On another note the top wiring harness will not lock and stay in place.
I also noticed the screws on the drive enclose are coated with blue Locktite.
So to solve the problem I took a very small amount and coated the finger
hooks and now it stays in place and can still be removed if the need arises.

IMHO I would have mention that sometimes the drive enclose won't go in all of the way, .
This is because the screws inside the computer need to be turned up so the drive enclose can slide in.
I hope this little tid bit will help someone else out

My Mac Pro Early 2009- I installed a 2nd hard drive and it was successful-
I however have a setting that I want to change, if u may know- the new HD seems to be mirroring my main drive and I do not want that!
(when i delete something from the main drive, it deletes the copy from the 2nd new drive) How do I make it allow me to delete stuff from my main drive without having the copy of it deleted from the 2nd drive?
By the way it's an internal hard drive Western Digital Caviar black 1 TB
