StarTech BRACKET 5.25in to 3.5in Drive Bay Adapter
Overview
The StarTech BRACKET is a metal mounting bracket designed to adapt a standard 3.5-inch internal hard drive or SSD into a 5.25-inch drive bay found in most desktop computer towers and server chassis. This adapter is crucial for system builders or integrators needing to install larger capacity 3.5-inch drives where only 5.25-inch bays are available, ensuring secure physical mounting and proper airflow. The silver finish offers a clean aesthetic within the chassis.
Compatibility
This bracket is specifically designed for 3.5-inch form factor hard drives and SSDs. It fits into any standard 5.25-inch external drive bay. It is compatible with all major desktop and server motherboard form factors including ATX, Micro-ATX, and Mini-ITX, provided the chassis has an available 5.25-inch bay.
Installation Notes
Installation requires basic tools. The bracket includes four #6-32 mounting screws for securing the 3.5-inch drive to the bracket and four M3 mounting screws for securing the bracket itself into the 5.25-inch bay. Ensure the drive is oriented correctly within the bay for optimal cable management and airflow. The bracket's dimensions are 3.5 inches long by 0.9 inches wide, with a height of 1.2 inches.
