OWC 2.5-Inch Drive Sled Mount for Apple Mac Pro

Planning to go to higher capacity, lower performing SSDs in my 2009 Mac Pro. These are perfect for the job!

First attempt to add a new drive to my Mac Pro. Extraordinarily easy. Once the ssd and drive sled arrived, all I had to do was secure the drive to the sled with the 4 screws provided, insert the sled/drive into the Mac Pro and power it up. Had to format the drive and everything works as it should. Way easier to do than I expected.

I recently got a used 2009 Mac Pro in which some idiot had thrown away the old hard drive WITH the mounting bracket. But the brackets were all for 3 1/2 drives anyhow, and I wanted to put in a SATA SSD as a boot drive. Havent got the drive yet (too busy doing all the other upgrades), but the bracket slotted right into the hole. The blue color definitely stands out. I think I like it.

Quality aluminum bracket on par with original apple drive sleds for 3.5 fit SSD right into old drive slot. of course a 500mb/sec SSD will only get 300mb/sec in the built in slots, but good enough for some purposes where max speed isnt critical.

Excellent fit and quatlity.

Though the price seems a bit much for a simple sled as this, it looks nice, is well built and works as it should in my MacPro 5.1. If I were to replace more drives with SSDs in the future, this is probably the sled I will purchase.

very easy to put a drive in and install. I will buy again!

Worked exactly as expected

I 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.

Exactly what you expect!
