As it turned out, converting 2.5″ SSD (or SATA HDD) to to 3.5″ can be a challenge. The good news is there are already some very neat solutions.

My research turned up a converter by ICY DOCK. Their MB882SP-1S-1B did exactly what I needed. It provided a conversion to the standard 3.5″ drive format, was trivial to assemble (no screws required) and had holes for ventilation. Newegg.com was selling it at $22 last time I checked.
