Summary

Thanks to @birdmatic for the original print!

SSDs are probably fine, but 2.5" magnetic hard drives have some exposed circuitry on the bottom. I didn't want to risk placing this on my PC case and shorting something.

So I extended the bottom edge of the design so a drive can sit flat and not worry about shorting out (assuming you don't print with some crazy conductive filament!)

You can add rubber feet or something. There's a cutout to make removal of the drive easier.

Works with the Startech SATA to USB adapters like those pictured, and their clones.

Dimensional notes

  1. The exterior of the SATA side of the adapter should be maximum 47mm wide x 11.5mm high in order to fit inside this.
  2. Your 2.5" drive needs to be 7mm high or slimmer in order to fit.

Printing notes

If you print standing up like the STL you shouldn't need any supports (but a brim could be useful).
