Hard drive enclosure adapter

[Eagle784]

I was jsut wondering if this was possible, and if someone could point me to the correct parts. This is the specific case I want it to fit in if it matters. Thanks for your help.

Hi, It's possible. The adaptor is available. Just search for a 2 1/2" to 3 1/4" hard drive adaptor. They can be had with the brackets to mount the 2 1/2" into a 3 1/4" drive bay, but the brackets may not work in the external enclosure. Price is usually in the $10.00 range. 2 1/2" enclosures are sometimes around $20.00 at the computer shows and wont need the adaptor. Check around.

Good Luck, Jim

You can use the adapter from CompUSA to put a laptop drive into the 3.5 enclosure. I do it everyday while at work.

It's a very simple device - here's what mine looks like:

2.5

I would sell the 2.5 and buy a bigger 3.5 for the money you get.
