I just saw that there are different heights when buying internal hard drives. What "height" of the hdd can fit into this caddy?

Anything 7,5mm and thinner...most 7.5mm or thinner should fit. 9.5 mm drives might just be to high?

You won't be fitting a 12.5mm drive in anything that wasn't specifically made for it. This case is not designed for anything but 9.5mm ones.

7.5. The total thickness of the adapter is just 9mm. No its not 9.5. I found on the latitude E6520 the height of the drive caddy was critical. Many after market were too tall. So if the total thickness of the caddy is 9mm obviously the drive must be a 7.5mm or thinner.

I had an external WD Passport 2TB drive that I thought I could pop out of its enclosure and put in here. That did not work because of the height (not sure what the exact height is, sorry). I believe it is two platters, which makes it bigger. I had to stick with just a Seagate 2.5" 500GB drive I had, and that seats fine.

Without knowing the size of the drive I can not answer. Look at the description for the product and it should give you the inside dimensions of the case to see whether it will fit or not.

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

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.

probably not, it's slightly thicker than a normal 2.5" HDD. I wouldn't suggest buying one anyway. I had 2 fail on me virtually out of the box.

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

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."

It should work. It is simply a plate with an adapter on the end. As long as the receiving caddy accepts a 3.5" SATA drive, then it should fit.

If you are trying to use this as an internal HDD, you might want to double check on the size there. That's a 3.5" HDD commonly used in desktops; unless you were planning on using this drive in an external HDD rig I would suggest you look into the 2.5" HDDs. *Suggestion: go with &lt;Western Digital Bare Drives 2.5 Inch, Low Profile, 5400 RPM, SATA II, 8MB Cache 500GB Mobile Hard Drive, Blue WD5000LPVT&gt; it's only $3 more ($43.99) than that desktop HDD for double the capacity.

These hard drives are slightly taller than normal 2.5" hard drives. I don't know about that laptop model, but if you take your hard drive out and there isn't any room to spare vertically, then I highly doubt this one will fit.

It says it will fit a 9.5 to 12.5 mm thick drive. I put a seagate that was 12.5mm in it and it was not quite big enough so didn't work for me. You need to take the drive out of its enclosure and measure it or see if you can get the info online.

I bought these: HGST Travelstar 7K1000 2.5-Inch 1TB 7200 RPM SATA III 32MB Cache Internal Hard Drive 0J22423. The fastest, largest drive I could find that fits the 9mm height limit. Be careful of the model; HGST makes other models at lower speed, etc.

I bought 3 of these and they each have different drive. I do not see any reason why your drive will not work as long as it is 3.5". The tricky part is opening case to install your drive...but You Tube has videos to instruct how to do it. I love these external cases!,

If the Caddy fits into your MBP, you should not have any more problem. Probably, your HD is not initialised. You can create a partition and format it using the Disk Utilily App.

This is an enclosure will only hold a standard 3.5" Internal SATA hard drive. It does not include the hard drive.

what size is your drive in caddy? that happened to me too.. my drive is 1TB but i tried with another about 750GB and there is no problem, it reads it succesfuly.

No, that drive is a bit too tall for this case. The WD drives tend to be a little shorter.
