Rosewill 2.5" SSD / HDD Mounting Kit for 3.5" Drive Bay w/60mm Fan (RDRD-11003) $5 +Free Shipping

Newegg.com has Rosewill 2.5" SSD / HDD Mounting Kit for 3.5" Drive Bay with 60mm Fan (RDRD-11003) for $4.99 with free shipping. Thanks cheaptech

scored one, thanks for posting..........

given my limited experiences with newer 2.5" SSD, they do not run hot at all so the fan is overkill. might be good though for 7200rpm drives. plastics 2.5 > 3.5 brackets can be had for $1 on Fleabay, FYI.

Yeah, not sure why an SSD or an HDD would need its own fan.

Maybe if your rig is outside in a blazing desert while you're cooking food right next to it.

Reading from the reviews, this thing is supposed to hold two SSDs. I guess that makes this different from the fleabay ones, if you want to save space.

one of the newegg reviews states:

Cons: Not really a con but the SATA cables that have the elbow design can cause some issues if you mount the SSDS into this mount a certain way. You really only have two options at this point. Mount the SSDS upside down "so to speak" or buy the none elbow style SATA cables.

Does anyone happen to know if the XPS 8500 has these kinds of SATA connectors that will cause a problem? Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the catch. Yes, they do hold two x 2.5 HD/SSD so really useful for RAID0/1 or SPAN of multiple drives. Must take out the fan but maybe reuse it for a near-silent video card. Another plus, the metal will conduct heat better than plastic.

This is now a good deal. Picked up a few.

Good deal. I have a couple 2.5s around from past laptops. Will drop em into my HTPC.

Just what i needed for the hyperx drives.

Ready to try out some raid0

I thought this was what double sided foam tape was for?

Good deal.... Bump

Just bought this the other day for like $10, will Newegg give me a problem if I ask for the difference back?
