Oem For Dell Hard Drive OptiPlex 3040 5040 7040 MT Inspiron Vostro 3600 3650 Bay Caddy HDD 2.5 SSD Bracket X9FV3

Ensure you orient the SDD so your cable connect properly.

Just used it to install a new SSD in my Dell computer. It worked perfectly. It slid right into the rack with no issues. Good plastic quality and workmanship.

This worked perfectly in my Dell Inspiron 3650 desktop. Used it to add a 2.5 inch SSD as the primary drive and put all user data on the slower 1TB HDD that came with it. In case you are going to do something similar you will need a power splitter and a SATA cable. Here are the items I used...Splitter: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B0086OGN9E/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_22SATA Cable: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B009GUXU52/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_24

Perfect fit - just the thing for adapting a 3.5" drive bay to hold a 2.5" drive.

Interesting adapter which you have to bend in order to provide enough space for the smooth, metal "prongs" on the adapter to gently snap into the screw holes on a 2.5" drive.No instructions come with the adapter, so you have to look at your cabling and figure the best way to place your hard drive in the adapter, and then the adapter into the metal drive bay so everything fits properly. The adapter is a nice, snug fit in the drive bay, and that means the drive will be a nice, snug fit as well.Price is a bit higher than I would have hoped, but you get a product that doesn't require any tools and can't come loose.I had to experiment with the correct alignment of parts, so the adapter was bent and the drive inserted and removed 3 times. Everything was fine, but I was careful to bend it "just enough", and I don't know if it could be bent a couple of dozen times without problems.

A little pricey maybe, but I decided to get this one over the less expensive generic one, fearing maybe the generic one wouldn't be an exact fit.

OK, it doesn't say it will work with 5880, manufacturer says in questions it will fit any 2.5" bay. It will not. Engineer here who can't make it fit with a drive or without a drive in a Dell Vostro 5880. Both fail to properly fit into the disk cage. I ended up getting it far enough and cutting the ends off the blue "handles" you'd use to remove it so I could close the case. It is a kludge but will work. Without a disk drive the caddy will slide in further but will not latch into place. Best other review I saw says "shame on dell". I agree. This is crap design likely trying to sell more Dell drive caddies ? or just lazy and they could care less about us a customers. You can make this work but it is not ideal. It is better than leaving the SSD lose and using the cabling to hold it in place. YMMV.

I purchased this hard drive bracket in order to add a 500 GB SSD drive to a Dell OptiPlex 7050 small form factor computer. It installed without any problem and appeared to be identical to the bracket that held the SSD boot drive.
