My 2.5 "Sata drive does not fit on this. Am I doing something wrong?

Forget about the pins on each side of the piece! There is a connector in the center of the piece witch connects to the 2.5" sata harddrive , use a sata cable to the sata cableconnector which is the connector in the center of the piece/ {Neewer}. the sata harddrive does not connect directly to the piece {Neewer} . You also need a power cable that goes fromthe 2.5 sata harddrive to the power supply. Follow the directions that come with the {Neewer}. I am trying to make it as simple as possable. Hope this helps. The usb will take the nifo from the existing Drive! GOOD LUCK

When you buy the sata cabel get the power connector with it! so you can power up the sata drive! to use with the converter!

Technologic explains it well! Trust me it works well, for the transfer of your data!

The SATA connector there is for data only! You'll need a connector for power, then another connector to AC or other device for power.For power, either find molex to SATA power and use a Molex to AC adapter, or purchase a USB SATA adapter that uses data+power via USB. To start, Syba's solution for USB 3.0 uses a dedicated AC power supply which you plug into the adapter to give it power, should the power from USB 2.0/3.0 not be adequate to power the device.

If you were using an external case for the drive, the problem is that it's an older case that topped out at 2TB. You might have a similar problem with your BIOS or drivers if it is inside a computer doing this. If you are using an external case, might I suggest Orico, as they make some really nice 3TB compat (make sure any one you buy says 3TB compat or 4TB compat) external drive cases. (3519, 3529, etc)...

I used caddy for 2.5" SSD. Sorry I do not know about about other configurations.

You should use the power adapter with 3.5" drives. You really don't need to with 2.5" drives

The drive is tall, height may be a problem. You will need a little more than 15mm of vertical space.

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

If you are referring to drive connectors then it has 6, you can use SATA drives but for 2.5" you'll need a tray adapter.

Check this out. http://www.amazon.com/HDE%C2%AE-SATA-Drive-Interface-Adapter/dp/B0096BEJDI/ref=pd_bxgy_pc_text_y I got this by mistake when I wanted the other. This is a board that sticks straight from the back of the hard drive, so space may be a problem.

Contrary to what James and Jerry said, not all SATA drives will fit. Only drives that are thinner (shorter) than 12.7mm tall will fit. You can fit a thicker HDD in the caddy, but the caddy can't fit back into the computer. I tried it with a thicker drive and it simply won't work. Historically, 2.5" drives came as thick as 19mm, and some are still listed on amazon. For example search amazon for Toshiba-213mb. Most current model 2.5" SATA drives are thin enough, but check your specs carefully on the manufacturer's website.

I think it might be difficult to have two 3.5 drives in this case. I have one 3.5" 3TB Drive and two 2.5" drives. One is the boot SSD and the second is a notebook drive. The 2.5" drives are sitting where the DID would go which I don't have installed.

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

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.

Yes. The 2.5 inch height is what you need. I think your controller is SATA II and this is III. That won't matter, it will fall back to your controller speed.

Sounds like your drive may not be SATA or may be bigger than 2.5". Also you kind of have to plug the drive in at an angle, and once it's in you can set it flat.

I'm using a Samsung 830 SSD in mine. I cant remember if I've also got a mechanical 2.5" in there too. It should take 2 of any SSD or 2.5" mechanical hard drive (search for laptop internal drives).These are very fiddly to build and hard to manage the cables inside, very little space inside so take your time. I broke the external USB 3 connection when I built mine because its tricky.

SATA 2.5 (laptop drives) work with this, SATA 3.5 (desktop computer hard drives) you need the bigger enclosure they also sell on amazon. I used this with my Playstation 3 hard drive. If you have the hard drive out already it should be about 2.5 inches width, if you bought it somehwere they should list it in the info in the specs.

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.
