5.25″ Bay to Five 3.5″ Drives
This cage converts one 5.25″ optical bay into a mount for five 3.5″ hard drives. It slides into the front of a desktop case and uses the standard bay screw pattern for a secure fit. The silver steel frame keeps the drives aligned and protected.
Fits flat or bracketed bays only
The unit works with cases that have a flat CD-ROM opening or a bracket-style 5.25″ slot. Cases with curved bezels, tool-less plastic rails or non-standard bay spacing will not accept the cage without modification. Buyers who need hot-swap trays or a narrower three-drive cage should look elsewhere.
Includes a 12 cm cooling fan
A 12 cm fan mounts on the side of the cage to pull air across all five drives. The fan helps maintain lower operating temperatures during sustained read and write workloads. Verify that your case has enough depth for the cage plus the fan before ordering.

Questions about this item
How many 5.25-inch drive bays does the Batianda cage occupy?
The cage spans roughly three 5.25-inch optical bays, so you need that many contiguous slots free in the front panel.
Which step do builders often miss when mounting the cage in a flat-walled or bracketed optical bay?
Align the cage screw holes with the bay’s threaded holes, then secure every flange before inserting drives; skipping the rear flange lets the unit flex under drive weight.
What ongoing care does the included 12 cm fan require?
Blow dust from the fan blades and intake vents every few months; if the fan becomes noisy or stops spinning, replace it with another 12 cm unit to maintain airflow over the five 3.5-inch drives.
