Q: 2008 Mac Pro drive carriers incompatible with screw layout on new Segate 8TB hard Drive.  Any solutions?

My iTunes library is nearly 4TB and I needed to upgrade the drive to something larger.  I purchased a new 8TB Seagate from B&H.  The two mounting screws closest to the SATA connector lined up perfectly, but the back two screws are displaced about an inch from traditional SATA drives.  Currently I have the drive installed with the two front screws and Kapton tape holding up the rear of the drive.  Is anyone aware of aftermarket drive carriers that are compatible with the new screw layout?  The drive itself works great by the way.

Mac Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)
