I am using a Samsung SSD 850 EVO 250 GB and is about 6mm thick. When I slot it in there is plenty of space to accommodate 7mm easily. **Q: Is this enclosure covered in both sides? I want to use it as an external hard drive and I don't want only one side covered...** A: Yes, it is closed on both sides. However, it was not meant to be used as an external drive, but it could be used that way. James **Q: Can i use my existing ssd and add a second ssd and the computer will boot normally and see that i have two drives even if i use only one sata port?** A: The 35SAT225S3R supports JBOD - (Just a Bunch of Disks) which will detect both drives independently. The host computer's SATA port must also support Port Multiplier which enables you to access more than one SATA drive from a single SATA connection. Atha, StarTech.com Support **Q: Hi, i need to connect a harddisk dell constellation 2 sas 500gb p/n: 9rz264-150 to a sata port. is it possible with this part...? 1000 thks** A: These shuttles did not work with any SAS drive I tried. They only worked with SATA. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just dowatch the side mounting as not ideal for all PCs *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 22 October 2015* Ideal for putting a 2.5" SSD into a standard 3.5" PC slot. No screws required to hold it in place - slide it into the opening and the act of closing the door then pushes it in (someone has written detailed instructions on this already). Just do watch the side mounting as not ideal for all PCs. Does work great when fitting into a PC that has a backplace with the power and data cables on. Be aware no instructions so again someone has written an excellent review describing how to insert and fit. ### ⭐ Utterly useless. *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 31 May 2014* This is the first StarTech product I've ever had a problem with. It's utterly pointless as the holes on the side are not the standard for a 3.5in Hard Drive so the converter cannot be mounted in any standard drive tray that utilises the side screws. None of the HP workstations or servers I have can take this converter as the zero tool cradles and docks need to either fit into the screw wholes or align with the screw holes to secure them into place. Why would you make a converter that doesn't use the standard screw spacing? It's a nice idea and looks like it would have worked well if I could ever find something it would fit in! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Does what it says *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 11 January 2013* Pretty simple product, worked first time exactly as expected.All the screws aligned with my new case. The only improvement I'd make (which would apply to SATA internal drives in general, is to make the connectors brightly colored so that you can easily see them in the computer case. ## Frequently Bought Together - StarTech.com 2.5in SATA/SAS SSD/HDD to 3.5in SATA Hard Drive Converter - Storage bay adapter - 3.5" to 2.5" - black - 25SATSAS35 - SAMSUNG 870 EVO SATA III SSD 1TB 2.5” Internal Solid State Drive, Upgrade PC or Laptop Memory and Storage for IT Pros, Creators, Everyday Users, MZ-77E1T0B/AM - ORICO 2.5 SSD SATA to 3.5 Hard Drive Adapter Internal Drive Bay Converter Mounting Bracket Caddy Tray for 7 / 9.5 / 12.5mm 2.5 inch HDD / SSD with SATA III Interface(1125SS) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/51190637-startech-com-2-5in-sata-sas-ssd-hdd-to-3](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/51190637-startech-com-2-5in-sata-sas-ssd-hdd-to-3) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-07-07*
