Will the bracket work with most external 3.5 drive enclosures? Thanks for help!

If you mean so you can put a 2.5 inch drive in a 3,5 SATA external enclosure, I do not think so actually.

You can slide it into a StarTech 5.25in Trayless Hot Swap Mobile Rack for 3.5in Hard Drive, I have not tried to mount a ssd in the bracket to see if the sata and sli lines up with the bracket mounting..

I cannot verify all external drive enclsures but it works on mine which I regard as typical.

There is a 3.5" to 2.5" metal bracket in the resellers box.bare drive version is just a bare drive.

The connector/size is the same. But not sure whether the chipset on this enclosure would support.

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

No, there are only three external 5.25 bays. You would need to convert one of them.

I use an external cradle to mount the drive. Since the drive is completely sealed, it's not an issue. I have three cradles that hold five drives and have yet to have any problems.

NO. I found the "yes" answer so I bought this connector. But the reviewer is WRONG. The connector fits but now I know that a 3.5" drive needs 12V power and he's full of it. WILL NOT WORK ON 3.5 inch drives!

I have used Seagate and Western Digital 3.5" SATA Hard Drives in this enclosure. It should not matter what make drive it is, so long as your OS supports the size you plan to install (i.e. 2TB or 3TB)

Well I've never mounted this type of drive into and external enclosure but I'm fairly certain (about 85%) that you'll need more power than what a USB 2.0 can supply. Then again, I could be wrong.

I do not think there is room for a third 3.5" drive. It will be tight enough with just the two drives and the 5.25". You would need excellent cable management in the case. It is roomy and an easy build, and it looks great, but I wouldn't push the manufacturer's specs too much. http://www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=241

You can, but you need to buy and 2.5"-3.5" adapter. Such a drive can then make use of the bottom bay, which is otherwise too thin to hold a regular 3.5" drive. My system mounts a 2.5" drive in this manner.

This should be compatible with it. Any 2.5 HDDs I have used have been compatible with it.

No 6 3.5" drives won't fit.there are 4 3.5" hot swap bays and 2 internal 2.5" drive bays

Standard will work. I put a dead drive in the case to mount the drive cover. Drive needs to be in case for you to be able to use the cover.

SATA III is backwards-compatible with SATA II and SATA I. So this enclosure should work, it will just run at SATA II speed instead of SATA III, which won't make a difference anyway because USB 3.0 is only 1 GBps and SATA II is 3.0 GBps...

Hello Tom....I'm not sure... I'm using it on a 500GB sata II.... But since it is USB 3.0 I don't think why it wont handle it. Anyway.... Read my post... The enclosure itself is very nice but for some reason the deive keeps disconnecting and reconecting..... I think it is a connector design issue.

Yes but you will need to order the bracket from the company for installing a 3x5 HD.
