Did not work for me
First: could not just slide in the 2.5 drive into the converter, (about 1/2 an inch stuck out the back) in the end I just removed the 8 or 9 screws placed the drive and reassembled the converter.
Second: the mounting holes did match the pins on my Dell’s mount.

Works Well
This is a decent product. I used it to put a 2.5 SSD in my tower workstation. It fit and worked well.

Solid performance, not so solid build.
OK, so I tried to use it internally, but the mount holes don't line up at all (can't move it forward or back in the Lenovo or CoolerMaster case internal positions I tried since they use plastic spacers that fit into the drive holes, which of course, don't line up.
My son's PC is built inside an older case that has a 3.5" floppy slot. This chassis works fine in that slot. It was then that I noticed that the drive holes are spaced just fine for a 3.5" HDD, but slid backwards---aka, if the end of the drive was flush with the case--and why would anyone want their internal drive sticking OUT?
OK, that being said... I popped an SSD in, and then slid the chassis into a Startech trayless 3.5" removable that I have mounted on the front of my tower, so a drive in a drive tray, in a drive tray. Fit just fine (screw holes are irrelevant this way), and works like a drive should, no performance impact on the SSD within, and invisible to the OS since it's just passing SATA through.
As for the build... I like the "open" button and the sliding lock. The plastic is fine for something that doesn't get swapped too often, but doesn't feel that solid. Older trayless drive slots that I use (all Startech BTW...) are solid, and have some metal in the door/latch/housing to provide extra strength/durability. I just don't se that with this adapter. I would buy this to use SSDs in my tower, as removables. But would not recommend if it is going to be in a work environment with people that are hard on the hardware.
So perfect score on actual performance, but not so much on physical build.
I received this product in exchange for an unbiased review.

Cheap but works
The hard drive adaptor has been working well for me but physically very cheap and with limited mounting options, could be better.
The hard drive adaptor comes in a box just barely bigger than 3.5 inch hard drive. It is made of all black plastic and raddles like there are loose parts inside when either empty or with a drive installed. When you put a drive in it, the case makes a very scary 'crack' sound. I still can't get used to the terrible sound of the door closing as it sounds like I just broke the hard drive. The open latch is clearly labeled, but at a glance the sliding lock also looks like a latch and breaks off very easy if you try and pull it. There is a blue LED light on the front that lights when it has power. The light doesn't change or flash for drive activity. The adaptor is the same size as a regular 3.5" hard drive however the screw holes are NOT in the same position so the adaptor cannot be installed where other hard drives can. Screws are included with the adaptor.
The adaptor works well once the drive is in. The adapter works in SATA docking stations and connected directly to my motherboard.
The hard drive adapter works as needed, but is very cheaply made with it raddling and cracking sounds and can't be mounted where 3.5" drive can be. I received this product in exchange for an unbiased review.
