Product Overview
The Qook X001JLINVD is a passive two-drive adapter: it carries a pair of 2.5 inch SSDs or laptop hard drives side by side and puts both into a single 3.5 inch internal drive bay. The body is one piece of formed sheet metal, with four large rectangular cutouts through the base plate for cable clearance and airflow, two stamped stiffening ribs running its length, and folded tabs at the top and bottom edges drilled two holes each for the drive screws. The outer rails are drilled along both sides for the 3.5 inch bay screw pattern, so the loaded bracket fastens into the bay the same way a hard drive does. Held edge-on in the photos it is a flat, low-profile frame with no tray floor, no cable, and no adapter board - the drives keep their own SATA data and power connections. Every side is photographed so you can match the hole layout to your case before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this drop into a standard 3.5 inch bay in my case?
That is what the side rails are drilled for - the same screw pattern a 3.5 inch hard drive uses. Cases with tool-less plastic rails or pin-mount trays vary, so compare the rail holes in the photos to your bay before ordering.
Are mounting screws included?
The photos show a small zip-top bag of screws with the bracket, black and bright plated heads mixed. Thread sizes and exact count are not confirmed here, so check them against your drives and case before you rely on them, and keep your own drive screws handy as backup.
Does it take 2.5 inch spinning drives, or only SSDs?
The bracket mounts to the standard 2.5 inch side hole pattern, which SSDs and laptop hard drives share, and the metal frame is stiff enough to hold both. Clearance for thicker 12.5 mm drives is not confirmed - measure your bay if you are stacking anything taller than a standard 7 mm or 9.5 mm drive.
Does it add anything electrically - a cable, a backplane, a converter?
No. It is a mechanical mount and nothing else. Each drive still runs its own SATA data cable and power lead straight to your board and power supply, which is why the base plate is cut open the way it is.
Why buy this one bracket instead of a mixed bag of mounting hardware off a surplus lot?
Because you can see exactly what arrives. This is a single piece, photographed from every angle, with the screw bag in the frame - not a sealed lot of assorted brackets you sort through hoping one matches your bay. We have one on the shelf and it ships as pictured. Shipping is $8 flat rate and free once your order passes $28, and orders leave our Idaho warehouse the same or next business day.
Cases quit shipping with 2.5 inch bays long before drives quit shrinking, which is why a folded metal rectangle like this still earns its spot in the parts drawer. Bolt two SSDs in, slide it home, and the bay your case already has becomes the bay you actually needed.
