Two black metal brackets adapt 2.5 drives to 3.5 bays with screws

Thinkstar

Thinkstar 2.5 to 3.5 Hard Drive Adapter 2 Pack

SKU CH-205Z-YDP6K

Two metal brackets convert 2.5" SATA drives to fit 3.5" bays, screws included

  • TypeNo
  • Mount any 2.5" drive in a 3.5" bay
  • Two adapters included for multiple drives
  • Screws supplied for quick, secure installation
  • Metal bracket aligns with drive screw holes
  • SATA I compatible for SSD and HDD use

Two-pack 2.5-to-3.5 drive adapter

This two-pack converts any 2.5" SSD or HDD to fit a standard 3.5" internal bay. It suits builders adding laptop-size drives to desktop chassis or servers. The metal brackets include mounting screws for both the drive and the case. Each bracket accepts drives up to the standard 2.5" form factor.

SATA interface and bay constraints

The adapter passes through the drive's native SATA connection; it does not convert the interface. Performance is limited by the drive and the host controller, not the bracket. The bracket occupies a single 3.5" bay per drive. It cannot be used where only 2.5" bays or M.2 slots are available. No power or data cables are included.

Simple screw-in installation

Align the four holes on the bracket with the drive, secure with the supplied screws, then slide the assembly into the 3.5" bay and fasten. The only common issue is using screws that are too long for the drive's threaded depth, which can damage the PCB. Verify screw length before tightening. No tools beyond a Phillips screwdriver are required.

Questions about this item

Is this a single bracket or a multi-pack?

The listing includes two black metal brackets, each with four screw holes that match the mounting points on a 2.5" drive, plus a screw pack for securing the assembly into a 3.5" bay.

Will a SATA III SSD run at full speed when mounted in this adapter?

The bracket is a passive mechanical spacer; it does not alter the electrical connection, so a SATA III drive will negotiate its native link speed through the motherboard port.

Does the adapter work with the SATA interface used by current drives?

Yes, it is built for SATA I and later revisions, so any standard 2.5" SATA SSD or HDD fits and connects without an extra cable or converter.
