2.5" To 3.5" Ssd/sata Convert Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Some sites' reviewers are complaining this is overpriced.True you can get 2.5" to 3.5" drive rails quite easily for only a couple bucks.The point of this product, however, is that it makes the 2.5" drive FIT into SATA backplanes and drive bays made to directly slide/hot-swap 3.5" drives.For this product's concept, I give it 5 stars.

Unfortunately, its construction is rather cheap.It consistently got jammed in one of my drive bays.In general, I am comparing to VelociRaptor HLFS "backplane" ice packs which don't have any issues and are almost too high of quality.Because of the construction and occasional fit issues, I knock it down to 4 stars.

Finally, the ventilation is very poor.When used with SSDs, it is fine, but with a normal laptop hard drive (I used a single platter 7200 RPM), and the drive got extremely hot.Thus, I give it 3 stars net.

If you REALLY need a good backplane adapter for hard drives, I'm afraid the only good ones come with the WD VelociRaptors which cost $150+.For SSDs, though, it is adequate.Also, note that Icy Dock has a newer, cheaper/simpler product for SSDs that I have not used.
