Convert 2.5" SATA Drives to 3.5" Bays

This metal mounting bracket lets you install a 2.5" SATA SSD or hard drive into a standard 3.5" desktop drive bay. It is built for PC builders and upgraders who want to repurpose laptop or compact drives inside a full-size chassis. The adapter provides a secure physical fit without requiring software or drivers.

Metal Construction with Pre-Drilled Holes

The bracket uses solid metal for stable support and reduced vibration during drive operation. Screw holes are pre-aligned for both 2.5" drives and 3.5" bay mounts, allowing quick installation with ordinary mounting screws. No modification of the case or drive is needed.

Hollow Design Aids Sustained Cooling

An open structural layout promotes natural airflow around the installed drive to assist heat dissipation during long working sessions. This helps maintain operating temperatures for both solid-state and mechanical drives under continuous load. The passive design adds no noise or power draw.

Questions about this item

Will a 2.5 inch SATA SSD work at full speed when mounted in this 3.5 inch bracket?

Yes, the bracket only changes the physical size; the drive connects through its native SATA interface so performance is unchanged.

Does the adapter use the same SATA data and power connectors as a regular 3.5 inch drive?

The bracket has no electronics — your 2.5 inch drive plugs directly into the motherboard and PSU with its own SATA cables.

What screw-hole spacing does the bracket use to fit a standard desktop drive bay?

Pre-drilled holes match the industry-standard 3.5 inch bay pattern and the 2.5 inch drive pattern for a secure fit.
