Desktop Computer Review: 2.5 INCH HDD/SSD MOUNTING KIT FOR 3.5 INCH DRIVE BAY OR ENCLOSURE,BARCODE: 08372 Review

Pros
- Holds two drives
- Comes with HDD Screws and bracket mounting screws

Cons
- Not metal, but a hard plastic, similar to what the frame of case fans are made of. The down-side to this is in the next item.
- No threaded screw holes. This isn't really a huge con either, more of a minor inconvenience. Since it's plastic, the bracket mounting screws are coarse thread to bite the plastic material. But in specialty cases like my Antec 900, they use proprietary screws (one thing I didn't like about the case, but that's another review). So I have these very long (1") machine screws for HDD mounting that I now have to force into this plastic designed for coarse thread. In the end it worked fine but DO NOT overtighten, just get them snug-ish. They will strip out very easily using machine screws, but they will hold.
- Plastic doesn't offer any cooling characteristics though it shouldn't be a problem with SSDs. Conventional laptop drives though could benefit however-much from a metal bracket.

Other
- Not reversible (can't mount backwards due to screw positions on the sides. Could be nice to push the SSDs out a bit into the case in some larger case installs.. Not really a con but... You can mount the SSD in backwards, but can't mount the caddy in the case backwards IF you're case has only two standard holes (like the Antec 900). Other cases with more conventional mounting holes will allow for this to be reverse mounted.)
