The thickness of 0.6" is measure from INSIDE or OUTSIDE? My 2.5" 1TB HDD is about 0.6" thick. Can I use this enclosure ?

Not sure, I actually used this for a friend and no longer have this item. I will say that I've used this item several times with a couple different manufacturers (WD, Seagate, etc.) and have not had an issue with any of the HDD not fitting. Hope this helps.

There are two sizes of HDD: 2.5", which are the drives you find in laptops, and 3.5" which are the drives you find in desktop computers. This enclosure is for the 3.5" HDD.

I do not know if that will fit. I have only used the slim 2.5" drives. My use is for a controller for a CNC router with an ATOM processor and a small disk drive as my storage requirements are minimal. At 15mm thick I suspect that the drive might be too tall. Check the Antec web site and see if they list specifics for the drive size.

Hello ADave, the one that I got was def. for a 3.5" drive. The drive that I installed into it came from a home "tower" style computer, Dell if I remember correctly. Have you tried to install a drive into it yet? The case for mine was actually quite a bit bigger than and drive, prob for heat dissipation, but def for a 3.5" drive. Mine works flawlessly and allowed me to recover the info I had in the computer that died. I now use it for a back up storage.

I have a Western Digital "2.5-inch" drive installed in this enclosure. The model is: WD7500BPKT. This drive measures 2.75" x 3.75" and it looks like it fits securely. It doesn't look like your drive will fit if it is 3" in width.

I just measured mine. It is 5/16th of an inch thick. So that's slightly thicker than one-fourth of an inch.

So long as it is a standard 3.5-inch SATA drive, you should be fine. If, for some reason, your HDD is overly chunky due to the capacity, the lid may not go back on flush, but other than that, you should have no problems at all.

The HD you list has an enclosure what happened to it. A bare 2.5 HD should fit. If your enclosure is damaged remove it and check to see if the HD has a standard plug.

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.

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

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.

Not really. I had a 2.5 SSD that I wanted to boot from in this case, so I just used velcro to stick the 2.5 to the floor of the case and then put my 3TB 3.5 in the HDD enclosure.HTH

My Sabrent enclosure is different from your choise. My enclosure contains four small screws that are easy to open and close. It is a little time consuming if you intend to use several 2.5-inch HDDs and replacing them frequently.

Contrary to what James and Jerry said, not all SATA drives will fit. Only drives that are thinner (shorter) than 12.7mm tall will fit. You can fit a thicker HDD in the caddy, but the caddy can't fit back into the computer. I tried it with a thicker drive and it simply won't work. Historically, 2.5" drives came as thick as 19mm, and some are still listed on amazon. For example search amazon for Toshiba-213mb. Most current model 2.5" SATA drives are thin enough, but check your specs carefully on the manufacturer's website.

I don't plan on transporting my drive anywhere, so I haven't tried using any cases with it. However based on the descriptions the case you mentioned was designed to fit a drive slightly smaller than the 2TB WD drive you are using. So I would say that you may want to keep looking.

This is not a hard drive. This is just a case/enclosure to use your 2.5 (laptop hard disk is 2.5) inch internal harddrive as external drive, if you don't wish to discard your internal HDD.
