I have a USB 3.0 2.5in Hard-Drive enclosure, will this fit? and will it utilize the USB 3.0 capability?

This harddrive that is in question is a 3.5 inch in size. Your enclosure is a 2.5 inch casing. Will not fit.

I've installed hard drives all over the place inside the computer, never worrying about the slot as designed, using tie-wraps, etc. The real question is will the connecting cables all plug up. As another responder replied, not likely.

Correct terminology is essential. Now, instead of USB enclosure, give me the Nomenclature (Name, make, model number) of your computer. This gives me the specifications, thus, I can tell you if this Hard-drive fit. I am waiting!

This is an enclosure only. You must checkConnections for your hard drive SATA, ATA, IDE?Does you Mac Support USB 2.0?Once you determine these things then it should work

This box has both USB 2.0 and 3.0, so the 2.0 will work for sure, not so clear if the 2.0 can be replaced for the 3.0 or not?

I've used this in a desktop, but the form factor is the same of the others 2.5", just slightly slimmer, it should fit in any 2.5" sata bay. You can find the exact dimensions on the vendor though

I am not sure, but I believe so.The 2.5" form factor is correct.I am less sure about this: the PATA (new version) interface of the enclosure is compatible with the ATA (older version) of the drive.For less than $5, I'd say go for it.

Sorry man, I'm not sure. But if it could fit standard 3.5 inch drive type of HDD mounting, if should fit.

Hard drives are of standard sizes (3.5" & 2.5"). Yours is probably 3.5" if it came from a desktop computer. It will fit standard external cases.

I guess you could use it for a 2.5", but why would you need such a giant case for a small drive.The 3.5" connects from the inside to a sata and power cable, and from the outside you have USB 3.0 output.

It has an IDE connector. I would measure your old hard drive to make sure it will fit in this enclosure.

A usb enclosure has nothing to do w disk size. You could put any 2.5" SATA hard drive in there and ir will work. I use it for a 1 TB hdd also

The Sabrent 3.5" enclosures I have (2) fitted normal 3.5" HDs without a problem. Most likely ADave was shipped the wrong product(wrong model?)...

Yes it should. It says USB 3.0 because it has 4 USB ports in the front panel on where two of them are 3.0 and the other two 2.0. You should be able to use de 2.0 USB front panel without issues.

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.

If it's a 2.5" drive, it will fit. If the power socket is out on the drive, the enclosure will not be able to power it.

All I can say is, it is the same fit as any 3.5 inch computer harddrive. Hope that helps.

Hi Terry, There are multiple different WD 3tb SATA III drives, but this enclosure will work with any 3.5" SATA drive - that's the only thing that matters. I would note that this enclosure, being only USB 2.0, will not benefit from the speed over a SATA III drive verses a SATA II drive, so if you find a cheaper 3.5" drive, feel free to go with the cheaper option.

It should. It is an enclosure for a 2.5 inch internal hard drive with an USB 3.0 connection
