3.5" Device/SSD/HDD Adapter

Fantastic Product - Fitted like a glove and all screws included and Great Price

Used this to replace a DVD bay in a Dell OPtiplex 7010 DT pc with a 2TB 3.5 inch hard drive. The caddy worked well in the end however the holes in the caddy did not line up properly with the screw holes on the drive (I checked another brand of 3.5 inch drive too but it was exactly the same). I basically got it to work by filing the hole on the caddy to make it bigger by using a pen knife which took about 15 minutes of faffing about. For this reason I've knocked a star off but would still recommend buying this since there don't appear to be alternatives apart from anything else!

This is a plastic housing for a 3.5 inch drive in a 5.25 drive bay. I bought it because I had previously bought an Akasi 3.5 inch card reader, but stupidly didn't check for a free 3.5in slot in my PC. The construction is fine, the fitting is pretty tight, although you can see a little bit of space around the faceplate when the drive is mounted, but nothing serious. Fitting it was painless, and it comes with screws for a HDD and a card reader/floppy mount as well. No problems at all and cheap enough.

Bit hesitant to buy this product after reading some of the reviews on here, but I am glad I did - it was exactly what I needed. I've recently built a gaming computer with an SSD - my case (Sharkoon T9) does not come with anywhere to install it, so I had to buy this. The plastic is solid, not bendy / wishy-washy / low-quality and was fairly easy to install into the case. The SSD I used was the "Samsung 840 EVO 250GB 2.5 inch Basic SATA Solid State Drive" and it fits like a glove inside the case and the provided screws were nice and easy to screw in. Very pleased with the product, would recommend it.

For the price this is an OK kit. It includes the connectors and screws you need to support one sata drive, and will securely hold your drive. However the design has no vibration isolation, so when mounting a hard drive it produced a lot of drive noise from a previously quiet disk drive. In short I returned it.

Some reviews suggested the holes didn’t line up, I had absolutely no problems with lining up the screws for everything, some other reviews suggested it was tight to fit into the case and although it might be a little tight I still had no issues installing this adapter to fit my new front USB

Bit of a tight squeeze for a 3.5 HDD, but it's done the job, nice and secure, front panel looks smart.

Decided to take out my old DVD drive, that I never use anymore, and add an SSD to my desktop machine. As the DVD drive was SATA, the cables were already there. Five minute job to remove the old drive and replace with this adapter with an SSD mounted on it. Worked fine.
