2.5 to 3.5 Inch SATA Drive Tray Adapter

The SMUGDESK R494D adapter lets you install a 2.5 inch SATA SSD or HDD into a standard 3.5 inch drive bay. It fits supported SFF and MT desktop workstations for storage upgrades. The precision-molded bracket locks the smaller drive firmly in place to reduce vibration during operation. No special tools are needed for the snap-in mounting process.

Suits desktop upgrades and maintenance

This tray suits IT technicians and office users retrofitting older systems with 2.5 inch solid state drives. It works as a direct replacement for broken or missing factory caddies. It is not suitable for builds that require hot-swap capability or tool-less drive carriers. Systems without a standard internal 3.5 inch bay cannot use this adapter.

SATA interface and 2.5 inch drive support

The adapter accepts 2.5 inch SATA SSDs and 2.5 inch SATA hard disks only. It provides a physical and electrical pass-through for the SATA data and power connectors. The durable high-strength plastic housing ensures long-term service life in desktop environments.

Questions about this item

Does the R494D tray include mounting screws or a SATA cable, or must I supply them separately?

The adapter is a plastic bracket only; you will need to provide your own screws for the 2.5inch drive and a standard SATA data and power cable to connect it.

My system has a 3.5inch bay — will the R494D accept any 2.5inch SATA SSD or HDD up to the usual height?

Yes, the caddy fits standard 2.5inch SATA solidstate drives and hard disks, holding them firmly with its locking tabs for vibrationfree operation in the 3.5inch bay.

Once installed, does the adapter affect the SATA transfer speed of my 2.5inch drive?

No, the R494D is a passive mechanical bracket with no electronics, so your 2.5inch SATA SSD or HDD runs at its native SATA speed inside the 3.5inch bay.
