Worked Perfectly

Sabrent 2.5 Inch to 3.5 Inch Internal Hard Disk Drive Mounting Bracket Kit (BK-HDDF)
Sabrent 2.5 Inch to 3.5 Inch Internal Hard Disk Drive Mounting Bracket Kit (BK-HDDF)

Pros: Samsung 870 EVO SSD's fit perfectly. Exactly the right screws to hold SSD's in tray Sturdy metal tray Fit my case perfectly

Cons: A little awkward to get screws positioned

Overall Review: Used this to mount 2 Samsung 870 EVO SSD's in my computer. This tray fit perfectly in my Fractal Design R4 case. The enclosed screws fit the Samsung SSD's to hold them in the tray. It was a little awkward to get the screws in the right position to install them, but the tray is well designed to facilitate this. The metal tray is sturdy. I am very pleased with this purchase, would buy it again if I needed one, and would certainly recommend this adapter tray.

Pros: Works perfectly Physical installation very easy

Cons: None

Overall Review: I've built several computers over the years and added memory to them previously, so I expected the installation of this memory to also be a simple process. In this case, I was using this purchase to increase the memory from 8 GB to 16 GB. When I first installed the new memory, the computer refused to boot. When the new memory was removed, the computer booted normally. Long story short, based on a Google search, resetting the CMOS was necessary to allow the motherboard to properly access the new memory. Once that was done, the new memory was recognized by the system and worked perfectly. While there were many false starts in this process, those were due to the nature of the Gigabyte motherboard (and the fault of the computer operator) and not the memory. Knowing this ahead of time would have saved me some headaches, so I hope that this information helps others. Newegg was outstanding in helping resolve a glitch in the ordering process, and by exceeding my expectations on delivery time. Thanks, Newegg!!
