Can both the 3.5" and 2.5" slots be occupied simultaneously?
1443637
No, it is not possible, but this shouldn't be a handycapp in order that any operation with a hard drive is made on a single way.
1443638
I am not sure I understand the question. As the photo depicts, when you insert the hard drive, the entire "bay" or space is occupied.
1443639
No they cannot. When using the 3.5 inch slot, that fills the entire space of the drive container.

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.

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.

Well, its not a typical case. The 5.25" bay converts into two 2.5" bays. Then there's a permanent 2.5" hanging spot just below it. In addition to that, there are two modular slots for either 3.5" or 2.5" spots that have all the necessary mounting parts for them. So in theory you can run 5 SSDs if you want, or you can run 3 hard drives and 1 SSD, or you can run 1 CD-ROM, 1 SSD and 2 hard drives. The 5.25" bay can hold either 1 CD, 1 3.5" or 2 2.5" drives.

There are two full sized slots available, so yes provided you don't have those filled.

No, you can not. The device takes 3.5 inch drives and can not use 2.5 inch drives.

No, the socket is too deep. If you got the same but with a double socket, the there would be room.

I'm not sure, but I don't see why not. It should be easy since it's a wide body tower. Looking at the back, I see 3 expansion slots, so I would assume that you can.

Yes, I tried it just while ago.Actually, one card fits each slot.Two for one is rather tight.But it's not impossible.
833371
Yes. Although if you want to use both at the same time, you'll need an adapter
1462623
This will have the slot for both, but it might work once or twice. I have talk to many people, all said that it's not worth it to buy.

Naturally no, but its potentially possible to use 2 of these at the same time if you buy an adapter that allows for dual monitors.

I have 2 - 3.5" drives and one 2.5" drive. (The 2.5" drive isn't bolted in, just rests on top of the optical drive. You may be able to squeeze another but it is tight with the optical drive installed.

This takes 2 external 5.25 drivebays and allows the same space to accept 3 standard sized data HDs. I googled your case and the answer you're looking for is... Probably. Although on mine, I had tough clearance issues with the data cables clearing the power supply.

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

I cannot answer that question. I would guess it will not the 2.5" is the format for this unit.
1586735
Yes, you can do that. Some people just buy a second small one in the future and combine the two with a special connector. That way works too but sometimes it can be a problem. I would go with the bigger.

Yep, pretty sure there are three slots that handles 2 inches or more, one is for a cleaver, so its close to 3.5 inches.
