Dual 2.5" to 3.5" SATA Drive Mounting Bracket

The StarTech BRACKET25X2 is a black steel conversion tray that lets you install two 2.5in SATA SSDs or hard drives into a single 3.5in drive bay. It ships with a SATA power Y-cable and two SATA data cables so both drives can be connected immediately. This bracket suits anyone upgrading a desktop that has a spare 3.5in bay but wants the speed or capacity of 2.5in SATA storage.

Desktop builders adding SATA SSDs

The kit fits any desktop chassis with an available 3.5in mounting bay and accepts standard 2.5in SATA drives such as the Samsung 840 EVO or Crucial MX 100 series. It does not suit systems that lack a 3.5in bay or drives that use interfaces other than SATA. Builders needing to mount more than two drives or requiring tool-less installation should look at alternative solutions.

Two-drive capacity in one 3.5in bay

The single specification that decides fit is the dual 2.5in to 3.5in conversion ratio: exactly two SATA drives occupy one standard 3.5in slot. Verify your case has a free 3.5in bay and that both drives use the SATA interface before purchasing.
