How do you install a 2.5" HD in one of the 3.5" drive trays? I've moved the grommets but there is no way the screws will reach my HD.

I bought a 2.5" to 3.5" adapter from Amazon for 8 bucks. "Silverstone Tek 3.5-Inch to 2 X 2.5-Inch Hard Drive HDD SSD Bay Converter, Black (SDP08B)". Works great!

I had to call Antec Technical support to get them to send the mounting screws for the 2.5" SSD's that I installed. I received them in a few days and they worked.

I've already installed it but I believe it's at least 16" but maybe 18". It allowed me plenty of room to remove my HDD tray without stressing anything

Where are the 2.5" drive bays?The 2.5 Drive bays are at the front of the case. If you are facing the case and the power button, usb ports and sound connections are facing you; the hard drives go in horizontally from the right to the left.And can I Install an SSD into the case without a converter? I got a 3.5 drive bay kit to make the SSD fit in the same bays as standard sized hard drives (3.5in) Rosewill 2.5Inch SSD / HDD Plastic Mounting Kit for 3.5Inch Drive Bay Components Other RX-C200P Black

Feel your angst! MINE does fit (barely!). I CAN NOT put cable inside with the drive; I attach it to the WD and zip the case. My decision to purchase was solely to keep the drive clean and protected from scratches. I know: Obsessive!!

I just tried it and it worked fine with my 2.5inch SS laptop HDD. If you notice on the image it has a gap for a 2.5 inch drive (top left). The larger overall footprint swings in to allow for traditional 3.5 inch drive. Does this answer your question?

This harddrive that is in question is a 3.5 inch in size. Your enclosure is a 2.5 inch casing. Will not fit.

Forget about the pins on each side of the piece! There is a connector in the center of the piece witch connects to the 2.5" sata harddrive , use a sata cable to the sata cableconnector which is the connector in the center of the piece/ {Neewer}. the sata harddrive does not connect directly to the piece {Neewer} . You also need a power cable that goes fromthe 2.5 sata harddrive to the power supply. Follow the directions that come with the {Neewer}. I am trying to make it as simple as possable. Hope this helps. The usb will take the nifo from the existing Drive! GOOD LUCK

I think it might be difficult to have two 3.5 drives in this case. I have one 3.5" 3TB Drive and two 2.5" drives. One is the boot SSD and the second is a notebook drive. The 2.5" drives are sitting where the DID would go which I don't have installed.

The Sabrent 3.5" enclosures I have (2) fitted normal 3.5" HDs without a problem. Most likely ADave was shipped the wrong product(wrong model?)...

Contrary to what James and Jerry said, not all SATA drives will fit. Only drives that are thinner (shorter) than 12.7mm tall will fit. You can fit a thicker HDD in the caddy, but the caddy can't fit back into the computer. I tried it with a thicker drive and it simply won't work. Historically, 2.5" drives came as thick as 19mm, and some are still listed on amazon. For example search amazon for Toshiba-213mb.Most current model 2.5" SATA drives are thin enough, but check your specs carefully on the manufacturer's website.

Amazon lists your drive as a 2.5 inch drive which should easily fit the box. My box came with screws to mount the drive in the box but my 3.5 inch drive was a snug fit so I didn't bother with the screws. Anyway shouldn't be a problem.

I also mounted my SSD to the bracket. I seem to remember having to really bend the power cable to get it to fit because there's not much room between the bracket and the drive.

The screws that were with the mount fit the drive (SanDisk Extreme II 120GB SATA 6.0GB/s 2.5-Inch 7mm Height Solid State Drive (SSD) ) perfectly! My guess is that the screws will fit all standard 2.5" drives...

If the drives are the maximum height of the enclosure, you may not need screws, but otherwise you'll need two screws minimum per drive to secure it in the tray, then you can insert them.

I have mine mounted and don't remember the actual size of the screws...but the desk I have it mounted too is less than an inch thick and have had no problems with the tray (love it!!!)
