| 1395880 | 2015-03-07 03:38:00 | Ok this will be as useless as t1ts on a bull as the tray I have is different to yours :D BUT the 2.5" Tray you have, do'nt the holes line up ( stole your Pic and added arrows) + the ADATA tray I have, the side mounting screws should line up as well. (the centers of the screws are roughly 18mm) If its possible I would change /re-drill / File the Area where the slots are to suit the Tray, -- Are you able to put the 2.5" tray into the cradle and post a Pic of the mis-alignment ? 62656266 |

| 1395881 | 2015-03-07 04:41:00 | Well which way does the cradle conversion go? If the SSD is fully covered up by the cradle I see the holes correctly but need smaller screws due to the Antec design. If the top of the SSD is exposed then the screws are not align. Images. 62676268 | Nomad (952) | ||
| 1395882 | 2015-03-07 05:12:00 | Personally I dont like covering any drive completely, they need air flowing over/around them to cool. Generally I put the exposed circuits facing Down or towards a Tray. Some do fit better one way than the other, for example on the ADATA tray, if you put the drive in one way the SATA/Power Ports over Hang the edge by 5 mm, turn it around and they are flush. Its no big deal as long as the cables are not being pressured /stressed when connected. Seen some with a real force being put on the connections. I think the main cause could be the original Cradle is not really designed to have another reducing cradle inserted as well. First pic, the screws should go in, why would you need shorter ? They are only normally about 3-5mm in length. |
