If the holes would have been threaded, I would have rated 5 stars. It's an adapter so it's primary function is pretty simple. you get self tapping screws that you must use to make the threads in it first then you are good to go. This is a good product but not great. However, the holes on the bracket itself are not threaded. Make sure the screws go in straight or else the threads will be crooked.
You may spend a few minutes trying to figure out which way is up with these guys, but install it as shown in the photo linked to this page, and you'll have no trouble. To mount a 3.5" hard drive in a 5.25" (CD/DVD) bay, this is all you need.and the price is right. The *slots* go against the drive, and your screw driver goes through the large oval holes to tighten them down. Screws are included.If you don't have nimble fingers, you'll probably end up frustrated trying to get them started. Then there are 4 machine screw holes on the outer flange to let you mount everything to your case. It goes without saying that you shouldn't succumb to the temptation to use a magnetic screw driver when installing a hard drive.
Took a couple minutes to figure out, but solid. It took 2 months, 2 service calls and everything switched out (motherboard, processors, power supply and system drive) to figure out we had to pull one of the 2 drives in the spare optical bays. Now I know. My HP xw9400 has 8 ports on the motherboard, but will crash if you plug in more than 5. Tip: make sure you know how many drives your computer will handle.
I can now fit 6 drives into a case designed for 4. 6TB looks great on any system. These brackets were exactly what I needed.
This little metal piece is so convinient, i was having problems on mounting my 8800 GTS on my mid tower case, because it touched my hard drive, so i found this solution and i put the hard drive on the DVD roms bays, totally works., very pleased with product, will buy more.
