Dual 2.5″ to 3.5″ drive bracket

The StarTech BRACKET225PT adapter fits two 2.5″ SATA solid-state drives or hard drives into a single 3.5″ bay. It accepts drives from 5 mm to 12.5 mm thick and uses a tool-free design for quick installation. The bracket is intended for desktop builders who need extra storage without sacrificing an additional bay.

SATA I/II/III interface limits

Data transfer speed is bound by the SATA revision supported by the drive and the host controller. The bracket itself adds no protocol overhead but cannot exceed the bandwidth of the slowest link in the chain. Builders using older SATA I ports will see reduced throughput compared with SATA III connections.

Check bay clearance and drive height

Verify that the chassis has a free 3.5″ bay with enough depth for the bracket and both drives. Confirm each 2.5″ drive measures between 5 mm and 12.5 mm in height; thicker drives will not fit. Ensure the motherboard or controller provides two SATA data ports and the power supply has two SATA power connectors.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the single or dual version of this bracket?

The BRACKET225PT is the dual version and holds two 2.5in drives in one 3.5in bay.

What does the tool-less design mean when I fit it in my PC?

You can slide each 2.5in drive into the bracket and secure it without screws, then mount the bracket in the 3.5in bay.

The bracket lists SATA I/II/III — what speed will my drives actually run at?

The bracket passes through the native SATA link so each drive runs at its own rated SATA I, II or III speed.
