ELUTENG Double-Deck HDD SSD Mounting Bracket 2Pack 2.5" to 3.5" Hard Drive Adapter SSD Bracket Metal SSD HDD Holder with Mounting Screws Hard Driv...

These are very well made, Thick metal, Great deal!

My daughters case was an open box mid tower. The mount for harddrives and SSDs was missing. Daughters Pc looks more bold and she's proud of her build. I'm very pleased by this minor necessity. I wished I had a picture.

Well, it's cheap. You get 2 of them. Each one holds two 2.5" drives. I used one in a HP Slimline PC (S5-1214) that came with a 1TB Seagate 7200rpm 3.5" HDD. Swapping that for a small, light, faster SSD was a no brainer... but this adapter was more work than it should have been. The large HP screws don't fit in this adapter... but I used others to make it work. Second, the upper lips go up farther than they need to be. I suppose in some applications that may be useful, but in my HP Slimline PC the 3.5" bay is directly below a 3.5" optical drive that flips up and down on a trunnion. The edges ABOVE the top SSD slot was preventing the optical drive from seating back down fully. I used a Dremel cut-off wheel to trim that excess steel off the "sails" to have the top SSD flush to the top of the adapter. Worked like a charm. The second machine I used it in was an old HP ENVY 750 that had 2 3.5" HHDs that I was swapping out for a single 4TB SSD. It fits "ok", though the width of the adapter seems to be a touch wider than a standard 3.5" drive... so the adapter doesn't drop in loose/smooth... but it WILL go in. It's probably just a tolerance issue with the powder-coating, but it is annoying. But at least it's not going anywhere. Pros? You can mount 2 SSD's in the same bay, and the adapter is metal, so you can feel good about it having some heat conduction instead of relying solely on-air flow. Would I buy more? probably... but only as a home/hobby enthusiast willing to custom fit as needed. I can't see any business stocking hundreds of these things in a professional sense.

The adapter brackets are OK, but have some quirks. First, while the screws for the 2.5" drive are M3, the screws for the threads on the 3.5" part of the brackets are also M3, rather than the 6-32 used on the normal 3.5" mechanical drives that these are intended to replace. In theory this wouldn't be an issue (other than knowing not to jam a standard 6-32 case screw in it), but there are two problematic scenarios that I can think of and could encounter with my own computers. First of those is that the included M3 screws have tiny heads without an extra flange (like what many floppy and optical drive screws have), so if the computer case has large screwhole cutouts, the little included screws might fall through. With one of the cases I put one bracket in, they were just barely wide enough to cover the lip of the holes to stay in place. The second scenario is if the case uses "tool-less" drive mounting. I have a case that uses locking pins that go in to the holes on the drives. That specific case only uses these for 5.25" mounting, but I imagine there are some out there that use them for 3.5" as well, and that extra little bit of clearance a #6 needs versus an M3 could be enough to allow it to rattle, especially with a fan attached. The second quirk is the spacing between the end of the 2.5" drive and the end of the bracket. Other brackets of this style that I've used have a notch cut out along that edge, to leave more room for the power and SATA connectors. These ones go straight across, which means that some connectors, especially right-angle power connectors (or the right-angle-style ones in the middle of some daisy-chains) might either not fit at all, or possibly damage the connector on the drive by bending it too much.

Bought this to fit two 2.5 SSDs into one slot of my desktop server, along with adding an extra drive to my HP Prodesk 600 G4 SFF that normally would hold only one 3.5 drive. I did notice that the fit of the drives does make the cage bow slightly, but shouldnt be something to be concerned with as the thickness of the metal is good for a drive cage. Comes with plenty of screws mine came with 5 packs of 6. The included screwdriver is useless and shouldnt be included, its a waste because it doesnt even fit the screws its to small! If the manufacturer included one that fit the screws and was magnified it would have made it better. Installation was easy once you had that magnetized screwdriver. Performance? Well its a drive cage!
