Review on Black Aluminum 5.25 to 2.5/3.5 Inch Internal HDD Mounting Kit with Screws and Shock Absorption Rubber Washer by ORICO - Enhanced SEO by Will Lockhart

Works well if you mount a 3.5 " drive with the side screws

You have an old Antec case and wanted an Exos 3.5" drive in one of the Install 5.25-inch drive bays. In this case, the 5.25-inch bays have screws on one side and springs on the other. I first tried attaching the drive to the tray using the bottom holes, but as someone else pointed out, they don't line up. The screw holes on the side of the drive line up exactly with the holes on the sides of the tray. The variety of screws provided was good. I used two to attach the drive to the tray and two more to install the tray in the case. The only problem was getting the screws through the holes in the case and into the tray, but it was due to the poor lighting and bad visibility. Once I put it in place it seemed solid. Recommended. BTW I started using Ironwolf hard drives on my server. I later tried Seagate Exos, they run warmer and have a longer warranty.

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • Almost OK
