Excellent! I was able to used some SSD drives I had using this.

Worked without issue for a Dell R710 with 3.5 drive bays. This adapter converted the drive size from 3.5 to 2.5 .

My application was to install 2.5 inch SSDs into an HP (HPE) ProLiant MicroServer Gen8, which uses the same types of LFF caddies as their bigger siblings. The standard thread size for 3.5 inch HDDs is #6-32, while the standard size for 2.5 inch (Small Form Factor or SFF) is metric M3. Since it's likely we are using the vendor's mounting hardware for the adapter, it would be better if the threads for the part that mounts to the carrier were #6-32, so we could use the vendor's (HPE's) screws to secure the frame. Instead, they are the smaller M3 thread size, and the screws included aren't big enough to secure the bracket in the carrier.I was able to find M3 screws with wider heads to mount the unit in HPE Gen8 carriers, but they're not good enough for a critical data center application because they still fit loose. The screws with wider heads are here: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07VK4KYKL/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1 (uxcell M3x5mm Flat Head Machine Screws, Phillips Cross Screw with 5.5mm head). If I could find screws with a wider head that would be better, but ultimately, #6-32 threads would have allowed me to use HPE's mounting hardware.As I said, I wouldn't trust my setup in a production environment where a customer could come after you when a drive comes unseated or doesn't install perfectly. However, if you have a home server and the only one to get upset is you, then go for it.The other issue is the fact that the SSD is only held by two screws. It would be nice if there was a tab to support the drive on the inside to keep it from wobbling and missing the connector.I understand there are compromises to be made if you don't want to worry about intermediary connectors, but there is room for improvement.

these are a huge lifesaver. they don't just hold the drive, they also provide the correct dimensions for the caddy to slide in without misalignment.

Well constructed. Fits inside 5.25 inch HP drive carrier. Mounting holes match for SSD. Unfortunately..... you have to mount it upside down and then you cannot attach the required cables. [ it was advertised as for a 3.5 inch mount.. no, it fits in a 5.25 inch bay. it is just not usable in my HP. 8-( ]
