will a 2.5 in sata-III HD work in this enclosure?

It should work. Most Sata 3 will be backward compatible with sata2, which runs only 3G/s not 6G/s.

Hi James, Yes, the interface is SATA III. I am using a SATA III 1TB HDD in mine. This enclosure is solid, built well, keeps drives cool and swapping drives in and out is easy! If your looking for super compact, it is not. It is still small since it takes 2.5 inch HDD's but definitely not the smallest. I love it because I plan on putting the 2.5 inch 1TB Velociraptor inside of it and I know it won't over heat and it will fit the 15MM thickness.

Should. Only one dimension is verified. Pull the other two dimensions from the manufacturer's white sheet to make sure.

This enclosure will work with any HD 1tb to 2tb or smaller size . It's very good that two ports are on it making it very easy to use.

As long as the drive has the appropriate connector then yes, it will. I've plugged the SATA end into a 3.5" HDD and the ESATA end into a ESATA port on the back of a PC. Most 3.5 drives have that typical SATA connector. You will have to get power to the drive separately though, just so you are aware.

Yes, you have a SATA controller so this drive will work. You should be able to install an even larger drive if you want as well.

This enclosure is made for 3.5 HHD only, however, if one uses a 3.5 to 2.5 HDD Bay Converter, it 'll take any 2.5 HHD as well.

I can't be positive since I don't have that model to test, but it has worked with every SATA drive I used it with, 9 so far, from 300GB to 2TB. Unless there is something very unique about it, there is no reason it won't work. The relatively small size should have no effect if the drive is in working condition.

Will only fit 3.5" drives. You have to get your own adapters if you want to fit 2.5" drives.

I have a Seagate 750 Gb 2.5 SATA drive installed in this enclosure and it works flawlessly.

The official website says that it does fit a 2.5" SATA drive. It also shows the bracket mount. Is the model number wrong here?

I cannot say as I do not have an enclosure that big. Their website says tested up to 3TB though. http://plugable.com/products/usb3-sata-u3

yes it will work on sata 2 & 3 and its backward compatible means it will go back from 3 to 2 . you will like it

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.

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.

It should work fine, though I haven't used that brand drive myself. It's the correct type (SATA III).

It should work if you have a SATA drive. You need to correctly open and mount the drive into the enclosure and snap the enclosure closed.

If it works with SATA/PATA/IDE drives of any kind, then yes it will. But be warned, make sure that you get one that's working properly and undefective, perferably a new one. Trust me, I got mine new and it works fine.

Yes, it will work. It supports both IDE and SATA. Make sure to use the proper connection.

Please be more specific in your question. Example: is the WDC WD5000BPKT-22PK4T0 ATA Device Manufacturer Western Digital Form Factor GB/2.5 compatible in a 3.5" SATA II installation. Answer: Yes. Please use adapter rails to install the device inside you computer.
