Looking for a 3.5" -> 2.5" bracket that uses 6-32 screws to mount. My Lian Li case uses special screws to mount drives in the 3.5" bays, as do several case manufacturers. Since they are made for 3.5" drives, they are always threaded 6-32. After all, all 3.5" HDDs use these screws.
All of the 3.5" -> 2.5" brackets I've looked at use M3 (or some other size) screws. For the life of me I cannot understand why 6-32 screws are not used universally to mount these adapters.
Anyways...
So I am looking for an adapter that uses 6-32 screws, holds one or two 2.5" drives, and positions them close enough to the edge of the adapter to be able to use a right angled SATA cable on at least the bottom drive.
[EDIT]: To clarify, I'm talking about the screws that mount the adapter to the case, not the drives to the adapter.
