Question for you all:

I am going to be removing my optical drive and putting in a SSD as a replacement. I simply need a bracket to go in place of the optical drive, and I'm finding I can spend $100 on a "name brand" bracket, or buy a $10 one off of eBay? For something like a bracket, does quality matter? I feel like it shouldn't but better safe than sorry. I don't want to destroy a $500 SSD for whatever reason. Thanks!

This is a $100 example:

I bought a $10 bracket and it works fine. No instructions came with it but it is a pretty easy install.
 
buy the $10 one, if it doesnt work buy another. if that doesnt work, buy the $100 one ;)
 
Ok, so it won't be an issue? Won't have slower data speeds or anything?
