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.

2.0 out of 5 starsNot Quite Right
November 11, 2019
Verified Purchase
I ordered this caddy to install a WD Velociraptor drive into. Installation went well. Power connector to computer was very tight. I tried several connectors and all were tight.
The WD drive failed to rotate. I removed the WD drive and installed a Seagate drive & it worked fine. Took another WD drive out of its caddy, & installed it in this caddy, it would not rotate either. Took a third WD drive out and installed it, and it will not rotate either. Placed the Seagate drive back in and it still works fine.
So, based on 3 WD Velociraptor fails (all 3 are known good drives), & one Seagate success, I cannot recommend this product if it is intended to hold a WD Velociraptor drive.

2.0 out of 5 starsConnector position is off...
March 26, 2019
Verified Purchase
The connector is at least 1 to 1.5 mm higher than in should be, and because of that, the installed drive does not rest properly in the adapter. Also, installing (or removing) the drive puts stress on the connector, because you are installing (or removing) the drive without proper support at the bottom! I tried three different SSDs (Crucial, Samsung, and Sandisk), and all of them exhibited the same problem, and therefore, it is not drive specific. The adapter is bad.

2.0 out of 5 starsProduct claims are misleading at best
December 21, 2018
Verified Purchase
This "sled" that enables placement of a 2.5" SATA drive (i.e. SSD) into a 3.5" slot or carrier claimed to be thermally beneficial. In fact despite all the slats in the sides, most of them are blocked, and the airflow is minimal. So the description "Good Heat Dissipation: The side slots and open design greatly improves heat dissipation and protects your hard drive" is misleading at best. This is a cheap plastic mounting tray ... I'm not going to return it (too much hassle at this low price), but I would never buy it again either. The screws are low quality ... I guess you get what you pay for.

2.0 out of 5 starsPlastic makes this a very bad choice
March 21, 2019
Verified Purchase
My bad, that I missed in the product details below that this was made of ABS plastic, otherwise I would have given it one star. But two stars is still justified, as the design of the bracket is simulating a heat sink. My application was a tight during RAID box, and I was going to buy an open frame bracket to improve airflow, but I bought these (and paid more) because I thought I was getting a heatsink design. But in that it's plastic, it not only insulates the heat, it also blocks all the airflow. This is a horrible product.

2.0 out of 5 starsNot metal
July 30, 2018
Verified Purchase
With the premium price and heat-sink design, if you don't read carefully you might think this adapter is metal. It isn't. It's plastic. The "heat sink ribs" probably do more to impede airflow than help with cooling. Still, it does make a 2.5" drive fit a 3.5" space, and unlike many mounts, it includes all the screw holes in all the right places.

2.0 out of 5 starsIt is PLASTIC, not metal!

Looks like a screw on heat sink BUT it is made of PLASTIC! 😫

Plastic is an insulator, not a conductor and the fins DO NOTHING to cool the drive - the fins have no purpose EXCEPT to FOOL YOU into thinking the tray will extract heat. 😮

It is a molded piece of plastic made to look like metal. 🙁

2.0 out of 5 starsNot compatible with 1TB WD Velociraptor
July 28, 2019
Verified Purchase
I know that these aren't the original aluminum ice packs that come with the velociratpros, but i did need to mount my raptors into a 3.5" slot so i bought two of these and also fro the heat dissipation that they advertise. Turns out that these adapters either do not provide enough power to spin up my drives or something else is going on here. the drives are good i tested them in a sata to usb cradle. defeats the purpose so i will initiate a return.

2.0 out of 5 starsPlastic ?? Really....!!??
August 14, 2019
Verified Purchase
Nothing in the description whatsoever mentions the product is completely made of plastic. Amazon photos distinctly show "cooling fins" but one must ask: "How do plastic fins create any sort of meaningful heat dissipation?". Fortunately, at twice the price (and worth it!) I found a genuine Western Digital HDD caddy made 100% from metal and does an outstanding job of heat dissipation.

It is plastic and has no through holes it holds in heat better than it dissipates it
