Will this unit accept a Sony BD-5300S drive?

It *should* work with it. The enclosure *should* work with any 5.25" SATA I-III optical device just like any SATA HD (of the correct size) should work with any external USB-SATA HD enclosure rated for a drive of that size. While I don't have a Sony BD, my LG drive has worked flawlessly in the enclosure.

As long as it's a standard size 5 1/4 inch optical drive that connects via SATA, it should be no problem. If this is the slim drive, I don't know, since I don't own one. You may want to try to contact Vantec to find out.

It should. Tried and connected the station to the following three external drives: one 1TB USB 3.0 WD My Passport, one 500GB Crucial SSD in an USB 2.0 enclosure and one 500G USB 2.0 Toshiba. All three mounted and copy/delete files without a problem.

Ignore the other answer. The drive will fit fine. Any drive that does not exceed 9.5mm will work. The drive is compatible, just make sure it is formatted correctly

The one I have is for 3.5", Data capacity is 720KB, 1.25MB, 1.44MB (Formatted). Have not found a drive for the 5.25" disk yet myself.

Yes. I simply added a formatted 500 gig sata drive and it works fine. That is if it doesn't come with one in the box....check to see what it is listed with.

Yes. It will accept any drives. I would wait till warranty expires before replacing because it will void warranty.

Yes, you may have to move the jumpers around to get the correct configuration but it will work. I'm using it with a IDE Sony Blu-Ray drive and it works great.

Yes, it does. I've got a 3TB sitting right in front of me. It's a DWC-130 3TB toshishastoragedotcom

Yes. It has drive bays that will fit basically whatever kind of drive you want to install. I put a blu ray burner in one of my drive bays.

It should work just fine. Just verify the height of your existing optical drive, usually 9. 5 or 12 mm and make sure you order the right one.

If it is a 2.5" labtop SATA it will almost certainly work. Even some of the older drives work; it all depends on the interface.

Simple answer: No. Except Drobo B1200i.You can check this: http://www.drobo.com/products/choose-drive/

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