Review on General Drive HDD Adapter CADDY by Antonio Scisson

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Top quality metal construction, not sure about longevity of connector

The metal bracket on this adapter is top quality - strong, well made and precise. The drive bay slot is correctly offset for removable drives. However, I agree with other reviewers that the SATA connector board could be better. The main problem is that the SATA connector that fits into the drive bay is loose and wobbly on the edge of the board. It appears that the connector's solder joints fail after a few insertion/removal cycles due to mechanical force. I haven't had any crashes to be honest, but my adapter isn't used on a removable drive, so it's just plugged in all the time. If you are using this on a frequently removed drive I would be careful not to put too much pressure on the connector.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Very expensive
