!!! Does it Support SATA 5.25" Optical Drives ?, Thanks

I haven't tried that with it, but the connections are the same, so I would assume that it would work. I have only used it for hard drives. but it works for both sizes. I think it would work

It supports any drive that has sata connectors. So as long as that drive has standard sata connectors it should work.

No it does not. You would have to order one specifically for an SATA drive.

Max supported size? Dimensionally, it fits every modern 3.5 inch drive I've tried. Gig/Terabyte wise, it doesn't care, the Serial ATA (SATA) data connectors pass through. If your drive will work without this dock, it should work with the dock.It's sort of like asking how fast a car can your garage handle. The garage doesn't care about speed, just if it will fit through the door.

Thanks for your information. I did also find out that there's a sata port intended for an optical drive. If so, then I can mount the SSD in that bay and still have all 4 bays for data. Now - does anybody know if the BIOS can handle 3TB drives without repartitioning?

Yes, it is a 3.5" SATA drive. I have one of them, and it has been a good external drive.

I typically use a Samsung SN-208DB, but you could use any standard slim SATA optical drive.

Yes, it will work with any Sata based drive. There isn't a speed difference between sata cables, so go for style more than anything

There is a 5.25 bay for your optical drive. There is a 2.5 spot on the bottom of the case in front of the psu. Then there are 2 bays that will hold a 3.5 drive (or two 2.5 drives each). So you will be short a 2.5 bay. There is a lot of space though so you might be able to rig something up for a tiny 2.5 drive.

I can't say for certain since I've yet to actually install one, but I think with the right adapter, most notebook optical drives will fit. The key factor is of course the height of the drive. Slot-loading ones should work for the most part, whereas taller tray-loading models may not fit in the slot at the front of the case.

It comes with a mounting bracket to suffice for a 3.5" drive bay however it does NOT come with a sata cable. I have deployed hundreds of these drives and not a single one has failed.

It will work with a desktop SATA connection without a problem. My drive didn't come with a bracket but the thing weights virtually nothing and can be secured to one side of your case with only two screws. Heck, one of my machines just has a couple of rubber bands holding a drive in place. A benefit of having no exposed circuitry and not moving parts.

it supports full Sata III with USB3.0 but 3Gbs with esata cable..... which is what i use. It is very fast and by far the best Hard Drive Enclosure for 2.5-Inch hard drive i have ever used bar none !

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.

I believe that model only has two sata ports so you would have to remove your optical drive from the motherboard for this cable to work

Yes. The first bullet point in their description reads:* Support for standard 2.5 "and 3.5" SATA hard drives (SATA-I/II/III); Compatible Operating Systems with Windows 2000/ XP /Vista/ 7/ 8, Mac OS 9.1/10.8.4 or above; Backward compatible with USB 2.0 /1.1 connections

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

It should work with all SATA drives. Don't know if this particular drive fits in the case they give you. But the cable should work.
