19-12-2024Easy 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.

> 3 dayFit perfectly in my mid 2010 Mac Pro. I am using it with a 2.5 solid state hard drive. Just 4 screws and it fit right in my mac. Ive had no problems. I almost like the different color. No more wondering where I installed the other operating system :)

> 3 dayThis is the best tray for 2.5 drives in a Mac Pro, but consider NVMe SSD for more speed instead.

> 3 dayI love my 2010 MAC PRO and refuse to let it die. For me, the new Mac Pro.s, though impressive, are completely out of the ballpark when it comes to ROI. Therefore, I continue to rely on my 2010 MAC Pro for my day-to-day computing needs (Im running Mojave and Windows 10, each on their own drives. Windows is installed raw, w/o Bootcamp). I wanted and needed to upgrade to using SSDs so I bought a couple of OWCs 2.5 inch drive sleds. They work perfectly! Theyre well made and easy to install. I now have 1TB drives running both my OSs. I also like the blue color of the sleds. It makes it easy to differentiate my regular drives from my SSD drives. If youre contemplating upgrading to SSDs in your 2010-2012 Mac Pro, then this is an absolute must have! I highly recommend this product!

Greater than one weekI 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.
