Absolutely.  You would think that the majority of them would correctly align the 2.5" drive.  It would only take a few minutes more design time.

Probably not suitable for MF's needs, but I'll throw this in the thread because it took me awhile to find something like this when I was looking.

I'm a geek, a gamer, a dad, a Quic user, and an IT Professional. I have a full rack home lab, size 15 feet, an epic beard and Asperger's. I'm a bit of a Cypherpunk, who believes information wants to be free and the Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it. If you use my Quic signup you can also use the code R570394EKGIZ8 for free setup. Opinions are my own and not the views of my employer.
