SilverStone SDP08 3.5" to 2 x 2.5" Bay Converter

Comment:
The adapter itself is sturdy. No issues attaching an OCZ Vertex SSD drive. All the mounting bolts had been included with the adapter.As often, it's been a pleasure functioning with Newegg, both quite speedy delivery and processing. Sadly, the mounting bolts (and bolt holes in the adapter) are slightly smaller sized than is frequent (not a difficulty if you use the mounting bolts that the manufacturer supplied).With my case nevertheless (HAF922), the 3.5" internal drives are mounted into a separate bracket which uses pins to hold the drive (or converter with drive in this case) alternatively of bolts.Mainly because the mounting holes in the Silverstone Bay Converter are slightly smaller sized, this did cause me to have to modify it slightly so the pins could match into place. Mainly because of the modification, I am not in a position to give it a complete five eggs even although I consider it would essentially merit four.five.In addition, this would not be an challenge in the least if your case allows you to use the manufacturer provided mounting bolts.In the finish, I will absolutely be thinking of this product once again if I require one more adapter.

Nice drive tray. All of the edges are smooth so none of these sliced fingers that you sit and wonder 'where did that come from?'. Screw holes were all tapped cleanly so installation was a breeze. Worked nicely with my Critical 128GB SSD. none

What else to say. It fit perfectly into my swappable tray in my Thermaltake Shark (yeah I know, old case but still kicking!). Would buy others without hesitation!

-Strong construction-Holds two SSD's -Can be a bit of a pain to get screws into side of SSD by means of 12mm hole but then once more most HDD adapters are like that.-When 2 SSD's are installed there is really little room to plug in each SATA connector, specially if utilizing 90degree angle SATA's. Flipping 1 SSD upside down can support with this but still a tight match reguardless. Generating the holes two-3mm farther apart for mounting the SSD would make mounting 2 SSD's a lot simpler.The only purpose I deducted 1 egg was due to the SATA connector spacing.

It is solidily constructed, it does specifically what is it supposed to without having hassle or dilemma, comes with screws, AND the value is appropriate. None, period! I extremely advocate this bay converter. Don't waste your time, dollars and return shipping charges on these plastic gadgets. This plain Jane solid metal adapter does precisely what it is supposed to do and does it flawlessly. It fits like a comfy glove in my Antec P180 case HD bays. After obtaining problems with other plastic devices, I known as SilverStone just before purchasing to make confident it would fit my case. They gave me the details I required quick and friendly.

Does what it's supposed to do. This factor can hold two drives, but I wouldn't propose making use of it with two mechanical drives, due to the fact I feel the reduced one could get quite hot. The design produced it somewhat challenging to screw the heard drive into the bracket, but this wasn't also much of a damaging due to the fact I will rarely will need to take away the drive.

None I just got the Fortress Ft01, when searching on their web-site it shows them on the SDP08 web page slidding in a ssd to the hot swap bay. Only guess what, the connectors don't line up. Manufacturer Response:Thank you extremely substantially for acquiring SilverStone. The SDP08 was developed to set up two 2.5" HDD/SSD so it is unable to lineup with hot-swappable connectors. Even so, you can nevertheless use the SDP08 in the hot-swap bay without hot-swap connector from the Fotress FT01, you will just require to connect them via typical SATA cables.We are organizing on releasing a different adapter made for hot-swapping so please stay tuned!

It is metal. It feels strong. No bells and whistles. It does what it's supposed to do.There's sufficient of a gap in involving the drives to enable airflow. You can\'t use an L-shaped SATA connector on the prime drive if you have two drives mounted in it, because the other SATA cable gets in the way. I had a plastic adapter which accumulated dust ahead of this adapter. I think this is a a lot more elegant resolution.

Strong construction. Extremely heavy-duty, type of overkill in fact. Drives placed at far end of bracket in contrast to quite a few other individuals; permits easier placement of connectors. None. I've used various brands and this is so far the nicest. Particularly if you have a window and this will be visible, this is a wonderful bracket. The finish is outstanding.

No jagged edges. Holes for really hard drives and mounting in case in the best spot! A good way to have each a attractive ITX case and RAID. Difficult drives stay around 40-45 degrees Celsius, which is about the very same as 1 three.five" tough drive in the ITX case. As others have noted, the bottom challenging drive does come close to the actual caddy. I lined the bottom with electrical tape for that piece of thoughts. Worked well so far. I had a HP slimline that I replaced the motherboard in a couple months ago. The replacement motherboard had RAID built into it. I wanted to have a server at my new place that didn't take up much area. I figured if the Mac Mini can be produced into a server, so can a HP slimline. The difficulty would be putting two hard drives into the case. This caddy produced it incredibly uncomplicated. I used two 500GB Western Digital 7200 RPM notebook challenging drives, and I am incredibly satisfied with it so far. The hard drives stay fairly cool for becoming in a small case. I consider there will be more HP slimlines receiving a RAID upgrade. Incredibly great product!

