Description

StarTech 25SAT35HDD 2.5in to 3.5in SATA Drive Adapter

Overview

The StarTech 25SAT35HDD is a drive adapter that allows you to install a 2.5-inch SATA HDD or SSD into a standard 3.5-inch drive bay. This is critical for systems that only accommodate larger form factor drives, such as many rackmount network video recorders (NVRs) or servers, enabling you to utilize smaller, often more power-efficient 2.5-inch drives. The 25SAT35HDD bridges the physical size difference and provides a standard SATA data and power connection, ensuring compatibility with your existing infrastructure.

Compatibility

This adapter is designed for 2.5-inch SATA HDDs and SSDs with a maximum height of 12.5mm. It supports drives up to 1TB in capacity and is compatible with SATA III (6 Gbps) performance, meaning it will not bottleneck modern SSDs. It connects directly to standard 7+15 pin SATA data and power connectors found in most desktop computers, workstations, and NVRs. It is suitable for use in surveillance systems requiring additional storage where only 3.5-inch bays are available.

Installation Notes

The adapter requires a standard 7+15 pin SATA data and power cable connection. It operates within a temperature range of 5°C to 55°C (41°F to 131°F) and requires 5V DC input. The enclosure is constructed from aluminum and plastic for durability and heat dissipation. Ensure the drive height does not exceed 12.5mm for proper fit.
