Question 1

does it have the Mushkin logo like on the picture?

Accepted Answer

nope, and also I used a Mushkin Cronos SSD and the holes in the bracket did not line up with the drive. I got two holes to work to secure the drive and secured into the pc case, but not very satisfied with the product. I wouldn't buy it again.

Question 2

Does It have a SATA adapter (from laptop to desktop)?

Accepted Answer

It does not include any wiring adapters, but you should not need any for a 2.5 inch laptop HDD or SSD (these have the same electrical connectors as 3.5 inch SATA desktop hard drives). If you need a power adapter to convert from 4-pin "molex" to SATA power connector, this kit does not include that. This includes only the physical adapter and screws that allows a 2.5 inch hard drive to be mounted in a 3.5 inch bay.

Question 3

I AM UPGRADING ALL 6 OF MY COMPUTERS TO SSD DRIVES. AT THIS TIME I AM PURCHASING ANOTHER SAMSUNG MZ-7TE1T0BWR DRIV, I ALREADY PURCHASED 4 OF THE SAME FOR MY NEW SERVER. I NEED TO KNOW IF I CAN USE THIS MUSHKIN MOUNT TO INSTALL THE DRIVE IN MY DELL MODEL DCTR COMPUTER?
THANK YOU

Accepted Answer

It might,  couldn't say for sure.  It did not work with my antec case where the HD caddy used holes in the underside of the drive for mounting.  Side mount rails should work.

Question 4

Does this Mushkin bracket use 6-32 screws for the sides? I got the ByteCC bracket which does not, and that is really annoying.

Accepted Answer

I believe they are 6/32 i.e. standard HD screws on side and the smaller screws in center for the Drive. (The Vantec adapter also does not use proper screws) I have 3 mushkin adapters much better than Vantec

Question 5

Will this work in an all-in-one PC? More specifically, the HP Touchsmart 600-1120. Thanks in advance.

Accepted Answer

I would recommend opening up your computer and checking what kind of space there is, whether you can easily remove the existing drive, and whether it has a slot for an additional drive. These brackets are universal, but some of the all-in-one PC's can be really obstructed by the DVD Drive or other factors. At work I just installed an SSD drive to replace the HDD that came with it - the HDD that came with it was actually so deep in the case and not designed to be removed, so it was too much of a pain to remove and I mounted the SSD to the Mushkin bracket and kind of wedged the Muchkin bracket/ssd in as there wasn't a second hard drive mount. It's fine though - SSD drives don't have spinning disks, so their orientation doesn't really matter the same way that HDD's do.

Question 6

Thermaltake uses a pair of plastic clips to mount this piece in an internal bay.  What may these clips be called and where might I find a pair?
