Review: Looks good, does what it is supposed to. - I ordered the Syba 5.25-Inch Bay Adapter for Slim Optical Drive and 2.5-Inch SATA III HDD/SDD with 2 USB 3.0 Ports SY-MRA55005 for use in a desktop with the blu-ray drive from an older laptop. I'm giving it 4.5 stars because it does everything it is supposed to and looks good, but it does not come with everything you need to connect a slim drive to a desktop PC. To adapt from slim to normal SATA and power you will need this: StarTech.com Slimline SATA to SATA Adapter with Power(SLSATAADAP) http://www.desertcart.com/gp/product/B002O1W6ZK/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Also, if you are pulling an optical drive from a laptop computer to use with this bay adapter you may need to grab a new bezel/face plate for your drive, the one originally on my drive was designed to fit the laptop and was too big for the bay adapter. You can get a replacement bezel here: http://www.desertcart.com/gp/product/B00E2WCQU4/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 After connecting the two USB 3.0 slots to my motherboard they both worked with the flash drive I used to test them, unfortunately I do not have any actual USB 3.0 devices to test them with at this time, but there is nothing to indicate any problems with them. If you don't have a USB 3.0 connector on your motherboard I would recommend buying this PCI card which comes with 5 USB 3.0 slots and an internal connector: http://www.desertcart.com/gp/product/B00FXMGC5M/ref=oh_details_o03_s01_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The hot swap bay works well with a 2.5" drive I pulled from the same laptop as the blu-ray drive, you'll need to connect SATA/power to the rear of the adapter. The slide button works well for ejecting the HDD. If I recall correctly the packaging included some screws to mount the bay adapter into a standard 5.25" bay, a SATA cable, and a molex to SATA power cable. Mounting the bay adapter in my desktop went well, it sits flush with the case and does not wiggle or seem insecure at all. If I could change one thing about this bay adapter it would be to swap the locations of the USB and hot swap bay, the SATA connections for the HDD and optical drive are a little close on the back side, but it's nothing worth taking a star over. Overall, I am very satisfied. Review: Works Great - Couple of Notes - I love this item. My music PC is a powerhouse, But I wanted to put it in the smallest enclosure possible, giving me only an open 3.5 and 5.25 bay. I have a multi-card reader in the 3.5 and this item in the 5.25. The computer's internal hard drive space is occupied by 2 2.5 500gb drives raided and there was a little space under the multi-card reader that I shoved a 2.5 SSD as my boot drive. Where this item comes to play in the 5.25 bay. It houses a blu-ray burner, leads to the USB 3.0 PCI express card and an open hot-swap bay. NOTES: other reviewers noted the necessity for the SATA/Power adapter for the CD/DVD/Blu-ray drive bay. This is correct; this adapter does not come in the package and needs to be purchased separately. The frame gives a little too much clearance around the CD Bezel (think dell flat type), but that isn't a worry... Here is something I have yet to see anyone note; NOT EVERY 2.5 Hard Drive is Hot Swappable! It will be hit or miss. I believe most Western Digital drives are not Hot Swappable in this device. Also, after ejecting a hard drive (using the operating system) and reinserting the same drive; some motherboards may not recognize it being reinserted and you may have to reset for it to be initialized. This will differ depending on your motherboard's manufacturer, and drivers installed. My computer is an older Core2-Quad in an intel motherboard <--so that could be my issue; your results may very. Just take note that it's a possibility...

Unfortunately this dimmension will not support a 15mm thick HDD.Regards, SYBA CST RZ161122 **Q: Does this >>> tray less rack for 2.5" sata hdd/ ssd <<< there is no rack for the ssd???** A: There is a door on the enclosure for SSDs. It is the small door with the silver button and silver strip on it. Your SSD slides directly in there. **Q: can this be used to install a DVD/ bluray player removed from a laptop?** A: It will depend on the size of the optical drive. First, you will have to remove the front cover from the driver or it will not fit in the bay. Most optical drives are wider than standard 3.5" drives and will not fit in the adapter bay. It probably will not work mechanically, even though it would work electronically. The 2 bays are 2.5 inches and 3.5 inches wide respectively so there is no way to fit a 5.25 inch optical drive into the bay. You can install the optical drive internally, I have done it myself. **Q: Where can i also get the rack for 2.5" sata hdd/ ssd?** A: Dear Customer, It's built into this enclosure. You just slide your 2.5" HDD or SSD into the slot covered by the door on this enclosure. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Looks good, does what it is supposed to. *by A***Y on April 20, 2014* I ordered the Syba 5.25-Inch Bay Adapter for Slim Optical Drive and 2.5-Inch SATA III HDD/SDD with 2 USB 3.0 Ports SY-MRA55005 for use in a desktop with the blu-ray drive from an older laptop.

Now BUY IT! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for mounting slim DVD drive with hot swappable 2.5" drive and USB 3.0 connectors. *by J***D on July 15, 2014* I bought a Corsair Air540 case to build my new system. The Air540 is a mid-tower cube with very good air flow, great cable routing and a huge window on one side so you can see your system build. (Since the case has a huge window on the side, and plain case fans, I had to replace the fans with LED fans, but that's another story.) Unfortunately, the DVD drive bays sit vertically. Since most computer DVD drives have a tray, they are a little difficult to use sideways. Accordingly, I bought a slot mounted hard drive which works like the ones in a car, slurping up the DVD/CD. However, in order to make it fit, I needed to purchase a bay adapter. This one works perfectly. In addition to the slot for the thin DVD drive, it has a bay for a hot swappable 2.5" hard drive, which I think is very useful. It also has two front panel USB 3.0 ports, which I need because the case only had two USB ports on front panel instead of the standard four. However, my motherboard only had one front panel USB 3.0 connector. This required me to purchase a card with an extra USB 3.0 connection to make it work. ## Frequently Bought Together - Syba 5.25" Bay Adapter for Slim Optical Drive, 2.5" Trayless Rack for Hard Drives HDD SSD, USB Hub - SY-MRA55005 - 6in Slimline SATA to SATA Adapter with Power - F/M - HLDS BU40N Ultra Slim 9.5mm UHD 4K Blu-ray SATA 3.0 GB/s Optical Drive for PC --- ## 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.fi/products/2640883-syba-5-25-bay-adapter-for-slim-optical-drive-2](https://www.desertcart.fi/products/2640883-syba-5-25-bay-adapter-for-slim-optical-drive-2) --- *Product available on Desertcart Finland* *Store origin: FI* *Last updated: 2026-10-22*
