| Pros: My case, a Lian Li PC-9, has a passive sata backplane 4 drive cage. I had been delaying moving to an SSD for my os as I wanted to keep using the swap feature provided by the drive cage.
The AdaptaDrive perfectly fit the bill. Feels smooth and solidly built. Converted my new SSD to a 3.5 inch drive.
The adaptaDrive mimics the bottom third (or so) of a standard height 3.5 inch drive. So the Lian Li "handle" and rail guide attached to the adaptaDrive and into the the drive cage it slid.
Just perfect. |
| Cons: None. |
| Other Thoughts: The SATA connector is a simple pass-through. It just repositions the sata data and power of the 2.5 drive to where they should be on a 3.5 drive.
The newertech web page for the adaptaDrive has a nice gallery. Shows the four bottom and six side (three per side) mounting screw holes that should work with most drive rail systems.
If your drive/rail system needs to latch near the 'top' of the drive, or the 3.5 inch label side of the drive, you may have an issue. But I have not seen systems like that in years. |
