People seem to have issues with securing their ssd in the caddy. Does it come with the retaining latch as pictured?

Mine did, but that was back in December/ January. A 2.5" SSD should be no different from a standard 2.5" HDD, form factor wise.

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

sorta, with mine, it disappeared completely, and was nearly impossible to get out, the adapter came with tape on it that apparently was there to help you pull the device out if you needed to take it out. i would recommend the nifty one that costs twice as much if you plan on taking the drive out often, i still use this drive everyday but i never take it out and have locked the drive so i cant accidentally eject it

No it doesn't. It has a tiny (tiny!!!) metal loop to add a thread but it looks like it would be difficult. Plus the size of the entire drive is the size of your thumb nail

I have an SSD in my desktop PC, and I drilled holes in the tray to mount the drive directly to it (the drive mounting tray slides out of mine), however, I realized after swapping drives a few times, and since there are no moving parts like a standard disk drive, it really doesn't need to be mounted at all. Mine is currently just laying in there and has been for a few years with no problems at all.

Mine doesn't. Just has cheap suitcase type lock built into latch. Mine was purchased in 1985 so I don't know if they've improved the case since then.

Yes it does, I just installed a 1 TB Seagate HD in it with no issues, it is a SATA drive.

Yes, it comes with a small plastic housing for a HDD. Nothing fancy, but I'm able to pop mine in and it fits securely. A bit of an added pain to plug in the SATA cable while it's in there, but it works fine.

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.

I just purchased 2 of these and did not receive the caddy. I spoke with Amazon CS and was told Amazon's policy is What You See Is What You Get. So it should come with it, but they chose not to send it, BUYER BEWARE!

Yes, it does. And its really cool the way they do it. Mounts right on the bottom of the case and they supply the screws. I mounted my ssd there and then a 3.5 up in the conventional bays. Was really impressed with this case.

No it does not stay attached. It is a wrench to turn the inserts and lock or unlock them

There is one small piece of foam in it to keep the drive in place, other than that ...no.

Yes. There are 4 tiny screws that hold the guard in place. With these removed it will come off. This is an amazing unit. Does everything as advertised at good USB 3.0 speeds. My only complaint is that it only has 1 hard drive dock.

I constructed my own bracket to secure the oem drive in drive bay 2. The ssd was installed in bay 1 with the existing bracket.

I also mounted my SSD to the bracket. I seem to remember having to really bend the power cable to get it to fit because there's not much room between the bracket and the drive.

No, it requires a little effort. Both sides need to be removed and then one can access the drive. My unit failed out of the box. POS if you ask me.

The unit (circuit board) fits onto the HD SATA connectors but does nothave any other means of retention. It does however stay on quite wellwhen the IDE ribbon and power plug is also connected. I am using the HD in atypical bay mounted with 4 screws in a horizontal attitude. I believe you willbe satisfied just as I am because I had the same concern
