This guide will walk you through the quick and simple process of assembling a Mac Pro First Generation Hard Drive Sled Adapter. The existing hard drive bay sled brackets in this device are meant to fit 3.5" hard drives, but this adapter enables you to install any SATA 2.5" solid state, hybrid, or standard hard drive. It also correctly aligns the SATA connector to match the socket in your Mac Pro.
