2.5" to 3.5" Drive Bay Adapter

The Vantec HDA-250M is a metal mounting kit that converts a single 3.5" drive bay to accept a 2.5" SATA hard drive or SSD. It supports drive thicknesses of 9.5 mm, 12.5 mm and 15 mm. The tray measures 120 x 102 x 15 mm and includes installation screws for a quick setup.

Suits SATA drive upgrades in desktop cases

This adapter suits builders adding a 2.5" SATA drive to a chassis that only offers 3.5" bays. Universal mounting holes align with most common PC cases. It is not for users needing to install a 3.5" drive, a 5.25" device or a 1.8" drive. Buyers requiring hot-swap capability or tool-less trays should look at other solutions.

Single 3.5" bay converts to one 2.5" slot

The kit provides exactly one 2.5" drive position inside a standard 3.5" bay width. No additional bays or 5.25" conversion are included. The metal construction adds minimal weight at approximately .35 oz. RoHS compliance confirms the materials meet restricted substance standards.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the metal tray for a 2.5" SATA SSD or a 3.5" hard drive?

The tray converts one 2.5" SATA drive to fit a standard 3.5" bay, so select it when you are installing a 2.5" SSD or hard drive into a desktop case.

What does the 15 mm height mean once the kit is installed in my PC?

The bracket is 15 mm thick and accepts drives up to 15 mm tall, so the combined stack stays within the usual 3.5" bay clearance.

Does the SATA interface limit the speed of the drive I mount in this adapter?

The kit is a passive metal bracket with no electronics, so it does not cap SATA transfer rates; the drive runs at its native SATA speed.
