permanent than a temporary fix.
Update: to the surprise of no one, the tape has already failed after two hours at room temperature.
Only temporary in the sense that the tape will fail as soon as it starts to warm up from these SSDs and latent heat from other components?
Lol, hopefully temporary in the sense that I only need it to work for a couple of minutes, long enough to boot a test system with the card installed in order to find out if the motherboard for which I can't locate a manual supports PCIe bifurcation. If the board recognizes all the drives then I'll shut it down and properly install 4 full-length (2280) Samsung drives which I have yet to order.
What is it
Looks like holding 4 SSDs in place with a strip of tape instead of mounting screws
smol SSDs instead of long SSDs. The proper fix would be one of these to elongate it
Or if OP has a 3d printer, one of these
Dab of hot glue on each one to keep it stuck down.
