StarTech BRACKET225PT Dual 2.5″ to 3.5″ Drive Mounting Bracket

StarTech BRACKET225PT Dual 2.5″ to 3.5″ Drive Mounting Bracket

Overview

The BRACKET225PT from StarTech.com is a dual 2.5″ SSD/HDD mounting bracket designed to retrofit two 2.5‑inch solid‑state or hard drives into a single 3.5‑inch drive bay in desktop systems. It is deployed by system integrators, IT technicians, and DIY PC builders needing to repurpose unused 3.5″ bays for modern 2.5″ storage without modifying the chassis or requiring tools.

The bracket accommodates a pair of 2.5″ storage devices with heights from 5 mm to 12.5 mm and secures them into the adapter using a tool‑less installation design with pegs. Once populated, the assembled unit fits into a standard 3.5″ bay and holds the drives securely, enabling desktops and workstations to utilize high‑performance 2.5″ SSDs or HDDs where only larger bays are available.

This device is suitable for multi‑drive desktop builds, storage expansions, and system refurbishments where maximizing use of internal bays is required. It is not an active storage device; it purely provides mechanical support and alignment.

Deployment scenarios include upgrading desktops to faster SSD storage, installing dual drives for capacity/performance mixes, and repurposing older systems with limited 2.5″ mounting points. Avoid use in server chassis lacking standard 3.5″ bays or where thermal airflow around drives may be insufficient.
