2.5-Inch to 3.5-Inch Drive Bracket

This yellow metal bracket converts a 2.5-inch SSD or laptop hard drive for installation in a standard 3.5-inch desktop drive bay. The sturdy construction provides stable support and aids heat dissipation to reduce vibration during operation. A complete accessory kit includes an IDE 4-pin to SATA 15-pin power cable and a SATA 3.0 data cable for immediate setup.

Suits DIY Upgrades and Server Builds

The adapter targets enthusiasts upgrading older desktops, building custom workstations, or expanding small server storage with 2.5-inch drives. Buyers who need to install a 3.5-inch drive into a 2.5-inch bay, or who require tool-less mounting mechanisms, should look at a different solution.

SATA 3.0 Data Interface Support

The included data cable adheres to the SATA 3.0 transmission standard to enable high-speed reading and writing for connected solid-state or mechanical drives. Verifying that the host system provides a compatible SATA port and sufficient physical clearance inside the chassis confirms this is the correct part.

Questions about this item

Does the yellow metal bracket include the exact screw-hole pattern for a standard 3.5-inch drive bay?

Yes, the bracket uses the precise mounting-hole layout for a standard 3.5-inch bay so the 2.5-inch SSD or HDD secures with normal case screws.

What is the correct order to connect the IDE 4-pin to SATA 15-pin power cable and the SATA 3.0 data cable during installation?

Mount the drive in the bracket first, attach the SATA data cable to the drive, then plug the IDE 4-pin end into the PSU and the SATA 15-pin end into the drive.

Will the included SATA 3.0 data cable need replacement if I later move the drive to a newer motherboard?

No, the SATA 3.0 cable is backward and forward compatible with all SATA revisions, so it works with future motherboards without replacement.
