The StarTech 2.5" SATA/SAS SSD/HDD to 3.5" SATA HDD Converter (Black) provides a versatile solution for 2.5" drive installations, enabling you to instal a 2.5" SATA/SAS drive in a 3.5" bay, drive drawer caddy/tray, or into a 3.5" drive enclosure. To maximise performance and utilise the full speed potential of your SATA III hard drives, this hard disk drive backplane supports SATA III for transfer speeds up to 6 Gb/s when paired with a compatible controller. This convertor is suitable for drives with a height of up to 15mm, virtually any 2.5" SATA or SAS hard drive can be made to look and function like a 3.5" hard disk drive. It is complete with standard mounting points along the sides and the bottom (including three points along the sides for compatibility with some Dell systems).
The drive convertor features a trayless design for simple drive installation and removal. It is constructed of durable and lightweight plastics, with ventilation openings to aid airflow and help keep hard drives running cooler.
