SilverStone SST-SDP08 3.5" to 2x 2.5" Bay Converter (Nickel-coated)

Pros: Solidly built, looks great and fits my Antec case like it was made for it. No installation problems at all.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: I've installed this in 3 different new builds and no issues on any of them.

Pros: >It is made of metal, not some brittle plastic mold. >It holds not one, but two SSD. >Slides into your existing 3.5" bay slot as if it were a 3.5" drive itself.

Cons: Zip, Zero, Nada!

Overall Review: I surprised to find out that it held two SSD drives instead of just one. Perhaps, it is possible that I misread the description, as that happens a lot. Humorously, I ordered two. One for each drive. Now, I have a spare solely because I did not read carefully enough. Or, I could just buy two more SSD drives.

Pros: Did not cut me when I was fondling it. Its smooth like a smooth thing (hard drive platters? no, more like a clean smartphone screen). It did not insult any of my other components with its sleekness. Holds both of my SSD's without backtalk or sarcasm. Screws are not to big or not to small or made of uranium 235.

Cons: The top most drive was tricky to mount, although this is NOT a con for this, its a con of my own dexterity and accuracy (like aiming a M98B in BF3). Did not come with a sandwich.

Overall Review: It is cheaper and more convenient than other 2.5 to 3.5 drive adapters as it holds TWO COUNT'EM TWO 2.5 drives. Twilight Sparkle is the most cleverest of ponies.

Pros: Holds two drives securely. Was cheap. Didn't have any problems fitting everything together. Comes with lots of screws, both for the 2.5" drives and the more conventional case screws for mounting it in a 3.5" bay.

Cons: If you mount a drive in the lower half of the two areas available, the circuit board on the underside of the drive will come uncomfortably close to some bare, conductive metal. I put down an insulation layer of packing tape between the bottom drive and adapter, and that's been working fine for a month now.

Overall Review: That little modification I had to made is the only reason I didn't give this five eggs.

Pros: Great adapter, the outer screws on the adapter match exactly the size and placement of a standard drive. This means that this adapter will work perfectly with nearly all mounting methods; tool-less, peg, etc.

Cons: The picture on neweggs site is incorrect. This item has a black finish to it which complements some of the newer chassis perfectly.

Overall Review: Just wanted to post making note of this discrepancy and hope that Newegg will fix it. I own a previous silver version which I did not purchase from Newegg but I will be getting the black ones for a new build in a chassis w/ black interior.

Pros: Solid product, metal dissipates heat better than plastic

Cons: When mounting two 2.5 inch drives using the included screws, the screw heads are a tiny bit too wide so when you go to mount the bottom drive, the screws sit at an angle because of the bottom metal plate. If you put too much pressure on them and try to force them into your drive you can strip the holes on your drive. I had to find 4 other screws with the same thread pattern but smaller heads to mount my bottom drive.

Pros: strong material construction screw holes lined up correctly 2 in one mount

Cons: price is high

Overall Review: price is high for this kind of thing but this is one of the only ones without constant reviews about it not lining up properly

Pros: I have two SSD hardrives, a Agility 2 and Agility 4. I did not have a drive adapter for the second SSD drive and actually had it resting on a piece of cardboard inside my case. I finally grew tired (and maybe worried) about have this sort of setup on a piece of computer hardware so I decided on getting a proper Bay converter. The Silverstone model fits this job perfectly. + Quality. I looked at a few other options but this one seemed the best. This thing has alot of heft to it. Solid. + Holds two SSD in one 3.5" bay. Great for saving space in a computer case. + Simplicity. All screws included. Slid the SSDs in and was easy to install.

Cons: - Right angle Sata 3 cables. You will have trouble mounting two SATA 3 drives that are stacked this close. I was lucky in that I have a older SSD drive that is Sata 2 straight cable, and a SATA 3 that is right angle cable. The bay projected far enough out from the inside of the case that i was able to use a right angle cable on the bottom bay and have it hang neatly off the back. I am not sure you could flip the top SSD upside down and use another right angel cable. May still bump the power cord?

Overall Review: I looked at some other options including a cheap plastic one and ones with USB 3.0 ports along with SSD storage. I settled on this one due to its outstanding rating and quality with price. This is a good value, don't drag out researching SSD storage options. This one is it. Just buy it and get on with more important case components.
