Bracket Mac Pro Tower

The screw hole configuration on the newer drives is different.

With screw mounting holes for all SATA drives, its the drive sled built for compatibility, flexibility, and ease of use..

Update your trays or use a spare.

NOTE: These are compatible with the two standards of drive mounting and the screws are shorter than the stock tray so they are also compatible with drives with shorter screw hole depths, such as the Western Digital RE and RED.

Bracket Mac Pro Tower

This sled allowed me to install a new mount style 10TB internal HD in my 2012 12-core cheese-grater style Mac Pro tower.

This is the bracket you need for your 2009-12 MacPro to use these drives.

OWC seems to be the only seller of these, and they are high quality.

I most appreciated the fact that each hole on the sled is surrounded by an identical small rubber gasket, just like the ones on the sleds that came with the Mac Pro.

For 6TB or below, its possible to get a standard mount point HDD.

So, this sled is crucial if you want to max out your cMPs storage capacity.

Build with very good quality, Nothing can really go too wrong.

I only give it 4 starts because for this kind of zero technology product, I expect the price can go a little bit lower.

I needed them in order to continue backing up critical data and they arrived inside 4 working days.

Appreciate whoever went to the expense and trouble to design this for 8,7, 5 year old MacPros.

These sleds can be tricky to find, so Im glad MacSales is keeping them in stock.

The rubber grommets around the screws help to reduce vibration and you can damage them if you tighten the screws too much.

It has screws. Unlike the sleds that came with my Mac Pro, the screws are in the right places for modern drives.

My 1 slot already had an SSD sled (also from OWC) so its apparently an insidious plot to take over my Mac, one part at a time.

They all shipped with four, but when you buy a used Mac Pro, seems like half the time its missing one or more of the drive brackets.

Where did they go There is no other use for them than putting them into Mac Pro, so where do they vanish to Are they like those socks that vanish into an alternate dimension leaving you with one striped and one checkered sock on the morning you have an important meeting.

It has an extra set of mounting points, to fit more modern drives where manufacturers decided to shake things up by moving the screw holes.

You cant go wrong with this mount, as long as you actually have a 2009-2012 aluminum tower Mac Pro.

If you have a 2008 or older, OWC has a bracket for you; it just isnt this one.

My older Mac Pro (mid-2010) recognizes the drives with ease, but.
