The silver Icy Dock EZConvert Pro 2.5" to 3.5" Converterfrom Icy Dock EZConvert Pro 2.5" to 3.5" Converteris designed specifically to be used with 2.5" SAS/SATA drives that are required to be installed in 3.5" SAS internal hard drive bays of tower and rackmount chassis, as well as with SAS backplanes or hot-swap modules. The dimensions, connection locations, and mounting hole positions of a standard 3.5" SAS or SSD drive are incorporated in its design. The converter utilizes a full metal design, thus creating a suitable environment to cool any SAS HDD or SSD. The construction is suitable for industrial, enterprise, and military related applications.

The converter uses a standardized SAS connection in order to be fully compatible with various SAS backplanes. To accommodate various hard drive heights, it includes Smart-Fit Technology, allowing security of the drive whether it is a thinner 7mm or a thicker 15mm drive. The efficient design of the converter features an effortless installation process without any tools or screws and plenty of ventilation slots to keep any drive used running cool. The top, front, and rear allow airflow, and a special vent at the bottom gives you a visual confirmation that the drive has made a secure connection.

A: Probably, I replaced the HDD in my 2012 iMAC with a SSD using this adapter. But first I mirrored the original HDD drive to the SSD, which you probably can't do.

[0.8 lb] I installed an SSD drive into this converter so I could insert it into a mobile rack. This Icy Dock converter works very well with my SSD drive and I am totally satisfied. 5

[1x 3.5"] Bought this to go with the ICY DOCK MB123SK-1Bs that I own. Easily put a SSD Samsung EVO in this EZConvert, which is solidly built, and slid it into the MB123SK-1B. Everything is working perfectly. 5

[1x 2.5"] A product that works perfectly right out of the box. It comes well packaged with mounting screws for those who need that (not required if you're using it with the old Mac Pro titanium series). Durable materials that doesn't seem flimsy or of poor quality. Open the lid and slot in the SSD drive, close the lid and off you go. When closing the lid you might get the feeling that the drive might not connect the SSD drive properly into the internal socket, but it works fine nonetheless. I bought two for my Mac Pro (2009 model) and I'm very happy with the choice. 5

[0.8 lb] I've upgraded two computers to SSDs with these 2.5-3.5 hard drive docks and they work great. No tools needed to install the 2.5 drive inside - just pops right in and the lid locks it in place. Drives show up in the BIOS with no fuss. Can't ask for much more. 5

[0.8 lb] Used with an samsung evo 850 to mount it to a hotswap server. worked as expected, product doesn't have sharp edges and the metal is nice and thick so no flex. 5
