BYTECC Bracket-525 3.5" Drive/Device Transfer Bracket For 5.25" Drive Bay (Black)

Pros: - The Bytecc 5.25" drive bay converter takes a 3.5" drive and allows it to fit into a 5.25" drive bay. I was able to fit the WD Black HDD in it with two screw mounts, and it held it securely with the provided bag of screws. - There are a couple of screw threads in the sides of the bay, letting the bay to align with most cases' drive bays; however, not all apparently (see cons). - The construction isn't too bad, and it hasn't created any unnecessary vibration in the case or anything of the sort. - Took my 3.5" WD HDD and made it fit into a 5.25" bay; although not without some caveats.

Cons: - I'm warning you that--although you may have no problems and the bay might align perfectly in your case--it didn't in mine (Corsair Carbide 540). I had to screw into the bay and thread my own screw holes for a proper alignment, and even then, the bay wasn't perfectly secure. I don't believe I'm the only one who ran into this problem, considering there aren't a ton of screw threads in the bay's side, as there should be, for we all have different cases and screw alignments.

Overall Review: - Overall, it does the job, and for most people it probably won't require any modification. With that said, it isn't too difficult of course to add another screw hole into it, but it does weaken the frame. I can say that buying this is somewhat of a gamble, in hopes that it aligns properly, but it's understandably difficult for a product to fit into ALL the cases on the market.

Pros: - Serves its purpose. - Cheap.

Cons: - Arrived damaged. - Screw holes not aligned properly. As a result my card is recessed and not flush with the bracket and computer case. - Do not over tighten the screws holding the card to the bracket. Once you feel the slightest resistance, stop. The brackets are extremely delicate and crack very easily.

Overall Review: - Might be a good deal if it arrives undamaged. For me it is not worth to RMA this item. I super glued the damaged part and will have to live with the recessed card. Look somewhere else if you want to be sure your card fits your case correctly. - I definitely do not recommend this bracket to anyone.

Pros: Does the task very well. Everything fits like a glove!

Cons: None

Overall Review: Great way to re-cycle my old stuff in a new case.

Pros: - It is cheap - It works - Snug fit

Cons: - Made of plastic - Cheap contruction

Overall Review: It is made of plastic, and seems like it would break somewhat easily if you overtighten the screws. I knew that it was made of plastic, and only knocked an egg for the cheap construction. I would give it 4.5 eggs if I could.

Pros: It's hard finding cheap brackets. This is that. It worked for me, though keep reading.

Cons: Made of plastic.

Overall Review: Fortunately the holes lined up with where the faceplate was flush with the case. If it were metal I could've drilled some new holes or whatever. With the plastic the way it is, that wouldn't be an option. Again, I lucked out. Keep that in mind. I'll be more thoughtful in planning to buy this in the future, but it does work.

Pros: Does the job, reasonably sturdy, correct dimensions and everything.

Cons: Screws for mounting the bracket in the 5.25" bay are *self-tapping*; the plastic screw wells are unthreaded, and the provided screws are meant to cut into it and "tap" their own threads. Make sure you have a good, full-sized screwdriver, would not be fun with a pocket driver.

Pros: Includes screws to secure your small drive into place in the large bay. I'm not too worried about my internal media card reader slicing around thanks to these. Decent piece of black plastic, nothing more or less, except for the con...

Cons: It's just a hair too short from side to side for my bay (Corsair 300R case), so there's a tiny gap on the left side about half a millimeter wide. A more enterprising fellow might break out the epoxy or mount it in such a way to spread the gap across both sides, but I'm not going to spend that much time on a sub-10 dollar situation.

Overall Review: Does the job decently, doesn't look incredible but looks way better than a drive flopping (get it?) around in that large bay.

Pros: Needed this to place some USB 3.0 ports in the front of my PC. The port bay fit perfectly inside this adapter and it looks like it was made for my PC. The finish is sleek and the bay is very adaptable.

Cons: It felt just a bit cheap, but given the price I suppose this isn't really a valid complaint.
