With this converter, mounting a 2.5 drive into a desktop will be simple without having to purchase any special attachments or systems, allowing more convenience in recovering data from laptops or OS boot up onto a desktop. It is very convenient for gamers and power users who expect SSD speed on their home/ office computers. Mostly, it is designed to fit into most common PC cases, 3.5 HDD duplicator, 3.5 SATA HDD enclosure, mobile rack, and backplane modules without having to purchase any attachments for the 2.5 drives. This state-of-the-art case will revolutionize the way 2.5 drives are presently used.

5 out of 5 stars Well built, works great   February 14, 2010

I used this to mount an Intel X25M SSD in a first-generation Mac Pro.

Pluses:
- it worked perfectly
- no screws needed, very easy to mount
- slick design, well built

It did exactly what it was supposed to.

Note that if you don't need a backplane mount for the 2.5" drive (normal cases don't; rack mount servers and some workstation cases like Mac Pros do), you don't need this. If you don't know if you need it, you probably don't.



5 out of 5 stars Does what it was supposed to do for SSDs.   December 4, 2009

I had little to no trouble placing my Corsair P128 SSD in this converter. It was just the right answer to turn the SSD into a desktop/gaming drive. It connected properly into the SATA connector inside the converter, it was recognized in BIOS, and installed Windows 7 without dropping. Very solid converter to turn any SSD into a desktop drive, and would recommend it. It is a little steep in the price tag, but for the simplicity of not needing any tools other than to attach it inside your PC case, it's golden.

This 2.5" to 3.5" SSD/SATA adapter is ideal. I purchased two of them for my ABS Canyon 695 desktop case and they fit perfectly. Installation could not be simpler. There is little ventilation with these but solid state drives generate almost no heat.

If you haven't moved to solid state hard drive technology you should do so as soon as you can. These drives are wickedly fast and cannot compare to the older hard drive technology.

This product worked beautifully to solve the problem of fitting my SSD in my computer case. I didn't expect it to be so easy. I would highly recommend this converter.
