Does this unit come with the optional 2.5" Disk Holder? for the small drives?

If my memory serves me correctly I'm pretty confident that it does, i recall installing 3.5 and it was extremely easy, and there was another space for the 2.5 as well.

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.

Mine did not but I purchased it a while back now so the shipped contents may have changed. I'm still extremely pleased with mine (I have two)

Nope, as its 2.5", just plug it in and way you go. It comes with AC power for the 3.5" disks

NOThis unit is designed to host 3 x 3.5" drives in the same space as it would take to put 2 optical drives or 2 x 5.25" floppy drives (no longer in use but still the original reason for the space requirement).Furthermore, I would NOT recommend this unit because it requires the use of "trays" in which the hard drives must be mounted before they can be used. If you should, in the future, decide to use a "hot-swappable" method for accessing hard drives, find one that is "trayless."

Yes, if you have 2.5 inch bays. I'd also buy a drive caddy in case you don't have a spare

There are different ways to interpret your question - physical size of storage capacity. Of course it will handle any disk capacity but it will only hold 3-1/2 inch physical size drives.I think a handy solution to support 3-1/2" or 2-1/2" drives is the "Snap-In 25 adapter from Addonics.Have a look at Addonics Storage Bay Adapter AE25SN35SA or for information from the source's mouth: http://www.addonics.com/products/ae25sn35sa.php

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?

No. The model I have will accept either a 2.5" drive OR a 3.5" drive, but they cannot be inserted simultaneously. I have been very please with the product, and do not consider this a limitation. Should you need to transfer data between two external HDDs, an inexpensive enclosure would allow you to do so.

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

The one I purchased will just hold IDE 3.5" drives. I've been using it for a few months now with no hiccups.

The 5.25" drive slot on the top of the machine is shipped empty. However, I bought some 5.25" to 3.5" rails and mounted another hard disk up in that slot. It works like a charm. I use that as my boot disk and all of the Plug-and-Play slots (warning: not hot swappable) as my data drives.Currently running Windows 7 x64 on it with 8GB of ECC RAM. The thing is an absolute beast.

Yes, it does. However after a few month of use, the two halves of the base of CD mount started to separate due to the way it tightens using a screw drive.

3.5" drives, but can't say how useful it will be, haven't had a chance to try it yet.

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.

No, this unit is for the standard 3.5 floppy disc. I do not know of any portable drives available for the 5.25., but you might search for a used internal drive for your tower. I discarded my 5.25 discs because of this obsolescence . Best info I have.

No. All necessary mounting hardware comes with the unit also the unit already has drive slots.

No. Order the correct size HDD enclosure. I think it's a 2.5". Or, get one of the docking stations.

Yes this caddy accepts a 2.5" SATA drive and fits into the CD bay once the CD is removed. The drive functions as an alternative drive and can be used as a boot drive if it contains an OS.
