Question 1

Will this work to install my crucial ssd in the new HP z620 series?

Accepted Answer

I used it to install a Samsung Evo 840 in a z620 and it worked very well.  The crucial should have the same mounting and should work.

Question 2

Hi - can someone tell me what size screws I need to buy to attach my SSD to this adapter?  And how many? 
TIA, 
Tony

Accepted Answer

I bought several of this item and screws were included - 4 of a size which fits the SSD mounting holes, 4 of a larger size which fit the threaded holes in the sides and bottom of the bracket.This item is available from several different vendors.  It is actually a surplus Hewlett-Packard part, it is very well made, and I presume the fasteners are included no matter which vendor actually sells it to you ... but that is a presumption on my part.

Question 3

Will a Dell PW 2950 with 3.5 inch caddies accept this to create bays for 2.5 inch drives?

Accepted Answer

If you currently have 3.5 inch sata hard drives installed, this will allow you to use a 2.5 inch instead.  Its frame and connector are in position to make a 2.5 inch sata drive look exactly like a 3.5 inch drive for both mounting and interfacing to the electrical connector.  Therefore, if you are removing a bare, standard 3.5 inch hard drive out of something, you can mount your new 2.5 inch hard drive into this bracket, and install the bracket with the new drive into the exact same position the old drive was previously installed.  It has mounting holes and the interface connector in the exact place of a bare 3.5 in hard drive.

Question 4

Hi, I have ordered a CoolerMaster Cosmos II Case that has 2 x 3.5" Hotswap Bays that I want to fit a 2.5" SSD Into. Will these suit?

Accepted Answer

Yes, this adapter is exactly what you need.
