Drive-bay adapter with fan mount

This EN-Labs adapter fits a 5.25-inch drive bay and accepts either a 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch SATA or SAS drive. It also provides a mounting point for a 12-centimetre cooling fan directly beneath the installed drive. The bracket is moulded from black ABS plastic and ships with eight mounting screws for quick installation.

Single-drive constraint

The tray holds exactly one drive at a time; a 2.5-inch SSD and a 3.5-inch HDD cannot be fitted simultaneously. Builders who need to run both a 2.5-inch and a 3.5-inch device must use two separate adapters or a different bay solution.

Sustained-load cooling

Mounting a 12-centimetre fan underneath the drive creates direct airflow across the drive surface during prolonged read or write sessions. This active cooling helps maintain consistent operating temperatures when the drive is under continuous load rather than brief bursts.

Questions about this item

Does the adapter let me keep using a 3.5" SATA drive and a 12 cm fan together in the same 5.25" bay?

Yes, the bracket is designed to hold one 3.5" drive and one 12 cm fan simultaneously, with the drive above and the fan below.

Which drive interfaces does the bracket accept when converting a 5.25" bay?

It works with any 2.5" or 3.5" IDE, SATA or SAS hard drive or solid-state disk, converting the bay without changing the drive's native connection.

What are the exact outer dimensions of the bracket so I can check clearance in my case?

The bracket measures 145 x 120 x 8 mm, which is approximately 5.71 x 4.72 x 0.31 inches overall.
