SSD Upgrade - Icy Dock MB882SP-1S-2B on Mac Pro

Simplest install of a 2.5" to 3.5" converter so that you can mount laptop sized hard drives (most SSDs are this size) into full size hard drive bays on various cases.

SSD Upgrade - Icy Dock MB882SP-1S-2B 2.5" to 3.5" SSD & SATA HDD Converter on Mac Pro

The Mac Pro has a sled system which requires screw holes on non traditional spots that 2.5" drives cannot accommodate. This, coupled with the SATA power and connector mount positions requires a part like this for install into the Mac Pro series.

because what's up France again
sure to show you this new product
picked up I've been on the SSD trip
lately so
I wanted to install a laptop size
SSD into my
Mac Pro on here's the problem with the
Mac Pros
2.5 inch drives for up
orkut show you how the dresses
so for instance
this little guy right here
is what holds the drives on a Mac Pro
a hot-swappable current system
but the issue is your SST
and the only screw holes on the SSD runs
some on the bottom yes hey Frankie
what's up buddy
but you can see they don't match up
which sled
years there place with a city like this
problem is that the connectors go
straight into the motherboard when it
inserts
it spree much got a face like that so
what do you need me to a 2.5 inch 23.5
inch
converter and the converter themself
there's a couple Icy Dock is a company
this is the Fullmetal 2.5 inches 3.5
inch cedar
HD to SSD converter they also have
a less expensive plastic model here
and this is the one right here the
nominees in this system
I to be honest I've never seen an SSD
start cookin hard enough
to require an aluminum housing
for heat sink so from the Tory
an email just open it up here
but lives is open the drive a comes
inside one of these guys are here
and this is kinda what it looks like
that said this is the size of a 3.5 inch
driver
here get building connectors the
and it's got a lid on the top here in a
couple of them works
and its kinda in push
did whole and I'm one of those guys it's
a free to do it very hard summer try to
do it quote-unquote
properly was
thing area up just takes a little bit a
coercion
I just settle a pull up on the top were
here
came Anthony tireless comes off
see inside this is where the smaller
drive or
answer and snappin so for instance
is rated this late in their
nuclear drive in and then just
Nathan in place and you don't even have
to do that snap par
because what school as the design of
this
all right here when you put a lid on it
will actually
this work far drive
when you put the lid so France you
justly the
in there slated
so alleged
and
snap an and
college so maybe this is a self p
the metallization as you gotta kinda
molded
together but let's close and everything
looks like it's in order so that
you know the ends justify the means here
so
I am trying to get this store
you this practice and yes it is gonna
liner
see it's got the special screw holes on
the bottom and but
so I think trust driver
and I'll do this
of like
film myself screwing things
yeah entertain them Frankie
interchangeably
and all I'm doing is I'm screwing in the
four screws here
at the bottom it later
we're just gonna
installed right away and there this yr
now the bracket is on
the drivers in and the Icy Dock
is on top something
right yes analysts cuter in style
fastest hard drive install
ever and I'll which see this
Saran doing don't do that that's upside
down the tantric
that's it
the done one screwdriver required just
for them
homie onto bracket for the pro
of course if you have a screw lists
design on your his ego
and you know already installed
for that it is nonetheless can really
bring it up
in the house ship it's in there and it
works great
the aluminum one is the same thing only
and I think this aluminum one here that
we did not
I did break it out yet on this guy is
thirty dollars mail-order from the way
the silvery
in it is aluminum snap
largely the same design this and there's
from workers well
now her fancy there's a clear button
that says push
when you push it but the
fit the
classic is in there to help you get the
harder it out
so it's a little bit better designed for
price this guy right here is 30 bucks on
newegg
and the classic line is 14 right now
on the way Miller so addresses the new
systems folks
this is the easiest way in a Mac Pro to
get the stress Marinette
alright figures
