Can this fit inside the HD bay of a typical PC case? Or do I need something else to allow physical compatibility?

Most likely you will need a bracket that can hold a 2.5" Laptop disk drive form factor.

Sorry I can't, my PC isn't really easily accessible but if you have room for optical drives you should have room for this. The fan is 25mm thick, and I'm not sure how thick the front bezel is but if you allow for 15mm (and a 3.5" HDD should be 146mm long) the overall length is about 186mm, or 7.3". That's probably cutting it real close for you, but if this doesn't fit you could get a 15mm thick fan and slide the drives forward a little.

Depends on the case you are going to install it into. If you are using a proprietary case from a brand name company like Apple, Dell, etc., you will probably have nothing but problems. Best to install it in an empty case with power supply, compatible memory, processor, drives and other hardware of your choice. The specs at Gigabyte's website will give you more information as to compatible components.

Yes, this is compatible . Also, this is a full height bracket, if your PC case supports half-height, this wouldn't fit.

Some hd have different thickness. This one would fit most likely, but you do want to make sure it doesn't wiggle around. Also that your os support trim.

Yes. Just make sure your HDD doesn't get in the way by moving it to a lower 3.5" bay.

I didn't use any adapters because there are two mounting brackets for 2.5" hard disks. One is on the bottom of the case, and the other is on the back of the motherboard tray. I tried both and settled on the bottom one as it didn't require very long cables.

There's Room for an 11 inch card but you have to remove the hard drive cage to fit the video card in the case.

To my knowledge that is handled by your bios and the hdd itself. So as long as your mobo and hdd are smart compatible the enclosure dosnt figure into it.

Absolutely. I mounted him inside a standard HD bay using some screws and little rubber feet. Connects in 10 seconds using standard SATA data connection and standard power. You may want to get some adapter rails to mount it inside your HD bay.

Depends on the mobo but you should be able to fit one in, i doubt two without taking out the hdd cages

Generally, a drive bay adapter like this one will fit into an case with three available 5 3/4" drive bays. However, you will probably have to remove that toolless fastener stuff and use regular m3x6 (optical drive) screws. You might also be interested in a Cooler Master 4 in 3 HDD Module Device - (STB-3T4-E3-GP). Good luck!

It should. My drive is bigger physically than yours so the case is a better match for yours than it was for mine. I had no problem with the electronic components, just the box itself.

Totally can be fit, but need to remove the middle section hdd cage in order to do so

From Macally tech support, "...there is no limit on the size of the hard drive you put inside. My product development team says whatever is commercially available on the market should work fine."

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

This is an extremely long card. I am currently using this card in a mid-tower case and things have become a bit cramped. Approximately an inch of the card extends into space reserved for hard drives. That said, it really depends on the layout of the mini-tower case; it may fit but I'm not confident enough to say that it will.
