    ordered one of these for same delivery on Friday last week - still waiting - according to tracking it's coming from WA to Melbourne on Couriers Please, so could be here in the New Year if they're in their usual form…

      Black Friday just happened. Normal items that I order are backlogged.

    I need a 3.5 to 2.5 enclose, so I can fit my 4tb into the refurbished Lenovo.

    Is this just for aesthetics, I have a 2.5 inch drive installed into the drive bay of my PC using existing screw holes.

      Yep.. I reckon it's a waste of money. It would probably hinder airflow too.

        It'll help heat your drive. Good for cold morning starts. Soaks all the heat in the case, and keeps it right next to your drive.

      It does make cable organisation easier by aligning the SDDs with 3.5 HDDs.

      It’s a bit more than that. This give your drive the physical dimensions- and to some extent weight- as a full sized disk. This is useful - if not required to say fit it into a clip on tray or push into a hot swap drive bay where you dock the pins. The metal body also acts as a heat sink. I’ve had cheap thin plastic trays that hold the ssd in the corner but they really don’t work that well due to how they allow flex.

      I’ll grab one to put in a server, NAS bay or say a Dream Machine Pro. To use in a tower PC drive bay it’s not needed.

        This one is plastic though. I've never seen a metal one actually.

        I bought one to turn the 5.25 bay on my old In Win 904 into a hot swap bay, and they only seem to take 3.5" drives.

        • Elijha on 06/12/2023 - 10:46

          Oh. I have metal one that look like this, my error.

    • rhangman on 06/12/2023 - 09:44

      Not all bays will have 2.5" screw holes. For PC cases,often just get plastic brackets that sometimes just have pins that push into the sides of 3.5" drives. You then just slide the assembly in. On the other hand, any hot swap cage will likely have 4 holes in the base to mount a 2.5" drive whilst lining the SATA ports up to the backplane.

      Only real use case I can think of would be for old 10k RPM 2.5" HDDs where the heatsink would actually be useful. Even then, if the case is designed to move air through the bays to cool the HDDs, then this looks like it would actually block airflow. Then for a regular drive in a setup where cables connect directly to the ports, then those cheap bent sheet metal brackets that just screw in either side would work fine.

    • whitcut on 06/12/2023 - 09:44

      My PC basically has 2 beams 3.5 inches apart for the HDD's, so it would need one of these to fit a 2.5 in a 3.5 bay.
      Yours will be layed out differently, maybe with a plate across the width?

    • meeowth on 06/12/2023 - 09:52

      This is for PC's that don't have a place to mount 2.5 inch drives, which I admit is probably limited to fairly old cases. TBH one of my cases is old enough to lack anywhere to screw 2.5 inch drives, but I just let them freely float around, flapping in the breeze. They are SSDs after all, it's not like they have a drive head that must be parked for movement.

      On the other hand, there are a lot of devices other than desktop computers that have drives, and they often only have one mount, like older videogame consoles or NAS boxes.

    A bit of an obscure usage case, but if you have an old fat model PS2 this would be good to pair with a HDD network adapter to get a 2.5" hard drive working with FreeMcBoot.

      ever use the Fork of FreeMcBoot?, FreeHDBoot
      Dont even need a memory card to boot up

        Yeah actually using that now, it's pretty neat!

  • Alzori on 06/12/2023 - 11:25

    Why use this when you can just tape your SSD to the side panel of your case/tuck it into the cable area somewhere. They'll be fine.

    • bargaino on 06/12/2023 - 12:18

      Duct tape really is the solution here.
