Frequently Asked Questions

What does this part do?
This bezel reduces a standard external 5.25-inch drive bay opening to accept a 3.5-inch device while maintaining the original appearance of the Fractal Design Core 1000 front panel.

Is the internal mounting bracket included?
No. This listing is for the front faceplate adapter only. The internal metal or plastic mounting bracket used to secure a 3.5-inch device is not included.

Is this an original OEM part?
Yes. This is a genuine Fractal Design component.

Adapters like this were commonly used to install 3.5-inch devices into larger 5.25-inch drive bays. Today they are often used with media card readers, USB expansion panels, and similar front-access accessories. This is an unused leftover from a system build which we do not need and hope someone on the internet will be able to put it to use.
