Hmm, I can't seem to find it for sale anywhere at the moment (well amazon
has it for an insane $300).  It may have been discontinued.  It was
released about 4 years ago as a follow up to the TJ04 which was around
a number of years.

Well adapters for 3.5 to 2.5" are not expensive, but it certainly is
handy if the case already has mounting spots for SSDs that work.
