2.5" to 3.5" Hard Drive Adapter - For SATA and SAS
SSDs/HDDs
Product ID: 25SATSAS35HD
This 2.5" to 3.5" hard drive adapter lets you install a 2.5" SATA or SAS hard drive (HDD) or solid-state
drive (SSD) into an internal or external 3.5" drive bay, using standard drive-mounting holes.
Convert a 2.5" drive into a 3.5" drive
The 2.5" to 3.5" hard drive bay adapter lets you install a newer, higher performance drive such as an SSD
into a legacy system that may only support a 3.5" hard drive. It provides a cost-efficient way to enhance
storage performance and reliability without expensive upgrades to core IT systems. It's also ideal for
system administrators who want to build a system that takes advantage of the increased performance of
a 2.5" HDD/SSD.
To utilize the full speed potential of your SATA/SAS drive, the adapter supports transfer speeds up to
6Gbps.

Easy and flexible installation
You can install the adapter into a desktop, server, storage-array, hot-swap bay, and drive drawer. It
offers permanent installation in a 3.5" drive bay with standard mounting holes. When the adapter is
installed, you simply slide a 2.5" HDD/SSD into the adapter enclosure, with no tools required.
The adapter is suitable for drives with a height of up to 15 mm. Virtually any 2.5" SATA/SAS drive can be
made to look and function like a 3.5" drive.
Identify and track your drives
The adapter includes a label you can use to track and record information about the installed drive.
The 25SATSAS35HD is backed by a StarTech.com 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.

Special Notes /
Requirements
Note Although mobile racks can enable a Serial Attached SCSI
(SAS) drive to connect using a standard Serial ATA (SATA)
connector, the drive controller must be SAS compatible to
properly support SAS drives. SAS controllers can work with
SAS and SATA drives, but most SAS drives will only work
with a SAS controller.
