Supermicro - MCP-220-00184-0B harddiskindsats

Adapting a 2.5-inch drive to a 3.5-inch bay usually means buying a bulky enclosure or a flimsy plastic bracket. The Supermicro MCP-220-00184-0B takes a different route: a precision-engineered metal tray that preserves airflow, simplifies installation, and keeps your drive securely mounted in any standard 3.5-inch bay. Whether you are upgrading a server, workstation, or desktop, this passive adapter gets the job done without adding unnecessary bulk.

Highlights

• Converts one 2.5" SATA/SAS SSD or HDD to fit a standard 3.5" drive bay
• Open-frame metal construction ensures optimal cooling and long-term durability
• Tool-free drive insertion? No—uses standard screw mounting for a rock-solid hold
• Compatible with Supermicro chassis and any case with standard 3.5" bays
• Black finish blends seamlessly into most server and PC interiors

In daily use

Installing the MCP-220-00184-0B is straightforward: secure your 2.5-inch drive to the tray using the included screws, then mount the tray into the 3.5-inch bay with standard screws. The open frame design allows air to flow around the drive, helping to maintain lower temperatures in dense storage configurations. Because it is a passive adapter, hot-swap capability depends entirely on the host bay—if your chassis supports hot-swap 3.5-inch trays, this converter will work with them; otherwise, it is a fixed mount. The metal construction resists vibration and wear far better than plastic alternatives, making it suitable for 24/7 operation in servers.
