Cons: I didn't stress test the brackets
Pros: Metal, screw holes for screws Comment:
These are pretty simple brackets that do exactly what they are supposed to do and nothing else. No rubber mountings or anything like that.. you get two pieces of metal that let you put a 3.5in drive (or a 2.5in drive in 3.5in bracket) into a 5.25 bay. |

Cons: unsure what the screws are meant for - too small for SSD or case holes...
Pros: cheapmade of metal Comment:
Instead of buying a 5.25 to 2.5 kit, I bought this because my SSD came with a 3.5 adapter. So now my SSD sits in two adapters. A little wobbly, maybe? Well, good thing SSD's don't spin or move or stuff. And with some screws that did NOT come with this adapter, I was able to make it work. |

Cons: Would love to have had a diagram to work from
Pros: Pretty basic mounting rails Comment:
It may sound obvious but it took a while to figure out the best way to use these rails. I had extra 5.25 bays but needed to mount a 3.5 inch drive, these were cheap and effective but a little picture of how to use them would have been nice! |

Cons: not enough holes?
Pros: price, rigidity. Comment:
it works as advertised; it will allow one to mount 3.5" devices into a 5.25" slot. I used this to mount an extra hard drive into a case that ran out of internal 3.5" bays. |

Cons: Does not come in see-through
Pros: Holds drives in place Comment:
Wonderful part, it does the job perfectly. I ordered four of them, and have not used any yet, but I checked and they have the right dimensions and screw-holes (that sounds dirty). They are shiny metal and have all the features that I would like to see in a set of drive brackets. |

Pros: Works as advertised. Can also be used as a passive hard drive cooler when you add some MX-7 cooling paste... Comment:
Used this to mount one of my Samsung 500GB hard drives. When some MX-7 paste is applied to it, this can act as a passive hard drive cooler! |

Cons: It's built cheap as well
Pros: Cheap and simple Comment:
It's $2.43, what do you expect. It does the job. It may have vibration but it's not made for sound deadening anyways. |

Pros: Price, quality, good amount of screws Comment:
I bought these since the hard drive bays in some of the cases I bought scratched the hard drives. These are good, they come with a good amount of screws so that you don't have to go hunting for some on your own. |

Pros: Very affordable. Comment:
Very affordable brackets. Not much to say, they do what they functionally should. The package included screws so it's all you need to adapt a 3.5" drive to a 5.25" bay. Good value. |

Pros: Cheap mounting solution.Comes with screws! Comment:
This dirt cheap gadget could do more than simply allow an extra hard drive to be fitted. I've been a believer in keeping drives as cool as possible, especially with heavy use - and so I've used various cooling solutions. Spacing drives and using a large quiet fan will work just as well though and be quieter (as checked with hddtemp during huge file transfers). |

Cons: No Vibration dampening, Pure metal on metal! Creates a loud humming that is amplified throughout case.
Pros: Cheap, Easy to install. Gives more HDD storage room Comment:
I used this in a CM 690 case as there is no solution (save cutting metal) for IDE drives. I rigged this thing up in a few minutes, and installed a WD80gig into a 5.25 bay. Very solid mounting rails. In fact, so solid that now my computer hums with the HD. Very annoying sound.... All my efforts to silence my computer have been in vain.... Aside from the noise, great product. |

Pros: best option when you want to mount many hdd's in older case Comment:
they are quite versatile when you include the option of mounting hdd's upside down. Using three pairs of these i mounted 3 hdd's in two 5 1/4" slots with a 120mm fan in front of them. |

Pros: -good way to fit extra hard drives in your case-come with a lot of screws Comment:
My case and a lot of other cases I notice has 5+ 5.25 bays I needed some extra room for hard drives. These were a great in expensive solution |

Cons: - none considering the cost
Pros: - lets me manage my tower space a lot better- cheap- easy to install- comes with its own screws Comment:
This is a good way to add more hard drives to your system even in small towers. Cheap, quick to install and even comes with its own screws!What's even better is that it works fine with drive rails that many towers have.I can see this being useful even if you do have enough 3.5" drive space in the tower... lots of times CD/DVD drive bays are pretty empty and moving one of the 3.5" drives to that space could improve air flow spread the heat more evenly. |

Pros: - Easy to use Comment:
If you run out of room in your computer for HDs, this is the solution. Make sure you have enough room in your tower before buying this item. |

Pros: Eight screws, not four! Comment:
They are just a mounting kit. Very useful.I expected to only get 4 screws, but instead these came with eight. Great thing to get more than you need of. I needed two, I got six. |

Good price on an item that alot of people might need. If you run out of room in your computer for HDs, this is the solution. Also, who really uses the spare 5 1/4 slots anyways? |

Cons: Aucune vis d'incluse.Aucune procédure d'utilisation incluse.
Pros: Pas cher.Permet d'installer un disque dur dans un emplacer de graveur CD/DVD. Comment:
Cet adapteur pour montage de disque dur 3.5 pouces dans un emplacement de 5.25 pouces est fonctionnnel. Il serait bien par contre qu'un ensemble de vis soit inclus avec celui-ci. |

Cons: none
Pros: can be mounted in a number of different ways, should fit any case Comment:
this kit is great if you have many hard drives and don't want them too close to each other. my drives run cooler now because of the better air flow, and i won't be needing a hard drive cooler now thanks to these. |
Bought these to put a hard drive into a 5.25 inch bay and simply works fine. It could use some better quality on the screws since they are easily broken after a few use. Overall, good for the price and works as advertise.
