You'll have to check the pictures because it's been too long for me to remember, but I believe the adaptor has mounting holes (for the screws) on both the top and side.

It took about 15 minutes to complete the task. br>br>I installed my new 5K display (with the help of some iFixit tools and adhesive) and was back in business in no time. br>br>The iMac is running smoothly. I highly recommend this adapter product!.

When using a 2, you'll definitely need this adapter. An iMac has a total of five drives. The adapter shifts the drive connectors to line up with the iMac's short cables. This product is extremely easy to use. The item makes it simple to put the 2 together. The iMac has a 5 inch hard drive. Otherwise, you'll waste a lot of time and money on an installation that isn't very reliable.

I'm not a computer expert, but the NewerTech AdaptaDrive 2 allowed me to replace the hard drive in my Dell Inspiron with a new Samsung SSD. 5" to 3. Apricorn SATA Wire Notebook Hard Drive Upgrade Kit with USB 3. 0, a 5" Drive Converter Bracket, and a 5" Drive Converter Bracket ASW- ASW- ASW- ASW- ASW- ASW- A USB3- The Apricorn software failed to function - I tried twice and both times it completed the task without errors - However, I was unsuccessful. I was, however, able to use the Apricorn USB 3. 0. 0 to SATA cable and the Samsung Migration Software (free online download) to seamlessly transfer all of my files from my desktop to the SSD. Installed the SSD in the Dell computer and powered it up; everything was the same, including the hard drive data, favorite websites, Windows, and so on. - It's a lot easier to reboot, etc. when you've got the right tools.
