OWC 2.5-Inch Drive Sled Mount for Apple Mac Pro

> 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 dayI mounted a SanDisk Extreme SSD on this sled and it fit perfectly: securely attached and screw holes aligned exactly. Fit the drive bay of my 2009 Mac Pro nicely: slides in with no binding or snags. The smooth glossy blue paint allows it to slide in more easily than the unfinished OEM sled. The blue paint also makes it easy to distinguish from the other sleds! The OWC 2.5 SATA Tray is well made and designed and does exactly what its supposed to do.

> 3 dayI ordered this for my MacPro 5,1 and am extremely happy with it. I screwed my 2.5 SATA SSD into the adapter plate and it fitted perfectly. Very sturdy and well made with exact fit. At this price its stupid not to use this instead of just hooking the drive up without an adapter.

> 3 dayEasy to install and just a little bit pricey, IMO. After installing it makes closing the side panel latch hard. I think the safety latch slot must not be quite right on this adapter. It closes, but with great effort and it makes me think something is wrong.

Yeah Right
> 3 dayThis is a solid product. It fits just like the factory sleds for hard drives. I bought this to replace another product that was garbage in my opinion.

> 3 dayI picked up a CMP that was missing all its drive sleds. Since I was going to install a 2.5 SSD anyway, the OWC Mount Pro 2.5 was the way to go. The sled works perfectly- if it wasnt anodized OWC blue youd think it was an OEM Apple part. Very satisfied with my purchase. I only bought one, but Im thinking of adding another SSD so Ill probably grab another...
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.
