2.5" Drive Bracket for 3.5" Bay

The StarTech BRACKET125PT lets you install one 2.5" SSD or HDD into a single 3.5" drive bay in a desktop PC or server. It accepts drives with a height of 7 mm or 9.5 mm and works with SATA, SAS, IDE and U.2 interfaces. System administrators and integrators can add storage without sourcing extra mounting hardware.

Thermals Noise and Power

The bracket is a passive plastic tray weighing 1.20 oz, so it adds no fan noise and draws no power. Airflow around the mounted drive depends entirely on the case ventilation already present. Because there are no moving parts, the accessory does not change the thermal profile of the system in normal use.

Tool-less Pegs and Guide

Six plastic pegs enable tool-less securing of the drive into the bracket and the bracket into the bay, reducing installation time per unit. A quick-start guide illustrates the peg placement for both 7 mm and 9.5 mm drive heights. No software, cables or additional fasteners are included in the package.

Questions about this item

How do I install a 2.5" drive into the BRACKET125PT without tools?

Slide the SSD or HDD into the plastic bracket until it clicks, then press the assembly into the 3.5" bay; the tool-less pegs lock it in place.

Will I need to replace the plastic pegs if I move the bracket to another bay?

The six included pegs are reusable; keep spares in case one snaps during repeated insertions.

What is the thickest drive the BRACKET125PT can accept before it no longer fits the bay?

It supports drives up to 9.5 mm in height; anything thicker exceeds the .4" maximum drive height and will not seat correctly.
