The StarTech.com 3.5" to 5.25" Front Bay Mounting Bracket (BRACKETFDBK) in black allows you to easily install 3.5" devices such as floppy drives, media card readers, or external USB hubs into a standard 5.25" front bay of your desktop computer. This bracket provides a secure and versatile solution for expanding your PC's front panel capabilities.
Designed for convenience, this mounting bracket comes with a complete mounting screw kit, simplifying the installation process for technicians and IT professionals. Its open-faced bezel ensures a clean look once installed, making it suitable for system builds and upgrades where front bay functionality is needed for 3.5" hardware.
This bracket is TAA compliant and backed by StarTech.com's 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support. It is compatible with standard floppy disk drives, external-facing USB hubs, and media card readers, but note it is NOT compatible with 3.5" Hard Drives.
Versatile Front Bay Expansion
Upgrade your desktop's front panel with the StarTech.com 3.5" to 5.25" Front Bay Mounting Bracket. This black adapter allows you to house essential 3.5" devices like floppy drives, media card readers, or external USB hubs in an unused 5.25" bay. It's perfect for IT professionals building or upgrading systems, providing a clean and secure fit. The included mounting screws simplify installation, ensuring your peripherals are firmly in place.

Who It's For vs. Who Should Skip It
This bracket is ideal for PC builders, technicians, and IT professionals who need to install legacy 3.5" devices like floppy drives or media card readers into a modern 5.25" bay. It's also useful for adding external USB hubs or fan controllers to the front of a PC. However, this bracket is NOT designed for 3.5" Hard Drives or SSDs; if you need to mount a standard 3.5" HDD, look for a dedicated hard drive mounting bracket.
