Mounting this on a 2" metal rod for support and a paper drive mount. How can I fit this to the rod tightly to avoid slippage when operating the drive?

I lay the role next to the pole and extend paper to cover the pole. I then use gorilla duct tape to attach evenly, once attached I move the pole to other side of role and apply tape to underside. I then just roll the paper onto the pole. Hope that helps.

My shelf is about an inch but it's a loose fit. You might need to add tape or something to hold it.

I didn't use any adapters because there are two mounting brackets for 2.5" hard disks. One is on the bottom of the case, and the other is on the back of the motherboard tray. I tried both and settled on the bottom one as it didn't require very long cables.

The official website says that it does fit a 2.5" SATA drive. It also shows the bracket mount. Is the model number wrong here?

I'm sorry I can't help you. I ordered this for my husband and he hasn't put it in yet (it's been months). Perhaps the problem is the lack of mounting instructions?

Amazon lists your drive as a 2.5 inch drive which should easily fit the box. My box came with screws to mount the drive in the box but my 3.5 inch drive was a snug fit so I didn't bother with the screws. Anyway shouldn't be a problem.

No problem when I installed mine. The plug dimension is slightly greater than the rod outer diameter.

I use an external cradle to mount the drive. Since the drive is completely sealed, it's not an issue. I have three cradles that hold five drives and have yet to have any problems.

The unit (circuit board) fits onto the HD SATA connectors but does not have any other means of retention. It does however stay on quite well when the IDE ribbon and power plug is also connected. I am using the HD in a typical bay mounted with 4 screws in a horizontal attitude. I believe you will be satisfied just as I am because I had the same concern

align it even side to side, and push down on the top of the back - it will click into place and hold very tight

I own a WD 2TB 2.5" drive. Very few enclosures can handle it - it is 15mm thick. I use mine with a Drobo Transporter, which easily handles 15mm drives.

I've used the picture hanging hooks also. The disk needs to be placed lower on the back of the plate.

This has not happened with either mount that we have purchased. It may be due to over tightening of the CD inset itself. Make sure it is snug, but do not exert additional force for set-up.

I solved this problem with a 50lb magnet Master Magnetics #07502 Universal Latch MagnetClose the mount to travel position, then find the best place where magnet would grab the steel mounting plate of flat screen, while magnet is attached to base arm. Makes a very strong connection and may require a good pull to dislodge from stored position, you will hear a loud click when the magnet grabs, but is very solid solution.

It'll be tight... thats what I use it for. If you shop around you can find looser holders. Another thing is you wanna use a plastic or carbon fiber holder, as the metal ones will scratch it.

and with a metal bracket to make it fit, in many desktops, not all, look for 2.5" side mounts in newer DT cases. mine has that.
