3.5" bay bracket for dual 2.5" drives

The iStarUSA RP-HDD2535-RF fits a single internal 3.5" bay and holds two 2.5" SSDs or HDDs. A spring-loaded plastic latch secures the drives without tools. The metal frame has a matte black finish and universal screw holes for broad chassis compatibility. It is a refurbished unit listed by the manufacturer in 2019.

Suits servers needing extra SSD slots in legacy bays

Builders converting older 3.5" bays to solid-state storage will find this bracket a direct fit. It accepts 7 mm and 9.5 mm thick drives and includes two 2.5 mm fillers for the thinner models. Systems that require hot-swap trays, tool-less sleds or front-panel access should look at a different mounting style.

Holds two drives up to 9.5 mm thick

Each bay accommodates a pair of 2.5" devices, doubling the drive count in the same 3.5" opening. The 7 mm fillers keep thinner SSDs firmly seated. No capacity limit is imposed by the bracket itself; the only physical constraint is the 9.5 mm maximum drive height.

Questions about this item

What size internal drive bay must my chassis have free to fit the RP-HDD2535-RF bracket?

The bracket occupies one standard 3.5" internal drive bay in the server or workstation chassis.

Will my existing 7 mm thick 2.5" SSDs sit securely in this bracket?

Yes, two 2.5 mm thick filler shims are included so 7 mm drives fill the 9.5 mm slot height and mount firmly.

How can I confirm both drives are properly seated after installation?

The spring-loaded plastic latch clicks audibly when each drive is fully inserted, and the metal frame holds them flush with the bay opening.
