Quick Crucial M4 question

[Sinx2oic]

Can anyone recommend a good way to fit a 2.5 Solid State M4 hard drive in a Mac Pro 4.1. I basically need a sledge. I bought one before and it didn't work so I ended up taping them in. Now I'm selling it I need a proper solution.

I found this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cremax-DOCK...h+to+3.5-Inch+SATA+SSD+/+Hard+Drive+Converter

Thanks

There are a few options in 2.5" -> 3.5" conversion brackets. I'm using 2 of these for my M4 RAID 0 config: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/ADPTADRV/

Cool thanks for the responses, I think I will go with the Icy dock as it's only £15.

Cheers guys

Funny how the exact same thing has a 65% price difference between two vendors - LOL

one of my customers mounted an SSD using the ICY DOCK adapter and afterwards the Mac Pro started to behave very erratic. turned out that the small adapter-board inside the ICY DOCK with the two connectors was the culprit. I particularly like Apple's adapter because the mounted SSD will connect directly to the main logic board's connector.

I have had 4 Icy Docks in my MP for years, without any problems...
