This guide shows how to install a 2.5-inch hard drive into the aluminum enclosure sold by iFixit. The enclosure can hold either a SSD or a standard 2.5-inch (platter) hard drive, as long as they have the proper SATA connectors.
If you have a silicone enclosure, follow this guide instead.

Use the included screwdriver to remove the two Phillips screws.

Slide the plastic tray out of the aluminum housing.

-
Set the drive in the plastic tray and align the drive ports with the tray socket.
-
Carefully push the drive into the tray socket to seat the ports.
-
Press the drive's raised edge down into the plastic tray.
It is helpful to use something thin like a credit card as a shoe horn here - while the back edge is still raised, insert a thin card between the edge of the drive and the foam block, then push the drive edge down and slip the card out. This will allow the end of the drive to sit flush against the block without any overlap or mashing of the block. It also eliminates the need to keep pressing or forcing the edge of the drive to fit.

Now what do I do?
You will need to plug the enclosure into a computer to access it. From there, you can format the drive or retrieve data.
How do I plug the enclosure into a computer? Are there cables? Thank you.
Very good explanation on "How to do it yourself"
Very good Instructions with clear explanations.
I have removed the two screws to open the case and install the SSD, but it won't slide out. 😡
Works like a charm! The kit included a soft rubber bumper pad, the size and shape of a quarter (US$0.25). No explanation of where it might go -- but I assume it'd be handy if the drive itself was somewhat thin and needed some support within the enclosure.
The drive is successfully installed in the case and connected to my second Mac to grab some old files but I"don't have permission" to open my old documents etc folders. Will the permissions be repaired if I plug it into the Mac it came from? Or how do I make the drive available on other Macs?
