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.

5.0 out of 5 starsWorked like a charm
September 25, 2019
Verified Purchase
Was converting an old PC into a FreeNAS box, and wanted a better solution to storing a spare drive in the system instead of simply having it hanging out in the open inside the PC case. Purchased this Orico hard drive mounting bracket (B01LZWX6PD) along with a StarTech hot swap 3.5 HDD rack (HSB100SATBK).

Mounted the hot swap rack into the system, inserted a SSD into the mount, and put the whole thing into the PC without any issues. I thought at first I might run into a snag, seeing that the mounting bracket was ever so slightly shorter than an “normal” hard drive, but those worries quickly evaporated.

Installation went pretty smooth, and the PC had no issues recognizing the Kingston SSD I inserted into the mounting bracket.

I would have no issues repurchasing this setup should the need arise. While not entirely necessary, it was worth spending the extra couple bucks for this solution.

5.0 out of 5 starsPerfect size
September 6, 2017
Verified Purchase
I have several exactly similar adapters made out of aluminum, 3X the cost. When screwed into my server trays, the geometry of placement of the external SATA connector is exactly right, allowing me to position a 2.5" spinning disk drive or SSD inside it and have the external SATA connector line up with where the tray plugs into the computer. Most importantly, the plastic material is perfectly adequate for heat dissipation of an SSD inside the server. No need for aluminum to accomplish the heat transfer. I had no issues with mounting a 2.5" drive into the adapter, the screws provided are exactly right. Beautifully packaged too!

5.0 out of 5 starsSUPER 2.5 IN. DRIVE CONVERSION - BEST DESIGN IN THE BUSINESS Fantastic product !
October 5, 2019
Verified Purchase
I service, build, use computer and have for about forever. Used several different types of this product. However, this version is the best, most useful and well throughout unit on the market. Easily transforms your 2.5 in. SSD or HDD into a perfect duplicate of a 3.5 inch Drive. Its fits perfectly into any unit that requires a 3.5 in drive. I just rebuilt my personal computer going from large, hot, noisy, 3.5 inch drives using this product. Heat dissipation, noise, and difficult fits simply were not there. Slip in a 2.5 in. SSD 2 TB drive and clone the system took about 2 hours and the heat produced by the two 3.5 inch monsters is a thing of the past. No heating of system, reduced current needs, NO noise, just fast easy operation. This design is the best on the market, without any question. You have got to update your system using these !!

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat for iMac
September 13, 2019
Verified Purchase
I was replacing a standard HDD in my late 2013 iMac with a Samsung 860 EVO 500GB. The mounts inside the the iMac are meant for a 3.5 inch drive and the SSD is only 2.5. I needed something to hold my SSD in place and this particular mounting tray did the trick.
The tray comes with the screws to secure the ssd in place. I used the side screws that were from the old HDD in the iMac to screw into the side of this mounting bracket. Everything fit perfectly.

5.0 out of 5 starsMount a SSD drive EXACTLY like 3 1/2" drive
August 23, 2019
Verified Purchase
Unlike most adapters to mount a SSD drive in a desktop computer, this adapter makes the two drive connections come out EXACTLY as if the drive were a true 3 1/2" drive when mounted in the computer. Normally this is not very important, but some projects require the connections to be the same as a 3 1/2" drive would be. This unit does the job perfectly. Extremely pleased to find this product.

5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent For Their Purpose
October 5, 2018
Verified Purchase
The purpose of these is to convert a 2.5" SSD into the form factor of a 3.5" hard drive, and for this functionality, it works perfectly.

Yes, they are plastic, but once you have a hard drive installed, how much jostling around in a computer will there be?

They have vents for airflow, metal connectors seated into the plastic for strength when installed. The SATA connectors fit exactly where the SATA connectors on a 3.5" drive fit.

I'm very impressed by these. We have removable drive trays for our nightly backups, and I didn't know these existed until I wanted to upgrade my backup hard drives to SSD.

Five stars.

5.0 out of 5 starsIt does exactly what it's supposed to do.
May 10, 2019
Verified Purchase
As far as I can tell, this item (the "ORICO 2.5 to 3.5 Hard Drive Adapter HDD SSD Mounting Bracket Tray...blah, blah, blah" works as it is designed. I really can't speak to any cooling (or lack thereof) that it does. I bring this up b/c it's designed to look, at least, like a heat spreader. The drive that I stuck in it doesn't get particularly hot but, to be fair, I have't run that drive for several hours and then touched it to see how hot it got. That said, the drive fits snugly inside this tray and the tray fits as it should inside my case. I haven't gotten any weird error messages or had any incompatibility issues since installing this tray. This plus the fact that it's reasonably priced makes it a good buy in my book.

5.0 out of 5 starsWorks Great
July 1, 2019
Verified Purchase
I bought this because I had a failing HDD and wanted to replace it with a new SATA 3 SSD. I bought the Samsung EVO SSD but my desktop has 3.5 hdd trays that mate to the sata interface to easily swap. Tried a couple of the cheaper metal adapters but they failed miserably so I tried this one. It worked great - no issue now I can plug into the computer and swap out the ssd anytime. And with the cost of the SSD falling and the size increasing I suspect I will be able to replace the 1T for 2or 4T SSD in the near future and this will make it a snap.

5.0 out of 5 starsEasy to use, well made and fits perfectly.
October 25, 2019
Verified Purchase
I bought this to install a new SSD into an existing 5.25 drive bay, and it worked flawlessly. The construction is entirely of plastic, I thought since it was designed like a heat sink maybe it would be machined aluminum, but it's plastic. Still it is well made, fits the ssd easily, and comes with necessary mounting screws. I also like that the holes for the mounting screws have brass inserts given that the body is plastic this is a nice feature.

I have a 5 bay Orico 3.5 external drive enclosure USB 3.0 and I wanted to move my old 256gb SSD drives into two of the hot swappable drive bays, these drive adapters make the 2.5 SSD drives fit and function like 3.5 standard hard drives, the doors on the drive enclosure have the function of pushing the drive out when opened and pushing it in when closed so the installed drive needs to be the same shape to preform this function these drive adapters accomplish that.
