Are these stackable? I have two old laptop drives sitting around, could use two identical enclosures.

They can be stacked (haven't tried - prefer side by side) but there may be a heat problem as they are metal enclosures and the bottom one in the stack may radiate heat upwards to the top one. Would recommend using the plastic foot dots to provide more space between the two drives and to cut down on the direct contact of the metal enclosures.

If you mean just putting them on top of each others, they should fit nicely. SSDs don't really heat much, so it's not problem.I am basically running Windows and playing video games via USB 3.0, and it barely gets above room temperature.If you mean to daisy chain, then you will need to buy the version with the thunderbolt.

As others have said, they aren't designed to fit together like stackable Rubbermaid boxes, or anything, but the enclosure is ROCK SOLID--it's made out of thick aluminum. You should have no problem simply putting them on top of each other. You could probably step on one with your foot and it'd survive.

Not enough room for 3.5 & another drive. You might be able to engineer 2 of 2.5" low profile drives.

No. They don't see each other's drives. what you can do is to create an array on each of them and then in the OS use them as a single drive.

You can stack them, but I wouldn't necessarily recommend it. I definitely wouldn't stack more than 1.

You sure can, I have four drives in actually. Good case to use for any basic build. Just be careful with large RAM, I did have to get creative with my new corsair 8gb because it was interfering with one Hard drive

Yes, you can stack them any way you like. They are pretty flexible that way.

I wouldn't stack them at all unless you put them on custom shelves or boards between them. The metal corners are rounded, not conducive to stacking.

read outside of the enclosure? I am not entirely sure I understand you question, but they are standard 3.5" hard drives, so they can be removed and used elsewhere (installed into a computer for example) or they can be replaced with newer or larger drives.

Greetings,Great question!Yes, absolutely. The two drive types can be installed and utilized in conjunction with one another.Best regards,MITXPC

I can't really answer that as I have never considered it. I would like to say no, but then again, anything is possible. Sorry, that's the best I can give you. I will say that is is probably one of the best external HD enclosures I have every had. If it wasn't so expensive, I would buy another one.

Just went to the closet to check, seems like you can stack them. Mine are so full though it didn't stack well

Yes you can, and you can use them as partitions as well. I am thinking of ordering another set. They are easy to set up too.

Yes, they will nest together for stability. I have not attempted to stack them, so I don't know if that would be advisable.

You cannot stack them. The bottom has only a very slight taper so not near enough to stack them.

These hard drives are slightly taller than normal 2.5" hard drives. I don't know about that laptop model, but if you take your hard drive out and there isn't any room to spare vertically, then I highly doubt this one will fit.

They are the same size cage so in theory that should work but I have never personally tried to stack them. They would be sturdy enough to hold the weight.

Yes, they are stackable. I stack mine 2 at a time, but more can be stacked without any issues.
