2.5 to 3.5 SATA SAS converter

This adapter converts a 2.5in SATA or SAS drive into a 3.5in SATA form factor. It suits builders fitting laptop or enterprise drives into desktop bays. The tray-less design allows direct insertion without extra mounting hardware. Drives up to 15mm in height are supported.

Passive operation no fan

The unit has no fan and draws no auxiliary power. It relies on the host bay airflow for cooling. The plastic enclosure adds minimal thermal resistance. Operation is silent under normal use.

Standard 3.5in mounting points

The converter uses the host 3.5in bay screw holes for secure installation. It connects via a 29 pin SFF-8482 receptacle for data and power. No extra cables or controllers are required. The drive remains removable for quick swaps.

Questions about this item

How do I install a 2.5in SATA or SAS drive into the 25SATSAS35 converter?

Slide the 2.5in drive into the open side until the 29-pin SFF-8482 receptacle engages, then mount the assembly using the standard 3.5in screw holes on the bottom and sides of the black plastic frame.

What maintenance or replacement will the 25SATSAS35 need over time?

The converter has no moving parts or fan; only the drive itself may need replacement, and the plastic frame can be reused indefinitely.

What limit appears first when the 25SATSAS35 runs continuously?

The 15mm height restriction for the 2.5in drive is the physical limit; thermal throttling depends on the host bay airflow since the tray has no fan.
