The OWC 2.5" Drive Sled allows you to install any 2.5” hard drive or SSD into your Apple Mac Pro (2009-2010). Using the right drive tray, you can easily install 2.5” drives into any 2009 or later Mac Pro.
With powder coated aluminum and open design, the 2.5" Drive Sled maintains a cool environment by dissipating drive heat. Attractive blue color helps you to easily identify which bay contains 2.5” form factor drives. It provides a hassle free connection between your 2.5” drive and back plane SATA ports on the Mac Pro.
Note! Not for use with Mac Pro models released in 2006, 2007, or 2008.

Comments about OWC / Other World Computing 2.5" Drive Sled:
With inexpensive mounting products, I keep my fingers crossed that no screws are missing, threads are not stripped and holes are drilled properly. This OWC drive sled passes all these tests - nice build and QC. Plus installation takes less than five minutes.

Comments about OWC / Other World Computing 2.5" Drive Sled:
I purchased this to mount my SSD into a MacPro.
Please note that the screws that come with this sled do not fit the OWC SSD 3G drive. The OWC drive has metric threads not American. I contacted OWC about the problem and they sent me a replacement set which also do not fit. I contacted OWC support, again, and they said the screws were correct and that I must not be doing something correctly on my end.
So, not wanting to cross-thread my drive, I took it to the local hardware store and discovered that the correct screw for the OWC drive & this sled is a M3 .50 size. They are a perfect fit.

Comments about OWC / Other World Computing 2.5" Drive Sled:
This is a great product. I didnt know if it would work on my early 2009 Mac Pro, but its PERFECT. It was easy to install and fit perfectly. It felt OEM like it was designed originally for this MAC. Great item and would recommend it to everyone with a Mac Pro.

Comments about OWC / Other World Computing 2.5" Drive Sled:
I'm sure this is a great product but if you have a MacPro from 2008, this will be too long for your machine. Your door won't close. Searching for another size lead me to a completely different design. Something not made specifically for Apple Mac Pros but something made to make a 2.5" drive fit into a 3.5" box.
