Will this handle 5.25 inch floppy disks?

The one I bought does not. It takes the smaller one, 3.5 is the measurement, I think.

Unfortunately no. The slot is only wide enough for a 3.5 in disk. To physically get a 5.25 inch floppy in this drive you would definitely destroy the disc and almost certainly the drive as well.

Beware!!! The PDF data sheet link for the Lacie states it's for 3.5 inch floppy discs.Do the research before you buy this if you absolutely need a drive to read/write to 5.25 inch discs.

Yes. This dock fits two 3.5 inch disks. The pull out port does accept a full size 3.5 inch disk.

I really don't know, but my guess is no. I'm using the standard 1.44 MB 3.5" discs with mine, and they fit and work perfectly.Since you have 5.25 discs, somewhere there must be a drive that fits them. You might look on EBay, or at a computer/electronics store. If this is some "vintage" size of disc, EBay might be your best bet.Where did you get the discs?I wish you success!

Steve, that sounds like a standard 3.5" Form Factor akin to the Seagate ST500NM0001, whose dimensions are 5.78x4.010x1.028 then it should work just fine. If you can find the model number on the drive, it would make it easier to check for sure.

I think you can use any 5.25" drive. The drive itself doesn't sit flush. There is a plate that you attach to the DVD drive drawer with two sided tape. I like this case a lot. My advice for the DVD face plate would be to dry-fit it until you get the drive in the right place. Then, use shims of Manila folder paper to space the plate up a little. Mine hits the case a little opening and closing. Not a problem but would be silent otherwise.

no problem, it can fit 2.5" 500GB Hard Drive. you find the suitable product, hope you enjoy it.thanks.

probably not, it's slightly thicker than a normal 2.5" HDD. I wouldn't suggest buying one anyway. I had 2 fail on me virtually out of the box.

I do not know if that will fit. I have only used the slim 2.5" drives. My use is for a controller for a CNC router with an ATOM processor and a small disk drive as my storage requirements are minimal. At 15mm thick I suspect that the drive might be too tall. Check the Antec web site and see if they list specifics for the drive size.

I don't imagine there are too many variations in size for disc drives but I can't validate that statement. However, I used this with an Silverstone FT03 tower, so if the size requirements are the same, then it fits. Make sure you purchase an adapter as this was made for lap tops.

Yes it will. 5.75 x 4 inch hard drives are actually 3.5" HDD. With a small caddy this can even hold 2.5" HDD's as well.As long as the drive is Serial ATA (SATA) and not parallel ATA (IDE) you will be golden.

No. The 5.25 measurement refers to the size of the component that can be mounted inside. For example, you can mount a hard drive the size of 3.5 in this case. You could mount a DVD or CD/DVD in this size case--don't think you need moun ting rails for those. You would still need to buy mounting rails. ($3-5 depending on where you buy them.) That said...if you are looking for something to read the big Ol floppies, this ain't it. In fact, this may not be suitable for and internal mount 3.5 diskette device...I think it has the wrond style connectors--I have to get a different device...a USB Portable Diskette Drive-got it here on Amazon...do a search, I don't know the link. I believe the same manufacture makes a USB 5.25 Portable Drive. Down side is that I have read other people having trouble running it from anything newer than an XPPro. I use it on my XPPro and it runs fine. On my Win 7 it runs sporadically. It comes with a device drive disk and You MUST install the driver... continue the drive install even if your computer says it is not installed correctly or is incompatible...etc. Mine said that but it did install. CAVEAT!!! ALWAYS make a restore point before you install software--whether certain or uncertain...nothing saves and comforts your frustreated butt like a restore point!

Hi Walter. This drive works on 3.5 disks. It worked very well reading my old 3.5 floppies when attached to my iMac and my PC.

I think it can. The unit replaces the floppy drive. Better yet try a flash drive. &gt; Any way get the unit with the digital displays. I have the same unit pictured installed in a machine. use it to load programs into a cnc. Works fine.

Yes it will. You will need a HDD/SSD mounting kit for 2.5" drives. Hope this helps

Hi Jim, not think you have any problems, disk size and connectors are equal, it should work perfectly.

Sorry man, I'm not sure. But if it could fit standard 3.5 inch drive type of HDD mounting, if should fit.

No, it does not.I had to have a computer built from 'junk' parts to read 5 1/4 inch floppy diskettes.I researched this problem thoroughly and I found an 'adapter' that 'supposedly' interfaced a 5 1/4 inch drive, it was 50 bucks wasted.The drive you see here reads and writes 3 1/2 inch 1.44Mbyte 'floppies ONLY.I hope this helps.Bill P.
