Greater than one weekGreat solution to my taped to the frame loose hanging SSD as purchased from previous owner. Blue color is neat, reminds me of R2D2 having alternate color panels.

> 3 dayThe OWC Mount Pro drive sled is a great adapter for a Samsung 850 Evo 1TB SSD and fits perfect in the drive Bay of my Mac Pro 2010.

> 3 dayQuality aluminum bracket on par with original apple drive sleds for 3.5 fit SSD right into old drive slot. of course a 500mb/sec SSD will only get 300mb/sec in the built in slots, but good enough for some purposes where max speed isnt critical.

> 3 dayThis is a simple, elegant solution to mounting a 2.5 drive in Mac Pros. Positioning the drive to plug directly into the ports on the motherboard means fewer connections and far less to go wrong that designs that use an intermediate circuit board.

> 3 dayThis tool was suggested by a friend and I bought it without checking the label which clearly stated for 2009-2012. So my bad.

> 3 dayTwo of the screw mounting holes are as expected, two are partially open, which isnt great. What I do like about this 2.5 disk sled is that its open to the air (much better cooling).

> 3 dayGreat adapter for SSDs. But the price on Amazon is a complete rip. Buy directly from the manufacturer.
OWC Mount Pro 2.5" Drive Sled for 2009-2012 Apple Mac Pro
Add any 2.5" Hard Drive or SSD to your Apple Mac Pro!
While designed with the OWC Mercury brand SSDs in mind, the OWC Mount Pro 2.5 is the easiest way to add ANY 2.5" Hard Disk Drive or Solid State Drive to your Apple Mac Pro (2009-2012 "Nehalem" & "Westmere" models).
The powder-coated aluminum and open design assists in heat dissipation while the blue color not only looks sharp, but allows you to tell at a glance which bays contain 2.5" form factor drives.
Installation is a breeze. Simply attach your 2.5" drive to the bracket using the four included hard drive mounting screws and swap with an existing 3.5" drive tray. The OWC Mount Pro 2.5 perfectly aligns the SATA connection from your 2.5" drive into the back plane SATA ports on the Mac Pro.
