Frequently Asked Questions

Will this fit a 2.5 inch SSD and a 3.5 inch hard drive at the same time?

Yes. The AC52535-1S bracket mounts 1x 3.5 inch drive and 1x 2.5 inch drive simultaneously in one 5.25 inch bay.

Does it work with old IDE drives, or is it SATA only?

It is compatible with any 2.5 or 3.5 inch IDE, SATA, or SAS hard drive or solid state disk, so vintage IDE drives mount the same as modern SATA.

What kind of case bay do I need?

You need an available 5.25 inch drive bay of the screw-on type. Toolless clip-rail bays without side screw holes are not supported.

Are the screws included, or do I need my own?

The box includes 16 mounting screws and 4 rubber washers, along with the bracket, a user manual, and a service card.

Does it help with drive noise and heat?

The separating rubber washers provide shock absorption to cut vibration transfer, and the aluminum alloy body aids heat dispersion.
