I have an HDD in my case that makes cable management difficult, would this be ideal for taking it out and putting it in the front bay slot on my case?

This product is ideal if you need to remove or swap hard drives on occasion. If you have multiple drives and you need to move one to the front bay slot it would be safer to use a fixed drive adapter for the slot. If you have only one drive - then DO not use this product, but use a fixed drive adapter. While this product would function, it's safest for your running system if you only use this type of product for drives used for backup or archival, etc. as you would not want to accidently open the bay and crash your system.

No, that still wouldn't work. It would be too loose in the case and would become disconnected.

yes and you can move the location of the drive bays up or down. you will not have any problems with space on this case no mater the size of card.

Yes. I have done this several times. The hdd fits snugly though, and it is quite difficult to get in and out. I used a screwdriver, but a flatbladed scaper of some sort might be better.

No it only design one HDD Docking, you can add other other cables to make it work, but I would try it.

Dan...I'm afraid I don't know. I've only put the 1TB WD MyPassport in it. If the Seagate you're interested in has the same or smaller dimensions, then you'll be just fine. There isn't a lot of extra room in the case for a much larger drive.

Not sure... I had been trying to get some data off of the exact hard drive from a Seagate External HD and as a last resort for the girl, I had bought this to swap out boards. I wasn't successful but the drive I bought has been a good one. I stuck it in another build. Sorry I couldn't answer your question.

I didn't use any adapters because there are two mounting brackets for 2.5" hard disks. One is on the bottom of the case, and the other is on the back of the motherboard tray. I tried both and settled on the bottom one as it didn't require very long cables.

Directly to the dock, then the dock has a cable off the side. Not much chance of a hard pull out.

Not really. I can access some crucial spots, like connecting a new hard drive, but not without some pain, though. But that will also depend on the rig you'll build. Because I have a gtx 770, it takes up a lot of space, plus a 750w power supply that is fairly big. All this plus no cable management makes it really hard to do stuff in the motherboard without hassle, once it is done. That is the downside of this desktop case.

It should. There is a fair amount of space but if you find you cant fit it or the cables are a bit too snug for your liking you can move the drive vage directly in front of the power supply for even more room

No there is not a slot to feed the cable through while having the case completely zipped. I will say it is manageable to have the cable come out of thd case when it is not competely zipped. I wouldn't recommend that though, in fear of the hard drive over heating due to lack of air circulation. This being said, whenever I use the hard drive I do not find it becoming hot to touch though. Hope this helps.

To my knowledge that is handled by your bios and the hdd itself. So as long as your mobo and hdd are smart compatible the enclosure dosnt figure into it.

Absolutely! It is held in by 5 screws, 2 up top and three on the bottom. I take mine out of the case for every gig. I rarely use the bottom three screws anymore when I put it back in the case at the end of the gig. The top 2 work fine if you aren't jostling the case to and from your events.

No, the top is where the motherboards rear I/O is. I guess you COULD cut out the mesh and route the cables through the cut out you make but then you're just making the inside of the case more cluttered with cables than it already is..

I can't, I don't run a case, but there is quite a bit of extra space around the dock it pretty much sits on top and almost floats, so the only problem would be the length of the connector, if its long enough to fit in the slot through the case.

Feel your angst! MINE does fit (barely!). I CAN NOT put cable inside with the drive; I attach it to the WD and zip the case. My decision to purchase was solely to keep the drive clean and protected from scratches. I know: Obsessive!!
