"Can be used with 2.5-inch internal IDE drives (such as hard drives) -
9.5mm Maximum thickness". I also note that this one has "16MB RAM",
which (if controller cashe) will speed up data transfers. Also, keep in
mind that this particular one will only fit 2.5 HDs. If you already
have a spare HD, purchase a case that will fit it. I have been
considering getting a second (incase my backup HD goes belly up).
I have purchased the 3.5 enclosures in the past, then dropped an 80 GB
IDE HD into the case. Great backup solutions (especially if hurricane
is on horizon). Some, for a bit more, will also have both USB &
Firewire support. Have even seen a few (for $140 or more) that work as
NAS (card pulls IP through cat 5 connection, with simple HTML interface
used for managment).
