But: the infected hard disk to the adapter proved somewhat difficult. the SATA connector is mounted directly on the housing of the adapter - without additional cable extension. the adapter housing has thereby almost exactly the width of a 2.5 "hard drive. on the hard disk, however, is usually a frame mounted to assemble them in the notebook can. the frame struts extend beyond the actual hard disk also, so that they screw in the notebook internal can. precisely these struts collide when you connect the drive to the adapter with the housing of the adapter. Therefore, you have the plug in the adapter a little tilt to hineinzubekommen it into the socket of the hard disk. To avoid this, you would have been the frame of the hard disk also dismantle yet. That means additional work. does not want you. better it would have been if the SATA connectors would not be directly attached to the adapter housing, but in between even a short flexible cable link would be. that would significantly improve the handling.
Conclusion: the actual function of the adapter properly. the design of the adapter is of optimization.
