Strengths:
It’s a drive bay adaptor, like it’s supposed to be.
Weaknesses:
Sheet metal gauge, sturdyness.
Cannot connect power to the SSD without using sheet metal shears and changing the adaptor.
Additional Comments:
Overall I am disappointed that this is the only offering memory express has for a SSD drive bay adaptor. They used to offer Silverstone products for the drove bay adaptor and no longer do so. I used to buy the SDP08 model.

Strengths:
- Cheap, light
Weaknesses:
- Not enough holes to fix on a place of a 3.5'' hard drive - impossible to fix in many Antec and other cases
- Wrong thread for screws for 3.5'' drive (see reviews for one drive version http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX42138) - can't be used if a computer case had its own long screws with correct thread
- Impossible to use for bottom mounted drives - holes don't match. The bottom holes on this kit for a fan, not for a 3.5'' hard drive.
Additional Comments:
Now I have to return it back to ME. I don't understand why they try to sell this junk at all. My worst experience in many years with something I have bought from ME.

Strengths:
Designed okay, frame molded to allow screwing in both SSDs with ease despite side frame.
Weaknesses:
Bottom screw holes doesn't align with bottom mount tray.
3 of 4 of the mounting tabs (that stick up) bent in transit, I was able to bend them back but there is a crease. It seems it will hold though.
Additional Comments:
Should have read the reviews first. Ended up copying Chris' twist tie idea for an Antec Sonata 3 500. Otherwise seems okay.

Strengths:
Mounts 2 SSDs in space for 1 3.5" drive
Weaknesses:
Doesn't mount from below. All my drive bays have the newer slide-out style caddy, and while the mounting tray appears to have some holes for the bottom, they don't line up with anything we have in our office.
Additional Comments:
If you've got a case with the old 3.5" bay with side-mounts, this will work great - otherwise I recommend adding a twist-tie or two.
