SABRENT 2.5in SSD/HDD to 3.5in Bay Adapter Kit (BK-PCBS)

These were purchased to add 2.5” SATA SSDs to a Jonsbo N3 case, which doesn’t support this size drive in the main cage. The sleds are much higher quality than expected, using what feels like aircraft grade aluminum. The fitment was perfect with the drives and slots for the drive bays. Nothing rattling or loose. Zero flex. Comes with a full set of screws but used the grommetted ones provided with the case to make sliding in the rails easy. Really no complaints about the product at all. Compared with 3D printed ones, these definitely feel more durable and solid, especially if swapping drives is a common thing you will need to do. If you are just going to set it and forget it, then 3D printed will be fine. But, if you have the budget, these are well worth the cost to ensure you have the best way to mount 2.5” drives in the main bay. Recommended

Worked perfectly for my build. It is a quality product. At a good price.

This is the best SSD holder I have ever had. I thought it was plastic but it's metal and has a great feel about it. Fit's like a glove. I enjoyed installing it. If I need another SSD for my enclosure I will order this item again.

This worked GREAT. I am so pleased. I was doing a brand new PC build, my Thermaltake Chasar A41 ATX case has toolless drive bay "inserts" or "slideout" units. STEPS: 1. I first attached my Samsung 2.5" SSD drive onto the connector of this Sabrent template/frame device. (You slide the drive a half inch onto the Sabrent card connector, slight pressure needed, no drama). 2. I snapped the Sabrent template/frame into my Thermaltake drive bay slideout unit and then... 3. I snapped the drive bay slideout unit that now contains the Sabrent template/frame & SSD drive into my ATX case. 4. VOILA! I was ready to cable up in less than 2 minutes start to finish and some of that was just briefly looking things over. I've never had a drive install this easy in the 19 or so years I've been building computers. CAVEAT: Now, half of that ease-of-use depended on the engineering of my particular case design. If you had an older school case, you will probably have to get out the screw driver and deal with screws. Those will tool-less cases will be in heaven. I do like that this Sabrent template/frame presents an interface right to the edge of of a 3.5" format. Cables went on very easy. _________________________________________________________________________________________ *** HIGHLY RECOMMENDED *** if you have a case that supports spaces for 3.5 inch hard drive units and you want to get a 2.5 inch drive installed in that 3.5 inch space quickly and painlessly.

This was a fantastic little adapter! I've used another adapter by OWC when I wanted to replace a 3.5" HDD and use a 2.5" SSD in an iMac; however, the OWC adapter was between $40 and $50. That is significantly more expensive. This adapter is made of metal and it was solid. Every single threaded hole lined up perfectly with the SSD and also where the screws for the larger 3.5" HDD needed to secure. The little plug on both ends appears to just be a simple pass through; a coupler. There doesn't appear to be any circuitry whatsoever to get in the way, just a straight pin-to-pin adapter. When you pick this thing up, you'll be surprised to see that there is a bit of heft, because it looks like plastic in the pictures. It's metal. Point is, I'd buy a dozen of these before I looked anywhere else. Priced right, reliable, worked as advertised, fast shipping. I couldn't ask for more.

Sabrent designed an adapter tray for 2.5 inch internal U.2 SSD drives that has a built-in SATA-III connector on the back. No cables or other interface adapters are required. The kit includes screws for mounting the drive firmly onto the tray, so unlike some others it's not tool-free: you'll need to ensure you have a Phillips head that fits the screws, but almost any computer screwdriver kit will have what you need. The drive slides into Sabrent enclosures smoothly, but because the back of the adapter is so thin you may have to be a little extra careful when shuttingg the bay door to ensure the alignment of the tray's connector with the enclosure's backplane. It doesn't always give the same tactile feeback of a firm connection as a 3.5" HDD does, but nevertheless gives a solid and reliable connection. The price isn't bad, and it does what it needs to do, but the material *feels* cheap even if the U.2 to SATA-III adapter is built in. Sabrent should have included at least a few of these with their larger enclosures, and either used screws with an included Allen Wrench head or spent a little more to give the adapters a tool-free snap-in rather than requiring additional equipment not included. Overall, I'd give it about 4.5 stars, but had to discount a bit because the cost is fair but not exceptional. I then rounded down for the cheap feel and the oddness of needing tools to use these with their tool-free enclosures. Despite all that, it works well, is easy to install, and is recommended especially if you're using a Sabrent SATA-III enclosure designed for 3.5-inch drives and need to add 2.5" drives to it.

Needed to add an SSD to my new Dell. This worked perfectly.

