Building a gaming computer and wanted a really reliable optical drive, I have 3 external bays that are 5.25" in the case I have will this fit ?

Yes, this is the same size as a normal CD or DVD drive. I took out my old DVD drive and put this in. It runs fine, is quiet and smooth. You'll need to purchase software to play Blu-Ray on your computer. I got Cyberlink Power DVD, which costs 50 bucks or so, and allows you to play them on your computer. Been working fine for me. Good luck.

Yes, this internal pioneer DVD is reliable and will fit in your new building system.

ive always wanted a pioneer drive they have always been stated as very good there are others ive tried about 4 diff brands now im trying a sata bluray {pioneer} it will fit your bays but i havent used it enough to say its any better or worse

Yes, it will fit. Desktop case manufacturers and component manufacturers have standard sizes for these things. It's not like car parts, so you're G2G.

Amazon lists your drive as a 2.5 inch drive which should easily fit the box. My box came with screws to mount the drive in the box but my 3.5 inch drive was a snug fit so I didn't bother with the screws. Anyway shouldn't be a problem.

Merry Christmas! You can put two 120 or 140 fans on top and the same on the side. You must be forewarned, if you put two fans on top you won't be able to put optical drive in the top 5.25 slot. It hits the fan and sticks out too much. I put two fans on the top and put the optic drive in the second slot. When we have a need for usb 3 ports I will get either a 4 port usb or a card reader with two ports which will fit in the top slot. If you must use the top slot I would suggest a 140mm in the back of the top and if you have a hot graphics card, maybe two 120mm 's on the side.

It's been awhile since I put my together... I currently have one SSD as the OS Drive, one 3.5 data drive and if I remember correctly it's using up all the space on that mount. There is a 5.25 bay which I'm using for a Blu-Ray drive, but I'd imagine you could get something like a 3.5 to 5.25 adapter and get your 3rd drive in there that way. Page 3 in the manual (6 on the PDF) will give you a better idea of how the insides are laid out: http://www.silverstonetek.com.tw/downloads/Manual/case/Multi-GD05-Manual.pdf

Yes, it will be fine. The 3.5 can fit into the existing bay that I installed 2 SSD's in. The Solid State drive can then fit sideways on the left side of the DVD bay screwed against that slot in one of those cheap 3.5 to 2.5 conversion racks. I almost did that myself because I wanted an internal card reader. I changed my mind. One bit of advice. I installed a 120mm fan on the inside of the right hand vents. It runs a heck of a lot cooler with that cross ventilation. I am typing on the unit now & it's running really good. I installed 8 GBs of ram and a video card though. Good luck to you.

This harddrive that is in question is a 3.5 inch in size. Your enclosure is a 2.5 inch casing. Will not fit.

It uses two 5.25" bays like the ones used for standard sized disc drives, and it's about as long as a disc drive as well.

Physically Any 3.5" hdd should fit fine. As far as drive specifications, I have two bays in my server, 1 has a 1.5TB and the other has a 2TB drive. I can't test anything larger as my larger drives are SAS rather than Sata.

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.

I've read multiple reports that this drive fits in the secondary bay. Ordered one and will post an update if I have any trouble.

Assuming you are talking about a 2.5 inch (not millimeter) drive, then yes. All standard 2.5 inch SATA drives should fit in this enclosure.

Hard drives are of standard sizes (3.5" & 2.5"). Yours is probably 3.5" if it came from a desktop computer. It will fit standard external cases.

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

Yes, it has three 5.25" optical drive bays (behind the door). The case has a door on the front to control noise.

No, Thermaltake case is designed for the physical dimensions of a SATA hard drive. The optical drive case is much too large to fit.

This will fit in the same spot where a 3.5" floppy drive would fit. However, I don't have the exact dimensions if you're worried about something inside of your tower.

Honestly, I'm not familiar with that type of drive. If I'm reading your description right, your drive is an 80gb SATA drive. The case is made to work with eithera SATA or IDE drive. As long as it is a 3.5 inch drive and matches that, you're good. If it's a 2.5 inch drive, you'll need a different case.
