Compliant product
Doesn't look super solid at first, but does the job.
Easy to assemble, I am satisfied.

Very practical adapter to install a 3 1/2" device (such as a memory card reader) on the front of the PC when you only have 5 1/4" bays. It's easy to install and fits well with the standard dimensions of the case. The plastic on the front panel is a bit cheap and does not look good on a case with a minimum of quality. If the rack is visible all the time and aesthetics are important to you, this may not be the ideal solution. But behind a hatch that hides the 5"1/4 bays most of the time, it works fine.
Very good material, I order ICY DOCK quite often for the ease of use of the product.
I've been using it for a while now, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use it as a NAS. 2 SSDs + 1 3.5 inch drive locked with the screws provided for security (belt and straps) Plastic but solid......Fast delivery and very good packaging...LDLC serious as usual.
This product is perfect for me. I have no problems with the assembly. I am happy with this purchase.
The product was very easy to install and so was the component I put in it. It's black and discreet. It's a shame I couldn't find a metal product instead of a plastic one.
Used for a 3.5 HDD, I found the lack of fixing diversity to be surprising and it is detrimental to me as I cannot fix the HDD. It's understandable that having such a versatile part requires 'sacrifices' but it means the product deserves to be improved further
This adapter is great. It allows you to optimise a 5.25 bay by installing a 3.5 format drive and two 2.5 format drives.
For the price, you can't go without.
This is a well thought-out TB product, without any fuss.
Contrary to the instructions in the manual, do not hesitate to use the locking screws systematically.
Good product, very well made and very well designed.
Super convenient to install several hard drives in the space of a DVD player.
Good product, as described.
Perfectly compatible with an Akasa InterConnect S, for example.
The product was well packaged and the delivery time was correct.
Thank you LDLC
I needed to add a 4th hard drive to make my mini-itx case a NAS, as there are only three original 3.5" HDD slots.
I also wanted to use the six sata ports on the motherboard, with an SSD cache.
The only downside is that the front dust cover doesn't hold anything at all, and I would need some tape or a bit of glue to keep it in place.
Otherwise, very good product.
It's a good adapter, too bad it doesn't fit properly in the bay of a hp pavilion a6 chassis. It's a good adapter, too bad it doesn't fit properly in a hp pavilion a6 chassis bay, but otherwise it's a good adapter. It fits perfectly with my 3.5" USB hub.
After an error on my part on another product I needed a 3.5 to 5.25 inch adapter for a front USB bay. It does the job well, and also allows you to add SDDs... quite interesting. It's well made.
I used this product to add a 3.5" hard drive to my desktop. Everything I need is included in the box and it is very easy to assemble.
I'm even planning to get a second one to replace my dvd drive which is no longer of any use to me with another 3.5" drive.
I bought this adapter to clear an HDD cage from my case (Fractal R4) to further optimise airflow.
It allowed me to "relocate" my SSD and HDD to a location that was not really suitable (one of the two 5.25 bays of my case).
It's not too complicated to install.
The price is clearly in its favour.
I would recommend this adapter for anyone who wants to save space in their enclosure or simply improve the airflow.
Used to install an AKASA USB3 rack. It installs easily in my tower (it even clips on without screws). Very well adapted to the 5" rack...there is almost no daylight on the sides. Good plastic quality. Good value for money.
I bought it because my box did not support the number of HDDs I wanted, but I can see that the product does its job.
But I think that the design can be rethought a little because the assembly is to my taste much too complicated, even for a regular editor.
Quick to set up, secure the disc with the screws and without even looking at the instructions :o
If you need to swap a 2.5" drive quickly, prefer a model with a SATA backplane, not the function of this kind of support...
Functional, comes with all the necessary screws in bags with the function of the screws written on them.
BUT TOO DIFFICULT TO ASSEMBLE.
I don't consider myself a genius but I know how to assemble computers and I can say that I spent 10 minutes to understand the instructions and to assemble the thing.
It's an adapter that does the job.
Super practical! Really ideal in my tower where space is expensive! I recommend it to anyone who wants to add SSDs to an aging tower. A must have!!!!!!!
My 3.5" sd card reader fits perfectly into this rack, which in turn fits perfectly into my Fractal Design R5.
It's just unfortunate that the Fractal in question doesn't provide a built-in 3.5" rack.
Bought to mount several drives in a mini-tower recycled as a NAS, I was able to install a 3'1/2 and a 2'1/2 drive (another is possible, I didn't need it) in the CD drive slot.
The disks can be mounted without screws, which is very nice; the only drawback is that the 2'1/2 disks cannot be removed (or replaced) without dismantling the holder. This is not serious, in principle it will not be frequent...
In the end, excellent product for the price!
This dock is very practical and saves a lot of space, especially if you are a little bit limited in space in a small box.
It's a good quality product and will easily fit in any room thanks to its colour.
I had watched some videos on the net about this adapter and well that convinced me to order and I don't regret it! It is really handy, I installed a 3.5" hard drive, the bay installs very easily in my CoolMaster Cosmos 1000 tower. Good mounting system for SSDs too! I give the product 5 stars and LDLC is always so responsive.
Used to install a front panel card reader on my tower which only has 5"1/2 slots and mounted without any problems.
Also has two 2.5" hard drive slots, perhaps for future use...
A bit "cheap" looking but for the price we won't cheap-o-ter! (sorry).
Hello,
I took this 5 1/4 --> 3 1/2 adapter to install a BitFenix USB 3.0 Front Panel (4 ports), because on the tower, I only have 5 1/4 slots.
The installation is easy, I put the screws for the BitFenix, because they are USB 3 ports.
Very practical and easy to use.
The installation is done in no time, and the insertion of the disk (an SSD for my part) is done in a "click".
The multiple choices of use are ingenious.
Nothing to say about the functionality of the adapter, I was able to install my 2 SSDs and my HDD on my 5.25" bay without any problem!
The quality, in my opinion, is not quite up to scratch. The plastic is quite fragile but nothing to worry about for anyone with a minimum of delicacy
I ordered this dock to insert a 3.5" rack for two 2.5" drives, and I am fully satisfied, it is well worth the price, it makes the most of the space available in the 5.25" bay. I highly recommend it because even if you don't use it for what you bought it for, it can be used for something else!
Very good 3.5" to 5.4" adapter, perfect for my combi of two 2.5" SSDs, easy to assemble, clear doc, fixings ok, fit in Franctal R5 case ok
I recommend it with my eyes closed.
I'm very pleased with the delivery, thanks again to LDLC and the shipping company.
