Features One SATA slot for a 2.5-inch, 7 or 9.5-millimeter HDD/SSD/SSHD Weight: 80 grams or 0.18 pounds Resources User's guide (8.7 MB) FOOTNOTES [Δ] This HDD adapter requires a caddy tray/bracket to be screwed onto the 2.5-inch storage drive, however if that is not possible, the screws can be used instead of the caddy tray/bracket. This HDD adapter cannot be used in any other model that is not in the 'supported' list, as it has a rectangular plastic tab which prevents it from sliding into the newer models' bays. However, if you were to Dremel it off, it will fit in other models using the same Ultrabay type.