Sabrent 2.5" SSD & SATA Hard Drive to Desktop 3.5" SATA Bay Converter Mounting Kit (BK-PCBS) This review is for both mounting brackets listed on this product page. The BK-PCBS is the sturdy aluminum bracket that retains the same connector position and mounting holes as the original drive. The stamped steel BK-HDDH changes the connector position relative to the original drive, and does not have all the same mounting holes. First the BK-HDDH stamped sheet metal bracket. I bought this mount for my first ssd replacement. I had a large PC desktop tower with plenty of room and plenty of extra cable length. This BRACKET must be mounted by the side mounting holes (in the same place as a 3.5" drive), because it has no bottom mounting holes. It's somewhat flimsy, but ssd's are not heavy, and in fact, bolting the ssd to the bracket, and bolting the bracket into your desktop case rails, will result in a very stable and sturdy mount. The fact that it's stamped sheet metal no longer matters. The only advantage to this bracket, other than cost, is that it has enough mounting holes to accommodate two ssd's. You can mount each ssd by its side holes, or you can use the bottom holes for the bottom drive and the side holes for the top one. But the BK-PCBS is the real hero here. I love this thing! I've bought two of them so far. If you're replacing an existing 3.5" hdd with a 2.5" ssd, and your cables are barely long enough for the existing drive, you want this mounting bracket. It maintains the same overall footprint of your old drive, including the mounting holes, and positions the connectors EXACTLY where they were! It's rock-hard sturdy (machined aluminum, not stamped steel), and it has threaded mounting holes in the exact same places on both the sides AND the bottom as they were on the original 3.5" drive. I bought this bracket to replace the 3.5" hdd with a 2.5" ssd in my new mini-desktop. The BK-HDDH would NOT have worked for this smaller computer case. There was just no extra cable length to accommodate moving the drive to the center of the bay. (Of course I could have purchased the cable extension kit.) But the other consideration was that I needed the bottom mounting holes, because this case had none on the side. I bought a second aluminum bracket to replace the hdd in my external USB drive with an ssd. Again the bottom mounting holes were required for this box, so the stamped steel bracket would not have worked. However, the aluminum BK-PCBS is 0.040" longer than the Western Digital drive it replaced. This is less than 1/16" of an inch, but if your application requires something EXACTLY as long, or shorter than a standard drive, you may have a slight interference problem.

Très bon article, s'adaptant parfaitement à mon PC Acer Aspire XC-830. Cet adaptateur permet de remplacer un disque dur HDD par un disque SSD. Les vis sont fournies en grand nombre et sont utilisables mais il est prudent de conserver les vis d'origine qui sont parfois plus longues que les vis fournies. Il est dommage que cet adaptateur ne permette pas d'utiliser les prises d'origine (alimentation et données) ce qui augmente le nombre de contacts électriques. Le commentaire d'un autre acheteur indique que sur cet adaptateur on peut supprimer l'interface pour brancher directement les prises du PC sur le SSD. Je n'ai pas essayé pour le moment car le système fonctionne avec l'adaptateur complet.

I used mine to fix a new SSD into a 3.5" bay, the SSD is smaller and needs to be held in place. This item used to be called a caddy in the good old days - but things have moved on. This one has a female power and female data connection array at one end. You take the SSD and slide it into that female socket array, then, using the fixing screws, one on each corner, you simply screw the drive onto the tray. Don't overdo the tightness, you're not fixing a shelf in the kitchen! Once you have the drive secured in the tray, you locate a vacant 3.5" bay in your desktop computer case, and fix the tray into it, it is really easy, just align the holes and use the screws provided. The only thing that can go wrong is you could fix it backwards and not be able to access the cable connections. Check that before you fix the screws!. Once in place, the tray has male pins projecting out from one end, to which you just connected your SSD on the other, female, side. Find these pins and then push carefully, the power connector, and the SATA 3 cable, probably you'll need a sata cable with a right hand end on one end, or the cable may sail a bit close to the edge of the case. Once you've done this, connect the other end of the sata 3 cable into one of the free motherboard sata 3 sockets - if you're not sure, follow the data cable from one of your other drives to see where it is connected on the motherboard - the sata sockets on my motherboard are all in a straight row, two in use (the HDD and the Optical Drive - dvd drive) and there were two sockets free. Once you've done that, close up the case and get on with your work! - if you are fitting an optical drive, or another HDD the procedure is the same, though most HDD drives ARE 3.5" so you shouldnt need this tray anyway. Good product, easy to use, and most important, they supply the screws you will need to fix it into your pride and joy computer!
