If I take it apart could I plug a 3.5 inch HD into it?

For your 3.5" hard drive, I would recommend buying the "Uspeed USB 3.0 to SATA 3ft Converter Adapter Cable for 2.5 inch/3.5 inch Hard Drive Disk HDD and SSD, Power Adapter included" instead. I have both the Superspeed and the Uspeed adaptors. I use the Superspeed for my 2.5" laptop drives for additional protection of a case, and the Uspeed for 2.5" and 3.5" hard drives and DVD/Blue Ray drives as needed.

If it's in a desktop PC then you should have a 3.5 inch form factor drive. If that is the case this will work. This is a 3.5 form factor IDE drive.

I have tried it, and you are correct. The USB port on your PC or laptop does not provide enough power for this interface (or likely any other) to run a 3.5" drive. It does, however, work even with the double-height 2.5" drives.For a 3.5" drive, you need an interface that has an external power adapter.

Yes, if you have 2.5 inch bays. I'd also buy a drive caddy in case you don't have a spare

I believe so, just plug whatever you are splitting in the correct port. FYI, I bought 2 of these things and each one broke within a few days. For the price it's not much risk just be aware it may happen

If the 3.5 is a miniature plug, yes. I believe it also came with an adapter that is from miniature to Quarter inch.

If you are refering to an SSD slot, then yes. you use included adapter to slip a 2.5" ssd into a 3.5 bay slot

Hello Jo, that is ok, and it is better to choose a professional 3.5 inch security hard drive, thank you!

Yes you should be able too. I will warn you that you still need to have power to the HDD as well as the small four pin power connector on the adapter.

Yes, as long as it is a 2.5" drive. I have a Seagate 1Tb HSSD drive in mind.

Maybe. The form factor is ok, but I don't know, if this system can use the drive.

Will only fit 3.5" drives. You have to get your own adapters if you want to fit 2.5" drives.

I've tried neither, can't see why it wouldn't. I'm having a little trouble putting the HD's in it at the moment!

probably not. I would imagine a 1/2 inch drive would be more to what you would need.

Yes, the hard drive caddie would have to be modified or swapped out to accommodate the smaller size.

You could, but the screw holes to hold the HD are made for a 3.5" HD. So if you want to put a laptop HD it will remain loosen inside the enclosure.

No, this unit has 5.25" size itself and can be used for 3,5 hard drives only.
