StarTech BRACKET 3.5 Universal HDD Bracket TAA

Maximize internal chassis space by mounting a 3.5 in hard drive into a standard 5.25 in drive bay. StarTech BRACKET is a simple, purpose-built adapter for systems that need to keep mechanical storage in service without adding clutter or compromising airflow. It is a practical choice for workstation upgrades, service parts inventories, and environments where existing drive bays need to do more work. The bracket’s value is in its restraint: no extra electronics, no unnecessary complexity, just a dependable mounting solution that helps preserve usable space inside the case. For IT teams supporting mixed hardware generations, that matters. It lets you standardize around a familiar internal form factor while extending the life of installed storage assets. Use it when a system has an open optical-style bay but needs a 3.5 in HDD installed cleanly and securely. The result is a tidier internal layout, easier service access, and a more efficient use of available enclosure space. For procurement teams, it is the kind of low-cost accessory that solves a specific integration problem without introducing compatibility risk.
