How did you install this? What is the spacer for? My laptop came without a bracket to screw anything in on top of the SSD. I just have the SSD/spacer.

The spacer is used for systems to make the drive a 9.5mm, so the 7mm will fit in the computer more tightly. In most laptops all you would need to do is remove the hard drive and screw the SSD in with the same place the HDD was stored.

Retaining Latch. Its more a small plastic insert to hold the ssd against the connectors before screwing it into place. There are small screws along the side to hold it in better. On an unrelated note its usually better to switch the hdd into the caddy and put the ssd in the main spot, if the main slot is sata3 and the cd drive is sata 2

If you order it, check the model that arrives. Mine didn't have the SSD. I called Amazon and sent it back for one with the SSD. Waiting on the replacement... EDIT - its there, just not user accessible, see below:

No. My package contained a bracket and nothing else. As such, the computer repair company I brought this bracket to could not install my SSD in my late 2009 iMac.

The RAM, no: it's welded to the motherboard. The SSD, yes, but it's an mSata, not a normal Sata.

IIRC, there were some plastic clips about the length of the SSD with pegs that go in the screw holes of the SSD. It should slide in and lock to the 2.5" slots

It was my understanding that this item included an SSD slot...when I received mine it didn't have one so that may be why you are asking this question you may have been deceived like I was....if there is no SSD slot then you need to add something to the USB connection that may provide an SSD slot...sorry

If I remember from when I did mine, there are some screws that attach the SSD to the mounting tray. With HDDs it's a simple snap-in into the mounting tray. I have an SSD in mine, and I remember it being fairly simple.

My SSD came with a migration CD with software which worked flawlessly for me. It transferred from my HDD while in Windows, then automatically set the boot after restart. With many worries about aligning the partition, turning on TRIM, etc. I can say this was one of the most worry free SSD installs I've done.

No, there is no mounting bracket that comes with this kit. It comes with a mounting spacer that may be needed in some notebooks or laptops where the drive bay may be thicker. This ssd is 7mm ideal for ultra notebooks. For a desktop, you will have to purchase a mounting bracket on which the ssd will mount and the bracket can be mounted or slid into the hard drive cage. When you look at the item in amazon, look at the bottom and it will give you links to purchase a bracket also.

No, no adapter included. Kingston makes a nice adapter - has many many screw holes so you have a number of options how to seat it. I've bought probably five of them.

Jack,First, I have 2 of the enclosures and am very happy with them for >1 yr. Includes quiet cooling fan. While I am using 3.5" drives in them I'm fairly confident you could slip in a 2.5" SSD using a 3.5" bracket. In fact, some SSD drives come with a 3.5" bracket as part of the drive kit. I recall installing an SSD in a 3.5" slot on using a bracket in my dad's PC last Spring. So, my answer to your question is to go for it! But be sure to order a bracket as well. Hope this helps! - Mel at nondeficere.com P.S. Be careful when you install a drive in the StarTech enclosure. Don't force anything! Don't pull on anything! Just slide the drive in horizontally until it plugs securely into the drive connector in the housing. Jack,First, I have 2 of the enclosures and am very happy with them for >1 yr.

Ben,The SSD mounts on the bottom base of the case behind the power supply and under 3.5 inch drive bays. there are 4 screw holes that match up with the screw holes on the SSD.

It fits, but I honestly had a really difficult time putting my SSD on this adapter. I can't speak for anyone else's experience though (this didn't come with screws, so I had to use the screws that came with my computer case, so that might be a reason.

I can not answer that question because I did not install the SSD. I brought it to the greek squad at Bestbuy. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

There's a single screw on the bottom of the netbook on the side of the spacebar. Take off the back and the first device closest to the screw you took off is the RAM that's already installed. The slot for extra rame is directly across from it and inserted the opposite way. Hope this helps.

I personally don't know as I haven't tried to add an SSD. It appears that the bottom of the laptop can be opened up by removing a few screws. I assume there would be an open slot for the additional SSD or HD once the bottom cover is removed.
