So the latest WD Black 6TB is still the "correct" mounting hole like you said here?
I tried calling WD support today to confirm but they were absolutely worthless... they said they only know what's on the website and can't find out.

My HDD is the WD Red 6TB. Not black.
And from members report. It seems there are more than one version of WD 6TB. I was purely lucky got the “correct” one. Some one said his WD 6TB Red came with the new mount points.
I found these custom printed 3D sleds for my MacPro1,1 machine (now a hackintosh). Cost me $20 for 4 of them! Hope they pan out.
Unearthing this thread two years later. Is it still the same situation when it comes to larger drives and holes not aligned? Any HD recommendation for video files? I need loooooots of storage space for a documentary.
And for the day OWC no longer sells the Mac Pro 4,1 - 5,1 ( 2009 - 2012 ) Universal HDD Sleds we have from the same designer :
Mac Pro 4,1 and 5,1 Universal 3.5" HDD Sled by hnzxdv
A replacement 3.5" hard drive sled for 2009 and 2010 Mac Pros with mounting holes for both older SATA drive mounting patterns (1.75 in, 44.45 mm) and the newer pattern (3.00 in, 76.20 mm) featured on helium-filled 6, 8, 10+ TB drives, such as the HGST Ultrastar He8.Addressing Common...

OWC also charges around $20 each for their custom HDD aluminum carriers .
Wait ... you made a Hackintosh out of your Mac ? The irony .
I thought the sabrent adapter was nicer than the OWC anyway.
and the 3D print has the problem that the heat is not dissipated

Oh nice, that's a neat solution. And it's available on european Amazon, so even better!
Upon double checking I realized this one is sold as a 2.5" to 3.5" adapter, you're sure it works for 3.5" new screw layout to original 3.5"?
Sorry, I misunderstood.
because I used to use a blue OWC adapter for my SSDs.
and I thought you were looking for a 3.5" to 2.5" adapter
so, this sabrent adapter wont work with 3,5 drives
