Suggested Installation Steps

Pros: Easy mounting for one or two laptop drives (SSD or regular). Small holes in bottom allow mounting the bracket onto an Antec or other drive tray. Holes on outer sides and the bottom of this bracket line up exactly with holes in sides and bottom of a 3.5-inch hard drive. This means you can mount this bracket into a PC case using either the side holes or the bottom holes, thus allowing the use of a hard drive tray or sled. Some 2.5" to 3.5" brackets don't include bottom holes in the right location for using a tray or sled, so be aware of that when choosing a bracket.
Cons: No drawings or printed instuctions. Be aware when mounting a 2.5" drive in this bracket that you can place it so the connector end of the drive is flush with the end of the bracket or reverse it so the connectors are inset a little ways. This becomes apparent when you hold the drive against the bracket.
Overall Review: Manufacturers of these brackets (and the kits with 2 metal side brackets) must assume that the correct method of use is self-evident because they provide no instructions - not even a drawing or diagram. So, of course I mounted my drives' connectors inset too far on first attempt - duh ! On the other hand, most 2.5"-to-3.5" adapter brackets have no holes in the bottom for mounting the bracket onto the slot-in drive trays used in Antec and other computer cases. This Rosewill bracket does have 4 tiny screw holes in the bottom which are perfect for mounting on an Antec tray. Note these holes in the plastic are slightly small so when you put screws in you will be threading the screws in with firm pressure on the screwdriver.
