  • Two brackets let you add multiple 2.5-inch drives to a 3.5-inch bay
  • Metal frame secures each SSD or HDD and cuts vibration
  • Hollow cutouts boost airflow to keep drives cooler
  • Pre-drilled holes match standard case and drive mounting points
  • Works in desktop PCs, servers and NAS enclosures

Two-bracket set for 2.5 to 3.5 conversion

This package includes two metal mounting brackets that adapt standard 3.5-inch drive bays for 2.5-inch SSDs and hard disks. The twin pack lets you install multiple drives in a single desktop PC, server or computer case during assembly or upgrade.

Metal frame with ventilation cutouts

A sturdy metal structure holds each drive firmly to reduce vibration during operation. Multiple hollow cutouts promote airflow around the storage device, helping to dissipate heat and maintain stable temperatures under continuous workloads.

Replaces empty 3.5-inch bays with 2.5-inch storage

Use these brackets when you have spare 3.5-inch bays and want to add modern 2.5-inch SATA or NVMe solid-state drives or mechanical hard disks. The upgrade is worthwhile if your case or server chassis lacks dedicated 2.5-inch mounting points.

Questions about this item

How do I install the bracket into my 3.5-inch drive bay, and what step is often missed?

Slide the 2.5-inch drive into the metal tray, align the pre-reserved holes, and secure it with your own screws; the step often missed is that mounting screws are not included and must be sourced separately.

What maintenance or replacement will the bracket need over time?

The sturdy metal frame requires no scheduled maintenance; replacement is only necessary if the tray is physically bent or if you change to a different drive form factor.

What is the first limit I will hit under sustained heavy write loads?

The bracket itself has no thermal or electrical limit; the first bottleneck will be the 2.5-inch SATA drive’s own sustained write speed and temperature threshold.
