Dual 2.5" to 3.5" drive bracket

The Nippon Labs HDB-252A converts a single 3.5" drive bay into a mount for two 2.5" hard drives or solid-state drives. It is made from black plastic and uses a screw-less clip-on design for tool-free installation. A carrying handle helps with inserting and removing drives. Side mounting holes provide compatibility with various desktop cases.

Suits tool-free dual-drive upgrades.

This bracket suits builders adding a pair of 2.5" drives to a desktop without using screws or tools. It does not accept 3.5" hard drives, so buyers needing to mount full-size drives should look at a different solution. The plastic construction also means it lacks the rigidity of metal trays for heavy vibration damping.

Holds two 2.5" drives in one 3.5" bay

The single deciding specification is the 2 x 2.5" drive to 3.5" bay conversion ratio. If your build requires fitting two laptop-size drives into a single standard bay, this bracket matches that need exactly.

Questions about this item

Will two 2.5" SSDs fit side-by-side in my existing 3.5" bay?

Yes, the bracket holds two 2.5" drives and mounts into a single 3.5" bay.

How can I confirm the drives are seated correctly after clipping them in?

The clip-on design locks each drive in place; a firm push until you hear the click means they are secured.

Does the HDB-252A include mounting screws or do I need to supply them?

The screw-less design requires no screws for the drives or the bay; the package contains only the plastic bracket.
