well all you gotta do is drill some new holes, a rubber band is silly as that will rot in time and the drive could move and.......alexh wrote:You should know that they do not secure modern 2.5" PATA hard drives. The screw holes do not align so you have to hold them in place with something like an elastic band.
Then not sure why you wanted only original ones... an then you mutilate it.Chandler wrote:well all you gotta do is drill some new holes, a rubber band is silly as that will rot in time and the drive could move and.......alexh wrote:You should know that they do not secure modern 2.5" PATA hard drives.

Drill screw holes in the sides of a 2.5" HDD without breaking it? Now who's being silly?Chandler wrote:well all you gotta do is drill some new holes
I just used two holes. Problem solved. Worked in both my Falcons.alexh wrote:I admit that cable-ties are probably better than an elastic band. Whatever you use, make sure you don't cover the HDD exhaust hole(s).
Yes, both my Falcons have accelerators which requires a modified or removed top metal shield. So that's probably why it worked for me.alexh wrote:Interesting. If that would have worked then I would have done that.
Did you have the metal sheild removed?
yep that's another wayDal wrote:I'd drill through the base of the bracket and mount the drive using the screw holes in the base of the drive (rather than mounting the sides).
