How tall and deep is this drive. Is this the 3/8 height form factor?

Mine was different than the photo as well. However, slim HDD's are 7mm (9/32 roughly), not 9.5mm. You can fit either though, I have tried both. With the slim drive I simply left the tray that it is attached to on it. It is very cheap, but hey for $10 or less, that's kind of what to expect. I added electrical tape to mine to hold the HDD in place, and it doesn't match the bezel of my T410 at all, but I do have 2 local drives now so I couldn't care less.

Hi, the height IS 3/8 of an inch. The depth is 5 1/4 to the black plastic part not including the protruding knobbie tail. Hope this helps. What computer are you trying to install this on?

Andrew. First, I purchased two similar drive caddys and you cannot assume that they will match the photo, as neither of mine did. The photo is a Lenovo product, both of the caddys I received were cheap knockoffs (one would not even accept a drive into the bay; the other worked, but was missing all the trim pieces so I have a hole in the side of the notebook and the caddy does not lock into place). As to height, the 9.5mm height is the "slim" form factor that goes with the thinner notebooks and disks. Both of the caddys I bought fit into the T430s.

You have a good eye. The drive is square in shape 5.5 x 0.5 x 5.5 in. Give or take a a bit on the depth. I don't really move it around much so I haven't considered a case, but I hope the measurements help.

no 7mm drive height max. there is many available for sale but i has to say thin in the description.

2.5 inch, no room for an 3.5 drive you should go with the SSD, its easier on the power supply. I am not sure the compatibility between sata 2 & sata 3, the box has USB 3, that is good. I was surprised to see the box run win server 2012 when we loaded it as a domain controller.

It's a 3/8 drive but also has a raised hex that a 1" socket fits. If using the 1" socket I would recommend using a 6 point socket.

Yes, I believe so. Although I do not have a ruler handy, I'd the drive you haw is bigger than regular you can just fit it on the bottom slot. There is nothing separating top and bottom, so it'll just stick upwards a bit into slot 2 (2 being top, 1 being below) I'm not sure if you'll be able to fit 2 though...

I just measured mine and the little rounded piece that sticks up is 3/4" high. It fits in my standard file cabinet without issue.

No, you can get the 11.5 & 1.8, but it's only 3.0" deep. Sorry, but it's still a"nice storage box".

3 15/16" wide, 3 3/4" deep, 1" tall. Fits perfectly into a 3.5" bay. The depth includes the faceplate, and that would be how deep the drive goes into the desktop case.

I measure it at 19 inches. Adequate for me, others say it's to short. Also, keep in mind that drive input is a USB 3.0 connection.

I haven't had any problems with any of the 3.5" drives I have tried. I think I have a Western Digital Green 1Tb in one and a 1.5Tb in the other at the moment (I have two, one for my main drive, the second for my backup).

Don't listen to those who say 3.5 inch HDD. I jhave used these and now SDDs for over 8 years in my desktops and for those I build for othwers. Theya re awesome. less power, less heat, less noise. Go for it.

I had an external WD Passport 2TB drive that I thought I could pop out of its enclosure and put in here. That did not work because of the height (not sure what the exact height is, sorry). I believe it is two platters, which makes it bigger. I had to stick with just a Seagate 2.5" 500GB drive I had, and that seats fine.

It is the standard 2.5" hard drive. the "2.5 inches" refers to the diameter of the platters inside the drive, not the external dimension.

The exterior measures 3" x 4 11/16"....This has been a great case...very dependable. I installed a SATA 7200RPM 640 HDD and it runs very cool to the touch and is lightning fast...sorry...Amazon says that I can't post unless I buy something from them..lol...mmmm..I think they need to check their records

3/8" drive. Of course you could use a 3/8 to 1/2 adapter... So really it works with both. Quality part though.

No, this is 3.5" and designed for desktops. You are going to need a 2.5" laptop drive.
