2.5" SSD to 3.5" SATA Hard Disk Drive HDD Adapter Caddy Tray CAGE Hot Swap Plug

Fitting perfectly into my Dell Optiplex 7020 SFF Plus. Added a 2.5" SATA - fitted well, easy to install and matched the other metal caging in the PC. Excellent.

There are plenty 2.4-3.5" adapter brackets and I have used many different designs over the years. They all work, they all do the job and by and large it matters not whether you get a cheap plastic one for 99p from a well known auction site or a super-expensive brand name model made of anodised aluminium with a fancy logo. However, there are times when it does matter, and a case in point is upgrading an older iMac's hard drive to SSD. The iMac is built to the 3.5" form factor and assumes everything is _just so_ in terms of size, shape, placement of screws, connectors etc and in this case, a bracket like this one is essential. There will be similar cases in the PC world too. Certain servers, hot-swap caddies etc. If that's the case for you, get this bracket. Otherwise, save yourself the bother and the money and get the cheapest available adapter.

My Dell XPS8930 is probably the slowest PC I have ever owned even after installing more RAM it drove me nuts with how slow it was. I had to wait for SSD drives to be less expensive before taking the plunge and replacing the HDD with a new Crucial SSD all I needed was a decent 3.5 to 2.5 convertor and this item looked the part. On delivery it didn't disappoint and was a complete doddle to fit into the existing HDD bay with minimum effort on my part. As easy as flicking a light switch. The item is well made and although I didn't need them there was a set of screws for those who have to screw this item into their PC HDD bay. My PC is as fast as lightning now. The item is very well made and worth every penny!

This adapter was a good buy, it fits into the PC case easily but at the same time is a good fit, there's little or no slack. The screws you get with it came in handy as I didn't have any spare ones that were the right size. Good buy.

All fitted ok and with extra screws incase the ssd/ disk has different threads Great to add 2.5 ssd/disk in older 3.5 slot neatly.

Each computer I’ve needed to refurbish by converting from HDD to SDD this item has been a life saver! In total I have purchased 2 of these but on 2 separate occasions. 1st occasion I needed to convert a computer where I volunteer at from HDD to SDD and fittings was absolutely perfect no modifications or complaints needed. The 2nd occasion I needed to again convert a computer from HDD to SDD. Only issue I had with this occasion was the 6 holes one the caddy was just 1mm to 1.5mm to 2mm too small to fit into a hot swap bay caddy, however with just enlarging them ever so slightly. Again worked like a charm. I tend to purchase a few more of these caddies and without a doubt I will be buying more if I need them if and when we need them at my occupation :)

does the job

Fitted replacement SSD into this caddy then installed it in the PC housing. Worked perfectly
