  • Fits 2.5 SATA or SAS drives in a 3.5 bay

2.5″ SATA/SAS mobile rack for 3.5″ bays

This adapter lets you install one 2.5″ SATA or SAS drive into an external 3.5″ bay. It accepts drives from 5 mm to 15 mm thick and supports SATA 6 Gbps or SAS 12 Gbps on a single channel. The full-metal chassis and low-profile design suit industrial PCs, surveillance units and embedded systems.

Upgrade from fixed 3.5″ trays or open brackets

A removable tray with hot-swap support replaces screw-in caddies and speeds up drive changes during maintenance. The dual-lock mechanism — key lock for security and thumb screw for vibration resistance — adds protection that basic trays lack. The jump is worth it when drives must be swapped quickly in rugged or mobile environments.

SATA and SAS single-channel interface limits

The backplane carries one SATA 7-pin data and one 15-pin power connector, each with a locking latch. Bandwidth tops out at SATA 6 Gbps or SAS 12 Gbps, so multi-drive arrays or dual-port SAS redundancy are not possible. The tray fits only one drive, so capacity scales by adding more bays rather than expanding this unit.
