Drive-bay adapter for 3.5-inch devices

The BYTECC Bracket-525 converts a single 5.25-inch bay so a 3.5-inch drive, card reader or USB hub can be installed. Eight mounting screws are included for a secure fit. Compatible models include U2CR-318/HUB, U2CR-368, U2CR-701, UFH-421, BT-145 and BT-146.

Static mechanical bracket under sustained use

The bracket has no moving parts, fans or electronics, so its behaviour does not change with temperature or time. It simply holds the mounted device in alignment with the bay opening. No thermal throttling, vibration or wear occurs during continuous operation.

Replaces improvised mounting or missing bay hardware

Builders who have a spare 5.25-inch bay but no 3.5-inch bracket can use this adapter instead of makeshift solutions. It is not for cases that lack a 5.25-inch bay entirely, nor for mounting 2.5-inch drives without a separate adapter.

Questions about this item

Does the BYTECC Bracket-525 add any fan noise or heat when a 3.5" drive runs all day in a 5.25" bay?

The bracket is a passive metal tray with no moving parts, so it adds no noise or heat of its own.

What mounting hardware must I already have to install the Bracket-525 in my case?

Eight screws are included for securing the bracket to the 5.25" bay; you only need a Phillips screwdriver.

Will my older IDE, SCSI or SCA 3.5" drives fit properly in this adapter?

Yes, the tray is designed for those legacy 3.5" form factors and aligns with standard 5.25" bay screw holes.
