5.25 inch brackets for 3.5 inch drives

Easy Rhino · Mar 18, 2013

I can't seem to find any decent and cheap metal brackets so I can put a 3.5 inch drives in the 5.25 inch bays. Any help?

Well, a Nexus Double Twin does that job good, and it gets rid of any vibrations.

Don't know of any us retailers tho

I'll see what I can find- 4 sets= 4 drives or 4 brackets= 2 sets= 2 drives?

The phrase I used in the search box was "HDD bracket" in the Computer Hardware > Computer Accessories section, in case you are still looking for other alternatives.
