Caddy Screw Hole Problem with New Hard Drive

Amazon has several caddies, as does Newegg.com.

But, thing is, you're not building a bridge. If you can get two screw holes to line up the drive will be plenty secure.

when the original screw positions were invented, drives were smaller and with fewer platters. above about 6 TB, there were scattered reports the screen holes were not deep enough, and that you needed to add a washer or shorten the screws.

Moving the screw holes to that new standard location came later, and it leaves space for even more platters.

also, some users have complained these BIG Server drives do not Restart properly. In my opinion, because they do not spin DOWN fast enough to be ready when MacOS is running agin after the Restart.

The solution is to shut down, count to ten, then start up again, and the drive should be ready to go by then.

Yep, all over the place.
