## Description

StarTech.com 3.5" to 5.25" Front Bay Mounting Bracket w/ Mounting Screws (BRACKETFDBK) : desertcart.co.uk: Computers & Accessories

Review: Great adapter at great price - Only have a small case so space in case was tight and needed a 3.5' bay for another piece of hardware. Had a 5.25' bay up top free so decided to use this mounting kit to move the HDD to there. The mounts seem well made and come with mounting screws. Some other reviewers stated that they couldn't get access to the screws to mount the HDD but i didn't experience this, i mounted the mounts in the same orientation as they are shown in the photo and used the top long slot cutouts, which are accessed easily through the large cutout holes on the outside. However if you had to use the holes beneath the slot cutouts for whatever reason i can see that access would be more tricky and so this could be a design flaw in some cases. Once adapters mounted to rails the whole unit easily slid into the 5.25' bay and was then secured with the mounting screws that thread into the tapped holes on the outside if the adapters. Don't over tighten these as you run the risk of stripping the thread as it is only fairly thin metal. Overall a great adapter kit at a great price that has done the job perfectly.
Review: Works well - I have a Dell Optiplex 755 which has 2 internal 3.5inch hard drive bays. I bought this adapter bracket to allow me to mount a 3rd hard drive in a vacant 5.25inch bay. The bracket comes with 2 sets of screws. Attach the bracket to the drive using the 4 'HDD size' screws provided. The bracket then provides 4 screw holes in the standard location for an optical (CD, DVD) drive. Use the 4 'CD size' screws provided to fix everything into the optical drive bay. In the case of my Dell, 5.25in drives are located and slid into position using 3 shoulder screws provided with the PC. These fitted to the bracket without problem (I didn't need the screws supplied with the bracket), and the new hard drive clicked into place and is now up and running. No probs whatsoever. Note that you don't need a bezel to cover the front of the drive, as a 3.5in drive is shorter from back to front compared to a 5.25inch drive, and so will sit happily well back from the existing front panel bezel. Hope this helps

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exactly as you expect - it just works, no frills. no modern convenience, but it does work.
*by K***A on 19 September 2025*

did the job perfectly, excellent value. tad fiddly, but we are spoiled with convenience with the pricier options. this does the same thing at about 25% the price.
