ORICO Adapter 1125SS 2.5" to 3.5" drive bay adapter, black

ORICO Adapter 1125SS is a 2.5" to 3.5" drive bay adapter in black that allows installation of a 2.5-inch SSD or HDD into a standard 3.5-inch desktop drive bay. The adapter combines a metal frame with plastic components to provide a stable mounting platform that aligns with common screw holes in PC cases, NAS enclosures and workstation chassis. It is intended to simplify storage upgrades or replacements by enabling compatibility between different drive form factors without requiring modifications to the host enclosure.

Advantages

The adapter offers a compact conversion solution that preserves drive alignment and ventilation while minimizing vibration. Its mixed metal and plastic construction balances rigidity and lightweight design, and the black finish supports discreet integration into most computer interiors. The unit provides consistent screw hole alignment to standard 3.5" mounting points, making installation straightforward and repeatable.

Suitable for

• Installing 2.5" SATA SSDs or HDDs into desktop 3.5" drive bays
• Upgrading storage in desktop PCs, workstations, and home servers
• Integrating laptop drives into NAS enclosures or external chassis with 3.5" bays
• Temporary or permanent drive mounting during drive testing and data migration

Key specifications

• Form factor conversion: 2.5" drive to 3.5" drive bay
• Material: metal frame with plastic components
• Color: black
• Mounting: aligns with standard 3.5" screw hole pattern
• Supports typical 2.5" SATA SSD and HDD thicknesses

How to use

Place the 2.5" drive into the adapter and align it with the adapter’s screw holes. Secure the drive to the adapter using compatible mounting screws, then insert the assembled adapter into the 3.5" bay of the PC case or enclosure. Fasten the adapter to the bay using the case’s standard screws. Connect SATA data and power cables to the installed drive and verify recognition by the system BIOS or operating system. No modifications to the drive or enclosure are required.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate-length mounting screws to avoid contact with the drive circuitry. When installing in systems with limited airflow, ensure adequate ventilation around the drive to maintain optimal operating temperature. If using in vibration-sensitive environments, verify screws are tightened to prevent movement but avoid over-torquing plastic components.
