Review on Syba Adapter Optical Drive Components by Brian Rogers

22.05. - I bought this to fit a 2.5" removable drive into my Optiplex 7010 desktop and still keep a DVD-RW. the price reflects this. If you have a single 5.25 slot and rarely change your drives, I think you'll find this invaluable. The CD bay holds the 12.7mm drive very well, and with a magnetized screwdriver it's easy to secure with the screws provided. I found that if you have a desktop computer on the side, the drives open fit their side, thin shims (7mm) often miss the connector, thicker shims (9mm) are fine. If the actuator is positioned so that the natural downward direction coincides with gravity, everything works fine every time. A small leaf spring pushing against the actuator would be a welcome improvement.
