I have several instances where I wanted to mount a
small drive in a large
drive bay, and a bunch of those adapters that I've gotten from different
sources. In some cases they worked out just fine. In some others, they
were obviously "floppy" adapters and the screw holes were just in the wrong
place to work with any HD I had on hand here...
The obvious cure for that involves a set of twist drill bits :-).
[Before soembody does a very silly thing, I am suggesting drilling extra
holes in the adapter bracket, not the drive...)
