Is the hard drive easily separable from the case? What are the dimensions of the drive itself?

The hard drive is in a very attractive small metal case that measures about 4 in x 2 in x 1/2 in thick. It is not removable from the case.

I have not tried separating it from it's case. Looks like it is molded. quite solid. About the size of an iPhone.2 15/16 x 5 1/16 x 9/16"

It will probably fit the case OK. It is the right size to fit next to the motherboard. However, the wiring and adapters may or may not connect correctly due to different location and configurations of the different drives. Some modifications may be necessary!

Without knowing the size of the drive I can not answer. Look at the description for the product and it should give you the inside dimensions of the case to see whether it will fit or not.

Hello ADave, the one that I got was def. for a 3.5" drive. The drive that I installed into it came from a home "tower" style computer, Dell if I remember correctly. Have you tried to install a drive into it yet? The case for mine was actually quite a bit bigger than and drive, prob for heat dissipation, but def for a 3.5" drive. Mine works flawlessly and allowed me to recover the info I had in the computer that died. I now use it for a back up storage.

I would say no, the seagate is almost 5 inches long and the inside length of this case is about 4.5 inches.

Yes very tight but it will fit! Might have to buy a modular power supply so you can get more room and move the hard drive to the top bay or even mount it on the bottom or front of the case to free up some space but it will fit - just have to out think it!

Not very small , there's the disc which is about 12"around then the main body goes in two pieces about 2'.5" each. I have the case but it is very bulky, I only use it for storage. Travel by car is easy, I dont bother to take it apart, I cant say by plane since I've never done it.

Not sure but the internal dimensions are 3x5x1 so as long as your drive isn't bigger than that it will fit. It is a nice sturdy case tho.

Not 100% sure but I can only get my 1TB inside the case so anything slightly larger would be no.

Hard drives are usually 3.5 inches in width. Almost all conform to a industry standard SFF-8301 3.5

I never opened the case on this particular computer, before sending to a client. Like most computers of this type, there is usually extra sata power cables, and extra sata signal sockets on the motherboard. And the case is large enough to house an extra drive. Another option to consider is with the large capacity and very inexpensive usb drives out there, you could easily add an external drive to the computer.

The drive I have matches the specifications on http://amazon.com. Height of 6.2 inches, width of 1.7 inches and depth of 4.9 inches.

There is no magic here. There is a 3.5" SATA HDD inside the case. If you do a web search on 'teardown ST3000DM001' (or whatever model you choose) you can get instructions how to pull out the drive so you can install it inside any system. These are always cheaper than bare drives. Go figure. Of course you are likely to void your warranty in the process.

Dan...I'm afraid I don't know. I've only put the 1TB WD MyPassport in it. If the Seagate you're interested in has the same or smaller dimensions, then you'll be just fine. There isn't a lot of extra room in the case for a much larger drive.

3 15/16" wide, 3 3/4" deep, 1" tall. Fits perfectly into a 3.5" bay. The depth includes the faceplate, and that would be how deep the drive goes into the desktop case.

The Seagate Backup Plus should fit this case. I just measured mine and the inside dimensions of the case are 5 inches long and 3.25 inches wide. The online specs for the Seagate drive say that it is 4.9 inches by 3.2 inches. It ought to fit just fine but there won't be much (any) space left over. The thickness won't be a problem. Update: I need to revise what I said. I realized that the rounded corners make the useable space smaller and the actual dimensions of a drive can't exceed 3 inches by 5 inches. There's a good chance the Seagate drive will be just a tad too wide for this case.
