The adapter comes with the hard drive caddy too?

I just purchased 2 of these and did not receive the caddy. I spoke with Amazon CS and was told Amazon's policy is What You See Is What You Get. So it should come with it, but they chose not to send it, BUYER BEWARE!

I did not get the caddy either, just the connector. I am going to contact seller and see what i can get.

If you can remove the hard drive and it has the pin configuration that fits the adaptor it should work.

No, just make sure that you remove the adapter on the existing drive to use with this one.

The adapter will hold two solid state drives. You must have the ports on your pc to drive two hard drives. Comes with screws to attach two drives.

As I recall, this was a kit. It had a cable, an adapter, data transfer software, and a drive housing so you could hook it up as an external drive.

All ide hard drives ive known have been pins on the drive side and just doing a google for photos I found this quickly http://www.microcenter.com/understand_tech/article/harddrive_install.html showing drives I know. If yours is the female socket at the drive side this one wont work. I think ive seen other adapters thatd work but id have to search for it. Ive just always seen the male pins on the drives themselves. Sorry not much help.

Yes If you are replacing a hard drive just remove the old hard drive and put the new one in the caddy there might be screws you would have to remove and put back in.

It will only work if the adapter is needed to connect the hard drive to the computer port

I was able to use the caddy that was already in the computer. It didn't look like it initially, but it can be separated from the old drive.
