OWC Mount Pro for Installing 2.5" Hard Drive or SSD Into Mac Pro Drive Bays

The $24.99 OWC Mount Pro drive sled for the Mac Pro is BY FAR the best mounting solution yet for installing a 2.5" drive into a Mac Pro (e.g. an SSD or laptop drive).

The sled bolts the drive in securely and allows far superior air flow to any other design I’ve seen, including Apple’s own and the (yuck) Icy Dock.

With these sleds, you can install up to 4 SSDs or 2.5" hard drives in the four standard drive bays. The sled allows a direct connect of the drive to the motherboard SATA port, so there is no intermediate wiring, a big plus for reliability.

Up to 5x faster performance than an internal SATA drive!
