[QUOTE="cowasaki, post: 684866, member: 36098"] If you look at the reply I made to the chap buying the Mac pro on this same forum I have explained that if you fit a 2.5" drive into a 3.5" mount the sockets are in the wrong place! You could fit both of them to the two spare SATA sockets on the mother board and leave the 4 drive bays for normal drives. This would involve making some kind of bracket (I would suggest mechano) However to be perfectly honest I wouldn't bother. You can get a 500Gb drive for £33 (about $65-70) so its not worth it. If the drives are reasonable size I would just buy a couple of external 2.5" drive cases and use the drives as off site backups! [/QUOTE]
