The AXAGON ADSA-FP3 FastPort3 USB 3.0 SATA adapter uses an external 12V power supply and plugs into a bare drive without interfering with its airflow, so it can be used to attach a drive to an SBC like a Raspberri Pi in a semi-permanent setup. However, the adapter can be easily pulled off from the drive by its USB or power cords, which can be catastrophic during writes.
This holder ensures that the adapter is securely attached to the drive. Since I used the mounting holes on the side of the drive to suspend it in a bracket with rubber grommets to reduce noise from vibrations, this holder uses the Torx screws on the top of the drive as attachment points instead.

Installation instructions
Place a piece of double-sided sticky foam tape into the back of the holder.
Design Note: The pocket for the adapter is slightly deeper than the device itself to allow the foam tape to provide a soft, spring-loaded backing. This ensures the drive's connectors push the adapter firmly against the tape for a secure fit.
Modification Tip: If you prefer a rigid backstop without tape, modify the FreeCAD file to reduce the pocket depth by 1mm.
Clean the back of the AXAGON ADSA-FP3 with isopropyl alcohol for better adhesion. Push the adapter fully against the side wall of the holder and firmly against the tape in the back.
Identify the two Torx screws on the top of the drive directly adjacent to the SATA connectors and carefully remove them.
CRITICAL WARNING: Do NOT remove the screws on the bottom holding the PCB.
Do NOT remove any screws covered by plastic seals/stickers; these maintain the drive's hermetic seal and breaking them can destroy the drive.
Slide the holder (with the adapter inside) against the back of the drive to mate the SATA data and power connectors.
Align the holes in the holder with the screw holes on the drive top.
Re-insert the original Torx screws through the 3D-printed holder and tighten them down.
Customization
The holder may fit other similar drives, but check for the positions of the screws first. To mount other USB SATA adapters, you can change the size of the pocket in the attached FreeCAD files.
