Useful, flexible ssd mounts.
These hold 4, 2.5 ssds. They can be seperated if you only need 2 ssds in your systen. Infinitely stackable. Super handy!

Useful. Could use a few more mounting holes.
I bought the 4 (2.5") into 1 (5.25") drive bay option. I wanted to mount 2 SSDs in my ancient but lovely Coolermaster brushed aluminium tower case.I love the way the SSDs just push into this unit and are clamped down by sturdy plastic U springs - no screwing required.It's all plastic but seems sturdy enough.The only trouble I had was screwing this adapter into the empty 5.25 CD bay. I couldn't. My Coolermaster has aluminium face plates for empty 5.25" CD drive bays. 5.25" wide with 2" legs each side that slip inside and screw into the tower. Those legs are only 1mm or so thick but they made it impossible to push this unit back far enough to make the mounting holes visible through the slots.If the sides of this unit were peppered with holes it'd make fixing it in place more hit than miss. However, it's a damn easy DIY job to drill new holes in situ, which I'll do tomorrow. Remembering to take the SSDs out first, I hope...If you're putting this in an HD bay (no face plate with annoying legs) it'd probably fit fine.This adapter makes it a breeze to add or remove SSDs though, without needing a screwdriver.

I recommend them to anyone who's run out of places to mount their SSD or HDD disks.
A few years ago I repurposed an old Windows PC. Over time it's become the "Triggers's Broom" of my home lab: over the years I've replaced PSU, system boards, CPU,RAM, new HDDs & 2 new cases.I recently added a couple more SSDs and an HDD to the it. Now I don't want to replace the case but needed a better way to store the new drives. Stacking them inside the CD/DVD cage is not really the right thing to do. I saw this and being a cheap skate, seemed the perfect direction to go.I took a bit of a punt grabbing a couple of these. I'm glad I did, they worked exactly as I had hoped and they worked well, really well.Anyone looking for something similar as a solution, I'd fully recommend these.

If you need one, you know you do
Mounts four 2.5 inch drives, SSD's presumably into a 5.25 inch bay, for example when taking up the space a DVD drive may have taken up. Plus side is four fit pretty well and is very efficient use of space. The item can be split in two if needed. It was hard to mount, all disks are fastened in using screws on the outer side only. These need to use countersunk screws that are flush with the edge or the whole thing won't fit. The screws to hold the arrangement into the 5.25 inch bay are designed to tap into the plastic. This is not a bracket that can be routinely moved. Decide where you want it, put it there and leave it. If you only want one or two SSD's I recommend using a metal 2.5 to 3.5 and adding brackets for 3.5 to 5.25. Al together simpler and easier to fit.

Not a quality product
This product does suit the described purpose, but only just.1) You are not supplied with screws of the right size. This makes mounting it onto your case more difficult than it should be. For some reason this thing uses screw threads slightly thinner than standard, so not many PC cases will supply you with enough spares to go in this. (You'll find the standard size thread to be too site, to which you'll just end up wrecking the phillips head.)2) The front flap for the 3.5" bay is badly designed. Either this was an afterthought, or intentional to make you buy another accessory to go in the 3.5" bay. The flap sits indented at around half an inch deep, leaving an ugly looking 3.5" bay empty indentation. The cover also doesn't sit in a locked position, meaning it can bounce upwards. Furthermore if you decided to put a hard disk in this bay without using an additional accessory the built-in holding mechanisms are useless, meaning your disk is only held in place by 2 screws instead of 4. (This makes the disk louder.)3) No thought for the rear cabling. You better connect your cables before you slide this in your case, otherwise you'll discover that you have to have baby fingers in order to get the power and data cables in there.I've always thought of Icy Dock as a quality designer and manufacturer of disk accessories. This product really soured my opinion. Oh well. You don't have much choice anyway as this isn't exactly a mass-market product, but if you can find someone else making a similar thing, I'd recommend you check that out before this. Not worth £12, more like £5 maximum.

Works fine to hold four 2.5" drives, but could be better designed
Using this '4x SSD' adapter to hold four 2TB 2.5" hard drives in a single internal 5.25" bay. Would be nice if it was metal to help dissipate drive heat better, but otherwise it's fine.I deducted a star because: (1) the mounting holes are strangely positioned so I had to remove the 'quick release' drive clamp from my case and screw this in instead; (2) it ended up very close to the front of the 5.25" bay so I had to trim the back of the blanking plate; and (3) the mounting screws are non-standard so if you lose the four it comes with you're, um, screwed.

Handy for those wiishing to increase number of disks in a case
Building a multi-disk file server or multiple O/S in a standard PC case is limited by the number of physical mounting spaces this mount allows one single 5.5" bay to take up to 6 2.5" drives. It is though very fiddly to attach power and data cables and you will probably need at least one power multiplier cable and possibly an IDE SATA card.
