VANTEC HDA-250M 2.5" to 3.5" Mounting Kit

Pros: It's solid metal.

Cons: The screw holes are NOT STANDARD!

If you have a Lian-Li case with any type of vibration resistant mounting, DO NOT BUY THIS! It WILL NOT screw in, and you WILL NOT be able to mount it to your case.

Other Thoughts: Now I have to pay to ship this piece of junk back... which means I'll lose money because the design is stupid.

Pros: This is a really solid metal drive adapter, which comes with all of the necessary parts needed to attach it to the case. It also works great with right angle cables, and the drive is centered when it's mounted.

Cons: The screw holes on the sides are too small to accept screws that are commonly used to mount 3.5" drives. It comes with screws that fit, but it is a problem if you absolutely need to use screws with a larger diameter. It was not possible for me to put this in a drive bay without modding it because of this.

Other Thoughts: If the design flaw doesn't bother you, then I would highly recommend it.

Pros: Unlike some of the other brackets that are cheap plastic, this one is solid metal that has been coated a black texture. Sure it's overkill for a SSD but I would prefer something that lasts rather than six months from now having to replace it because it broke.

All screws are also included (both to mount the SSD and to mount to your case).

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: It can be a little tight getting things to align properly because of the coating, but not a big issue.

Pros: Solid metal, beautiful finish, every screw hole is properly tapped, feels solid and heavy. It even looks nice.

Cons: None. I can't fault this one bit. I will look for Vantec products in the future.

Other Thoughts: Don't buy a cheap plastic adapter. Get this one.

Pros: Solid construction from seemingly quality materials, all screws included. Great product that would probably work fine in a simpler chassis. After I found out that they didn't fit I took out my frustrations on my cable management, which cleaned up my case a bit.

Cons: Not compatible with Antec Nine Hundred Two. Might be remedied with a power drill and proper set of bits in the near future.

Other Thoughts: REALLY bummed that these don't work with my case; I ordered them while on vacation so I could reassemble my system with some new parts when I got back and was disappointed. Bought two to install two SSDs into my system: one was intended to replace an ICYDOCK SSD adapter that has flimsy external connections that are not compatible with locking SATA connectors, the other was for a drive I was transplanting.

Pros: This item is made of a material that cannot be mistaken fro anything else and is exceptionally sturdy!
It comes with all the necessary mounting screws both for the bracket itself to a 3.5" bay, and for the mounting of an SSD Drive.
All mounting holes are accurately located and drilled.

Cons: I can't see any.

Other Thoughts: This unit only costs about $1.50 more than the average flimsy plastic models that seemingly can't get the holes properly located and has a reputable name in its label.
I am in the PC Repair field and will be ordering more, and this will be my bracket of choice when a bracket is needed.

Pros: It works

Cons: None I can find, that wouldn't be knit picking

Other Thoughts: Nothing really to say about it, other than it makes your 2.5 SSD's and HDD's fit into a 3.5 slot.

Pros: Helped me mount my SSD in the hard drive cage as opposed to tossing it on top of my optical drive.

Cons: The screw holes didn't fit with my mounting screws my case uses for the hard drive cage. I was able to get it to fit with some work though.

Pros: Perfect for my Samsung SSD which I have installed in my home PC case. I like black color it matches with SSD and even has black screws to mount on it, The metal of bracket is really thick and i like openings on the bottom for better air and heat ventilation.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: I like bracket and would buy again

Pros: Very sturdy, many mounting points, good finish on the product, looks good in a black case.

Cons: None
