    Use a 2.5" drive in a 3.5" drive enclosure?

    I know I am dense!!! The 2.5 drive plugs right into the socket in the Anted unit. Physically the drive lays right on the metal plate. So I don't need brackets, etc. to make it fit. Electrically is what concerns me. Since the pins and from what I have been able to find the voltages on...
