Is there available a 5" disk that can be interchanged for smaller work pieces?

There is a 5" model but not sure if they can interchange. If u need a 5" then get that one. Both are awesome sanders!

Unfortunately no and I assume it has to do with the vacuum holes not lining up. If you want that functionality you have to buy a more expensive unit such as Bosch ROS65VCL 5 and 6-Inch Pads Rear-Handle Random Orbit Sander with Vibration Control Kit which I'm sure is well worth the investment and is the same price if you bought both a 5 and 6 inch separately.

Hello John, sorry this is a 1.8" drive it will not fit in a standard IDE drive slot...

Greetings, No, this model does not support a 2.5" drive. The 'H' models will support 2.5" drive expansion; not currently available in the US. Best regards, MITXPC

Hi Rudy,These disks are too small (quarter size give or take), while you certainly could use them I would imagine it would take a lot of time. Quality is there though.

Yes. BUT this d&^n tool is so good, if it is too tall, build a larger storage unit! :-)

You will need a radius guide. Hardwood has it's own issues with quarter inch drive, as you would suspect. Not undoable.

The design of the drive should allow you to read the smaller 3" disk. Wether the data is in a format that you can use is another question which I cannot answer. The drive tray is actually the drive so you mount your disk directly on the spindle not a tray.

I have 2 - 3.5" drives and one 2.5" drive. (The 2.5" drive isn't bolted in, just rests on top of the optical drive. You may be able to squeeze another but it is tight with the optical drive installed.

No. Jerry. I think what you want is a small portable USB storage drive. You can get them with various capacities, probably from Amazon, dodo motley at radio shack.

Those dimension sound like it is a 5.25 drive in which case this enclosure will work.

The 5.25" drive slot on the top of the machine is shipped empty. However, I bought some 5.25" to 3.5" rails and mounted another hard disk up in that slot. It works like a charm. I use that as my boot disk and all of the Plug-and-Play slots (warning: not hot swappable) as my data drives.Currently running Windows 7 x64 on it with 8GB of ECC RAM. The thing is an absolute beast.

There is an adaptor available with a 1/4 drive on it. I don't remember where I got mine but I use it often. Harbor freight tools has a set of adaptors in 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2 drives.

It was smaller than the 2.5 inch hard drive in my laptop so I can't imagine why not. If you presently have a 2.5, it should fit. Sorry, can't answer the second from this experience, but from the past, you should be able to find some free software to migrate

No, 3.5". You are not going to find many 5.25" USB floppy drives around. I have never seen one.

Rose, I don't think you can buy those 750 MB disks any longer; I think they went out when the drive was discontinued. Sorry!

Yes you can. You can either just place it somewhere in the case( it has no moving parts) or you can use a bracket that comes with it that will fit into the standard 3.5 slot a normal HD would slide into

It uses two 5.25" bays like the ones used for standard sized disc drives, and it's about as long as a disc drive as well.
