No, the drive is supported on a narrow ledge inside the box on the sides. There is no adapter for smaller drives

I am wondering the same question, but I would find it strange that the power supply would be needed for a 2.5" drive. 2.5" (laptop) drives run at 5V (same as USB). The power supply is a 12V power supply (which is what all 3.5" drives need: 12V power, thus they aren't able to be powered by USB). Every other adapter like this I have seen and used did NOT require the power supply for 2.5" drives. So, it is possible the power is needed, but it seems strange to me that it would be required.

I tried it with a 3.5 inch hard drive and couldn't get it to work. It uses the USB port to supply power to the hard drive and the sata drive would not start. I tried a different adapter that used power from an AC outlet and that one worked great. I was able to connect to my laptop via USB and get all the data off of the drive. Not sure I am allowed to say which drive that was but I can tell you it cost less too.

I have tried it, and you are correct. The USB port on your PC or laptop does not provide enough power for this interface (or likely any other) to run a 3.5" drive. It does, however, work even with the double-height 2.5" drives.For a 3.5" drive, you need an interface that has an external power adapter.

Yes, it should work w/ any 2.5" SATA drive. I've been using it for the past year w/o any problems (knock on wood)

it supports full Sata III with USB3.0 but 3Gbs with esata cable..... which is what i use. It is very fast and by far the best Hard Drive Enclosure for 2.5-Inch hard drive i have ever used bar none !

The sata connection should be the same but you will need adapter to hold the 2.5 drive in place.

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.

This product was design to convert a 2.5in hard drive work in a 3.5in drive bay. I would NOT use the product for any externally application. Also, there numerous low cost external USB non-volatile storage (USB Thumb, SD Cards ... Hard drives) available.

I personally have a 2TB installed, so i cannot speak for that. But i don't think it's an issue, since it's just a normal SATA to USB adapter, i don't think that there's going to be an issue with using a 3TB Drive or larger.

I believe your hard drive is 2.5 inch. Check the specification of the cable wether it is a ZIF type or PATA/etc.

Unfortunately there is no 2.5" hard drive mounting configuration. However, you can pick up a 2.5 to 3.5" hard drive mounting bracket for about $4 on Amazon. Then you will be able to install a 2.5" Hard Drive into this In Win case. I love that case. It's made very well just lacking in a 2.5" drive 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.

I'm pretty sure it did not. My computer came with drive cages that will accommodate either 3.5 or 2.5, so I did need one.

Greetings, Yes, absolutely. The SATA port supports both 2.5" hard drives and Solid State Drives.Best regards,MITXPC

No. It does not come with a 2.5 adapter. I wish it did. I actually had to use a 2.5" drive when the 3.5" WD Green that I originally installed died. I was able to connect the 2.5" drive but there was no way to secure it in position. I had to use tape temporarily.

An internal SATA 3.5" or 2.5" (2.5" needs a bracket to hold the HDD) would be compatible with this system, Western Digital and Seagate are both ok with this system, thank you.