Antec 900 case and a Vital SSD. The long screws required for this case fit the threaded holes in this Bay Converter. Comes with both sizes of screws, three.5 HD and 2.five HD but brief for typical circumstances. Sticks out the back of the HD tray for my case Ƒ 1Ǟ"). My graphics card is roughly ten" extended and it nonetheless clears, but is close so I moved the drive up higher. This worked fantastic for me in contrast to the first cheap Bay Converter that I bought at a pc store.

Comment:
Effectively constructed metal with perfectly tapped threads for the drive screws. Does the job admirably. Also, I like the reality that it's metal given that it'll act as a heat sink on the drives. None

Uncomplicated and incredibly sturdy. It is about 1ቼ" larger than a normal HDD. This was not a difficulty in my Antec 900 which had a slightly larger mounting space, I could inform it was tighter but it nevertheless match. Nonetheless, I lately upgraded to the Obsidian 800D which is perfectly snug for a regular HDD and just a small to small for this issue. Also, the mounting screw holes are slightly smaller diameter as properly. Most screws will nonetheless operate but if you're mounting this in a tooless style the pegs may well not match. I like the design and I was really dissapointed I can't use it in my Obsidian 800D.

Low-cost and functions. Bought an ssd with totally free shipping, but had to spend shipping anyway to get this. You'd figure considering that they added this in the box with the ssd, they would not charge. Bay converter is fine. The case manufacturer's don't stick with a typical drive bay enclosure.

Did what I wanted it also. Depends exactly where you want it to go but sometimes the fit is kinda awkward.

AffordableComes with all the screws you need to havemetal is about 1mm thick, Durable None to speak of really the screws integrated for securing the converter to the cage have hex+phillips heads that are a tiny to tall for me to slide the bay cage back into the front of the machine.(It's installed in a single of the front-accessible bays of my 8+ yr old Lian-Li case, due to the fact the internal hdd cage puts some pressure on the sata cables and connectors coming off the motherboard. (not a lot thoughts you, just enough that I decided to get rid of that cage)

Comment:
Does specifically what it supposed to. None This is a 'cadillac' version: thick metall, good box, user manual, etc. I guess, the 'generic' version devoid of all that will do just as good getting considerably less expensive.

Fits two 2.five" HDD in 1 three.5" mountIdeal value among related productsExtremely properly-built Does not incorporate mounting screws - Would be incredibly handy, contemplating I utilised 12 of them Ƙ for HDD / four to mount)When employed with 2 hdds, bottom a single barely has sufficient room to accomodate sata cables - no space involving HDD and metal surface. Employed to mount a SSD and 2.5" notebook HDD in a Silverstone Sugo five mini-ITX make. Worked close to perfectly. If this item had a rectangular section cut out exactly where the sata cables connect to the 2.five" drives to permit room for cables, it would be ideal.

First off I have a Antec case that makes use of removable trays for the HDD's so finding the right bracket was challenging! This bracket is bulletproof, all 4 holes on the bottm lined right up with my trays holes and the mounts for my OCZ SSD was spot on as well! Its well worth the บ, not only is it produced of a heavy guage steel and plated to make it additional desirable, it also comes with a bag of screws too! Absolutely none! I would def purchase a different if I need to have 1!!!! This also will mount two SSD's but it looks like they would be too close with each other......when I decide to get one more SSD and run a raid I will buy a different bracket and mount the drives in seperate trays

Comment:
Incredibly cool to the touch, valuable for lower SSD since it acts as a heatsink - other SSD hangs slightly above it with sufficient space for air to flow via What...where?

Comment:
very very good sturdy construction, holds the tough drives nicely, and it fits into my tough drive cage for my CoolerMaster Centurion 541 case. not genuinely a con but a thing to take into account. I necessary to make the mounting holes larger to accept the tool-free of charge rails for the challenging drive cage. As soon as the holes had been made 1ቼ larger the rails fit perfectly. The fit into the cage was also a little snug. The only change i would make to the design would be to leave enough space to flip 1 of the drives, because i identified that possessing the drives that close together had things a little difficult to install the energy and data cables. Besides those few factors. the bay converter is a genuinely great purchase.

Nothing else to say, easy to install, fix perfectly the SSD. Good price.

Functions as expected. Decent high quality. Great cost. It didn't massage my backside?

Comment:
best adaptor for my 120 gb gskill ssd drive,it mounts ideal on my antec 900 two case none

Comment:
It works....what else could any person ask of a converter? Could most likely be half the price...it is just a tiny bit of steel in a plain box after all....
