Drive Bay Converter

This refurbished iStarUSA adapter lets you install a 2.5 inch hard drive or SSD into a standard 3.5 inch internal drive bay. It is built with a metal frame and a plastic latch for quick, tool-free mounting in servers and workstations. The unit connects directly to the existing data cable or backplane without signal loss.

2.5 Inch Drive Support

The bracket accepts drives measuring 7 mm, 9.5 mm or 15 mm thick, covering the full range of common laptop and enterprise 2.5 inch form factors. Universal screw-hole placement ensures compatibility with a wide variety of drive models and chassis designs.

Capacity and Headroom

A single converter handles one 2.5 inch drive in one 3.5 inch bay, making it ideal for adding solid-state storage to legacy server bays. It does not support multiple drives per bay, so installations requiring higher density will need additional brackets.
