3.5" to 5.25" Drive Bay Mounting Kit

This kit converts a 3.5 inch hard drive so it fits into a standard 5.25 inch drive bay. It is designed for PC builders and system integrators who need to install 3.5 inch drives in cases that only offer larger external bays. The package contains two complete bracket assemblies for dual-drive installations.

Capacity and headroom: two 3.5" drives in 5.25" bays

Each bracket accepts one 3.5 inch hard drive and occupies a single 5.25 inch bay, so the kit handles two drives in two bays. The 3.6 inch mounting strips position the drive securely within the larger opening. There is no provision for 2.5 inch drives, tool-less mechanisms or hot-swap functionality; the kit simply provides the mechanical adapter for fixed mounting.

Die-cast metal strips

The brackets are formed from 1.00 mm die-cast metal with an anti-rust treatment for durability. Eight mounting screws are supplied to secure the brackets into the case and the drives into the brackets. Universal screw-hole spacing accommodates a variety of computer cases and rack-mounted enclosures without additional hardware.

Questions about this item

Will the 3.5 inch brackets fit alongside my existing 5.25 inch optical drive in the same case?

Each bracket occupies one 5.25 inch bay, so you need a free bay for every 3.5 inch drive you add.

How can I confirm the 3.5 inch drive is securely seated in the 3.6 inch mounting strips?

The drive should sit flush in the die-cast 1.00 mm metal strips with all four screws per bracket tightened and no lateral movement.

Does the pack of two include everything needed to install both brackets, or must I buy extra screws?

The kit supplies two brackets and eight mounting screws, which is the full hardware set for both installations.
