EN-Labs THIN25TO35MA bracket

The EN-Labs THIN25TO35MA is a metal mounting bracket that converts a standard internal 3.5 inch drive bay into a secure slot for a single 2.5 inch HDD or SSD. It allows desktop builders to install laptop sized drives or high speed solid state drives into a PC case without modification. Eight screws are included for quick and easy installation.

Upgrades from empty 3.5 inch bays

This adapter replaces an unused 3.5 inch bay with a functional 2.5 inch mount, making it worth the change when you want to repurpose a notebook drive or add solid state storage without sacrificing a larger bay. It is not for builders who need to install multiple 2.5 inch drives in a single 3.5 inch space or who require tool less drive swapping mechanisms.

Sustained load behaviour

The all metal construction acts as a passive heat sink, helping to dissipate heat from the installed drive during prolonged read or write operations. Secure screw mounting prevents vibration that can degrade performance over time, keeping the drive stable under continuous workloads rather than just brief bursts.
