will this enclosure accommodate an SATA DVD burner? They say ALL types, so I assume it's yes

No. When it says "all types" it means all types of IDE drives (Hard Disk Drive, Floppy, Optical - DVD/CD), but SATA is a very different interface (much newer). IDE uses a 40-pin data connector (and 4-pin power) - see here: http://www.computerhope.com/jargon/i/ide.htm whilie SATA uses 7 pins for data and 15 (!) for power - see here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_ATA The electronics involved are different as well, but what you need to know is that the connectors will not connect between IDE and SATA. There are adapters, but that would be silly in this case as the whole point of this enclosure is to accommodate older IDE drives (plus there would be no room inside for the adapter AND the DVD burner) - but there are many SATA enclosures, which IS what you need. For example: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000VXDFJE/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_2?pf_rd_p=1535523722&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B0019884K0&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0C8F9SV911CXN3NAK2DK There are many others - just search [sata optical drive enclosure]. Hope this helps - Good luck!

Sure will, it's just a cage to hold the drives with a fan on front. Just make sure you have enough free drive bays to accommodate it.

It should work. It is simply a plate with an adapter on the end. As long as the receiving caddy accepts a 3.5" SATA drive, then it should fit.

The capacity limit is dictated by the SATA standard (SATA II or SATA III) of the drive rather than the enclosure. Therefore as long as your drive conforms to a known SATA standard between I and III it should work just fine.

Any SATA 2.5 inch portable drive will work with this enclosure. It comes with USB 3.0 micro B connector which I don't like. It doesn't stay in there very well and can come out with even a small pull.

After looking at a picture of the server; it appears there are two 5.25" bays. I would guess that one is filled with a CD/DVD drive? If you have a least one open 5.25" bay, then yes it would fit.

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.

This is a standard USB to standard SATA adapter, so the size of the drive shouldn't matter. This should work just fine for you.

SATA III is backwards compatible with SATA I & II so it will work with this enclosure

This case will hold any 3.5 inch drive including blu ray drive. I am using this case for a blu ray burner and am having no problems with it. Because the read and write speed of the burner is slower than either usb3 or sata it shouldn't matter.

Not likely - this is a _mini_ SATA connector, not a full size SATA connector.

It should work if you have a SATA drive. You need to correctly open and mount the drive into the enclosure and snap the enclosure closed.

For the descriptions of the size of your hard drive, it is a 3.5" disc drive. It will fit in this enclosure for sure but it would be an over-kill. The enclosure is designed for 5.25" Optical drives (such as DVD, Blu-ray, CD burner) but I am sure that you can connect your hard drive to the enclosure. You just need to secure your smaller disc properly in the enclosure. One thing to make sure is that this box has only SATA (serial) interface to your hard disk. If you hard disc is a PATA or IDE disc (parallel interface with a 40-pin connector), it won't work with this enclosure.

This is just the enclosure, you're expected to provide the drive. Put one in that burns cds, it'll burn cds in this enclosure.

It should work fine, though I haven't used that brand drive myself. It's the correct type (SATA III).

Hello Tom....I'm not sure... I'm using it on a 500GB sata II.... But since it is USB 3.0 I don't think why it wont handle it. Anyway.... Read my post... The enclosure itself is very nice but for some reason the deive keeps disconnecting and reconecting..... I think it is a connector design issue.

Yes, this product will support SSD Drives that conform to using the SATA Interface. As stated directly from Thermaltake's web site "Supports all 2.5" & 3.5" SATA I/II/III hard drives in ALL Capacities"
