2.5" SATA to 3.5" Bay Adapter

This SMUGDESK bracket converts a 2.5 inch SATA SSD or HDD for secure installation in a standard 3.5 inch desktop drive bay. It provides a purely mechanical mounting solution that requires no drivers or additional software. The open-frame design promotes air circulation around the drive to assist with heat dissipation during extended use. Standard screws fasten the drive to the bracket before the assembly is mounted in the chassis.

Desktop PC builders and storage upgraders

The adapter suits anyone adding a laptop-size SATA drive to a desktop case with an available 3.5 inch internal bay. It is not suitable for drives using interfaces other than SATA, nor for cases that only offer 2.5 inch mounting points. Buyers needing to connect the drive will have to supply their own SATA data and power cables separately.

SATA interface requirement

Confirm that your 2.5 inch drive uses a SATA interface before purchasing this bracket. The mounting holes are optimised for mainstream SATA SSD and HDD models to ensure correct alignment. No cables or electronic components are included with the adapter.

Questions about this item

Does the bracket include the SATA data and power cables I need to connect my 2.5 inch drive?

No, the bracket is a purely mechanical mount; you must supply your own SATA data cable and power cable to connect the drive to the motherboard and power supply.

My 2.5 inch SSD has mounting holes on the bottom and on the sides; will the hole layout on this bracket match both patterns?

The bracket has a predrilled hole layout designed to fit most mainstream 2.5 inch SATA SSDs and HDDs, covering the common bottom and side mounting positions.

Will my 2.5 inch SATA drive overheat inside a closed 3.5 inch bay when mounted on this open frame bracket?

The openstyle frame improves air circulation around the drive, helping to dissipate heat and avoid overheating during long operation inside the chassis bay.
