Added a 2.5" SATA - fitted well, easy to install and matched the other metal caging in the PC. Excellent. Review: Good quality bracket, for those times when it matters - There are plenty 2.4-3.5" adapter brackets and I have used many different designs over the years. They all work, they all do the job and by and large it matters not whether you get a cheap plastic one for 99p from a well known auction site or a super-expensive brand name model made of anodised aluminium with a fancy logo. However, there are times when it does matter, and a case in point is upgrading an older iMac's hard drive to SSD. The iMac is built to the 3.5" form factor and assumes everything is _just so_ in terms of size, shape, placement of screws, connectors etc and in this case, a bracket like this one is essential. There will be similar cases in the PC world too. Certain servers, hot-swap caddies etc. If that's the case for you, get this bracket. Otherwise, save yourself the bother and the money and get the cheapest available adapter. ## Features - Adapts any 2.5" SATA SSD or hard drive for use in any 3.5" drive tray - Designed for hot-swap capable drive cages and cases - Can be used anywhere a 3.5" drive is normally used, including computer drive bays and side or bottom mount drive enclosure trays - Effectively conducts and convects away heat to help maintain the long-term reliability of high-performance SSDs and hard drives - Compatible with 3Gb/s and 6Gb/s SATA SSDs and hard disk drives ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00F3QFKNS | | Are Batteries Included | No | | Best Sellers Rank | 18,733 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 3 in Caddies | | Compatible devices | 2.5" SATA SSD Hard Drive, 2.5" SATA Hard Drive | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (3,486) | | Data transfer rate | 6000 Megabytes Per Second | | Date First Available | 11 Sept. 2013 | | Guaranteed software updates until | unknown | | Hard disk form factor | 2.5 Inches | | Item Weight | 120 g | | Item model number | HDD Adapter | | Item weight | 0.12 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | DSLRKIT | | Material | Plastic | | Max number of supported devices | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 14.7 x 10.1 x 1.2 cm; 120 g | | Series | HDD Adapter | | UPC | 700371099893 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** DSLRKIT - **Colour:** Silver - **Hardware interface:** SAS - **Hardware platform:** Universal - **Product dimensions:** 14.7L x 10.1W x 1.2H centimetres ## Images ![2.5" SSD to 3.5" SATA Hard Disk Drive HDD Adapter Caddy Tray CAGE Hot Swap Plug - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/619RKD6aXbL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: will this fit an icy box 3.5" mobile caddy** A: This puts a standard sized 2.5" drive into a 3.5" sizeI have used it in a hot swap 3.5" caddy in a serverit should fit any 2.5" drive into any 3.5" caddy/holderthe SATA connections line up perfectly with where they are meant to be on a 3.5" drive **Q: does this work for replacing the hdd in a late 2009 imac with a new 2.5 inch ssd** A: Yes it does I got it to work in my 2008 Mac Pro **Q: IS this compatible and usable with Mac Pro?** A: Yes. I have a couple of these and they are in a 2007 - 2008 Mac Pro 3.1 & a mid 2010 5.1 Mac Pro. **Q: I have a Samsung 2.5 SSD and want to put this into 3.5 slot in HP Microserver Gen8. Will this caddy do the job? Thanks** A: I am no expert, but as long as your HP has a spare 3.5 slot and usually secures a 3.5 disk then the caddy will work with the usual 4 x little side screws and make sure you have a spare Power and Data Cable Connector for a SATA Device then it should work just fine. I ordered additional SATA Cables which came as a pack of two, one straight end and the other had a 90 degree end which was useful for awkward angles. Good Luck. I must admit since I added a Samsung SSD to my 5 year old HP it is running like a miracle has occurred. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality & universal fit. *by C***D on 19 January 2026* Fitting perfectly into my Dell Optiplex 7020 SFF Plus.

I had to wait for SSD drives to be less expensive before taking the plunge and replacing the HDD with a new Crucial SSD all I needed was a decent 3.5 to 2.5 convertor and this item looked the part. On delivery it didn't disappoint and was a complete doddle to fit into the existing HDD bay with minimum effort on my part. As easy as flicking a light switch. The item is well made and although I didn't need them there was a set of screws for those who have to screw this item into their PC HDD bay. My PC is as fast as lightning now. The item is very well made and worth every penny! ## Frequently Bought Together - DSLRKIT 2.5" SSD to 3.5" SATA Hard Disk Drive HDD Adapter Caddy Tray CAGE Hot Swap Plug - SAMSUNG 870 EVO SATA SSD 500GB 2.5” Internal Solid State Drive, Upgrade PC or Laptop Memory and Storage for IT Pros, Creators, Everyday Users, MZ-77E500B/AM, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/47941821-2-5-ssd-to-3-5-sata-hard-disk-drive](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/47941821-2-5-ssd-to-3-5-sata-hard-disk-drive) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
