OWC Hard Drive Bracket for Mac Pro 2009, 2010, 2012

Perfecto para la nueva distribución de orificios en los hdd

good for mac

Bought two of these to install two 10 TB drives in my TrueNAS that runs on a Mac Pro 4,1. I mounted the two HDDs to the sleds and slid them right into my Mac Pro. They work every bit as well as the Apple sleds and they allow for mounting larger drives with the newer mounting hole pattern. Love it!The sleds arrive well-packed in a cardboard box and come with an instruction sheet that I didn't use. As shown in the manufacturer's pictures, each sled has six anti-vibration grommets and comes with four screws. This allows you to mount HDDs with the old mounting pattern as well as the newer mounting pattern by moving two of the screws. I actually prefer the screws on these sleds over the Apple ones as the screws on these sleds can be turned with a regular Philips #0 (or #1) whereas the Apple ones require a precision screwdriver. The surface finish of these sleds is slightly rougher than the finish on the Apple brackets and they also don't have the little (1), (2), ... marks, but, honestly, who cares? :)The price is very reasonable given that we're talking about a quality product that's intended for use in a niche market. If I ever need to add another large drive to my Mac Pro I'll be getting more of these.

These are great if you want to put newer bigger capacity drives in your older Mac Pro. They are just bits of aluminium, though and the price should be lower.

Modern large-capacity HDDs use a different bolt pattern, and this helps solve that issue, while keeping it looking stock in a later Mac Pro. Another great solution from OWC!
