4.0 out of 5 starsScrew threads NOT the same as standard 3.5" HDD
December 13, 2017
I like this product a lot, and there is only one reason that I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 stars, and that is because the brass inserts for the screws are not 3.5" hard drive thread, they are floppy drive / CD Rom drive thread (finer thread) which in most applications will be fine, but if you are mounting it in a device that uses special screws (as I was, a 2009 21.5" iMac), you have to find alternatives. The OEM mac hard drive used an insulated screw on one side and a spacer on the other side, both standard HDD thread. I had to force the spacer studs in because I had no alternative and find longer FDD thread screws. The fins being plastic make no difference to me as SSD's don't really generate heat

Pro's:
Cheap
Great Fit
SATA/Power connector in standard 3.5" hdd locatoin

Con's:
Brass inserts use FDD threads instead of HDD threads

2.0 out of 5 starsPLASTIC!!!!
December 19, 2017
Although this thing looks like a giant heat sink and says it has "great heat dissipation through fins", IT'S PLASTIC.

Plastic is an insulator, not a conductor and the fins DO NOT go all the way through so they actually impede airflow. It's basically a molded piece of plastic with metal bolts embedded for securing it.

It DOES fit fine and works ok for SSD's which don't get particularly hot, but I wouldn't put a 15k SAS drive in it.

Whatever claims the vendor has for heat dissipation as complete 100% BS. Do not use it if you're looking for any kind of heat mitigation or putting into a hot low airflow environment.

Also, I ordered two of these. In one normal hard drive screws worked just fine and I had no problems with them. On the other one I had to re-tap the threads because normal hard drive screws did not fit.

At $7.99 this product is extremely overpriced given that it's just a hunk of molded plastic with sometimes-working screw holes. I'm going to use the two I ordered because returning them is more hassle than it's worth, but I certainly wouldn't buy them again.

1.0 out of 5 starsIt Only Looks Like a Heat Sink
May 21, 2018
Verified Purchase
It's appearance is that it's a good heat sink too. However, it's made out of ABS plastic, a plastic that isn't particularly good at conducting heat. An open-frame adapter made of metal would be better because metal does conduct heat away from the drive. If I can return it, I will return it.

1.0 out of 5 starsOnly for Notebook drives - not Enterprise Drives
March 21, 2019
Verified Purchase
While I really liked the design concept - I just cannot understand why this manufacturer would fail to connect both the 12 volt and the 5 volt lines. There is ZERO savings for them not to do this. They used a printed circuit board to connect the two sides - which means all pins were already "connected" and soldered. The traces on the circuit board were etched away - it would have cost the same to leave them. Because they failed to do this - enterprise 2.5" drives (think servers) that use the 12 volt power line, will not work with this adapter. I voided my warranty on three units and jumpered the 12 volt lines - problem solved. No one needs this adapter - just get a simple MHL2PK-RX-C200P from amazon for $3.00 each and use the existing cable which fit the 2.5" drive perfectly - they are the same connector. Shame on you Orico. Quality parts used - but extremely poor execution.

1.0 out of 5 starsMade of plastic, fake heat sink!
January 7, 2019
Verified Purchase
This product is made of plastic and deceives buyers like me who expected heat sink capability. I'd give it zero stars if I could for being a RUSE--a cunning attempt to trick buyers!!! Since 1 star is the minimum, I'll give it the 1 star for actually holding a 2.5-in disk in a 3.5-in disk bay as advertised.

1.0 out of 5 starsScrew holes are not standard 3.5" size
May 11, 2017
Verified Purchase
While the basic functionality is fine, the design is flawed.

If you're mounting your drive in any hotswap bay track that requires special screws in the drive chassis... this is no good.
The screw holes on the sides of the chassis are NOT standard 3.5" hdd screw sizes; the fit custom screws, so branded hotswap hardware for 3.5" drives will not fit this

1.0 out of 5 starsWill NOT work in a Trayless Rack Bay / hot swap bay
April 16, 2018
Verified Purchase
So its not dimensionally the same size as a 3.5" drive - its smaller height-wise, and as such does NOT work in a trayless disk mount - it doesn't align properly. Useless for my needs... If you want to mount it inside a case - probably would work at holding the drive... would be ok connected by cables.

I guess I should have read closer. It's plastic so it doesn't work as a heat sink and the look of the design and picture would make you think.

1.0 out of 5 starsTotal junk
May 15, 2017
Verified Purchase
Like other reviewers said it's made of plastic which is an insulator. The sata interface didn't work I had no power to the drive. I ended up cutting a lot of plastic away to hook it straight to sata and power. Total junk but I'm not going to wait days and deal with the return process. Needed a 3.5 to 2.5 adapter and had to make it work asap. Very dissatisfied

I bought 2 of these. The plastic around the pins broke on both during install. Obviously returning.

This product did not work with anything I put into it. I tried an SSD, a hard drive, and a 10k rpm hard drive. None worked on Mac Pro 3.8 very disappointed

1.0 out of 5 starsFar From Universal, Close to Greatness
May 25, 2017
Verified Purchase
While at first glance, this looks like the best hard drive adapter option on Amazon, however, the numerous problems and design flaws have made it a product I never want to encounter again.

Pros:
It seems to be electronically adequate. SSDs in this adapter do run at full SATA 3 speeds.
Matches the form factor of a slim 3.5" HDD and features all ten standard mounting points (SEE CONS!).
Places the SATA connector in the standard location for a 3.5" drive.
Appears to be durable.

Neutral:
Made of plastic. I have no idea how any of these other reviews expected aluminum at this price.
Looks attractive.
Nicely fills the space of a 3.5" drive.

Cons:
The fake heatsink surrounds the drive closely on three sides, limiting airflow.
Of the three units I purchased, two had sketchy looking solder on the power pins, putting expensive components at risk
The brass threaded inserts for mounting ARE NOT STANDARD. You must use the included screws which are the same size as the mounting threads on 2.5" drives, which are narrower and finer threaded than 3.5" drive screws. This means that these adapters are not compatible with most toolless drive caddies, or solutions using alternative mounting methods. They are incompatible with both Dell Optiplex towers, HP ENVY 700 towers, and Apple iMacs, plus (I expect) many more systems.

In summary, these looked like a truly universal solution, but are far from. With standard threads on the screws, no wall between the fins and the drive, and higher quality solder joints, this product would be an easy five stars at this price. Here's hoping for an awesome revision two!

EDIT 6/5/17: Added more incompatible models.
