StarTech BRACKET225PT Reviews
I must be using this wrong
My 2.5 SSD drives only line up with the pins with the connectors facing the, what looks like a handle, end. Otherwise the end pieces block the drives from aligning with the pins. If mounted that way the drive ends up recessed in the 3.5 bay and makes managing the connectors difficult. Furthermore my 3.5 bays are designed to use the bottom screw holes on drives where as this carrier is only designed to use the side mounting holes. So no aspect of this bracket worked with my 3.5 bays and 2.5 drives. I used it anyway with the drives not fully engaged with the pins and flopping around in the slot, while I try to find a different adapter. The instructions are silent on the intended orientation or design philosophy.
Didn't work for my desktop
I guess the first thing to understand is that all computers aren't made the same, ergo this isn't going to work/fit on all computers. I'd do more research the next tome. Main issue I have is that it isn't wide enough for the plastic pins they provide to go thru the holes on both sides. Therefore the fact that there are no holes the pins will fit into becomes a non issue due to the size factor.
