Disk Caddy

physical size - First, make sure you are clear on the hard disk size that you like it will be critical. Discs generally Available in three sizes 1.8 ", 2.5" and 3.5 "with 2.5" and 3.5 "is by far the most popular.

But beware its not good to take your ruler and measure to try the hard drive to see which one you have because the sizes refer to the "disc tray" inside the enclosure. These dimensions were developed as a short hand description over the years and are commonly used to describe the size of the hard disk and hard disk enclosures they fit.

The actual physical dimensions of each size of hard drive (if you want measuring a) are as follows:

1.8 "HDD 54 mm x 8 mm x 71 mm
2.5 "drives are drvie 9.5 to 15 mm x 69.85 mm x 100 mm
3,5 "Hard drives are 101.6 mm x 25.4 mm x 146 mm

The 1.8 "Disks are typically used in digital audio players, computers Portable and very small, 2.5 "drives are usd in the standard laptop and hard drives 3.5" Desktop

There is another "trap" to be aware of the measure for the size of 2.5 "Hard Disks and that they come in different thicknesses (height) with 9.5 mm being the default standard, but 12.5mm used by some manufacturers of hard drives for readers of the first generation of high capacity. Most of 2.5 "HDD Caddy is designed for 9.5 mm thick hard drives and will not support the larger version of 12.5 mm.

IDE or SATA - Your hard drive enclosure must support the interface on the end of the disk drive. Your hard drive will either have an IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) interface (Subsequently renamed ATA) or SATA (Serial ATA) interface. The IDE / ATA interface is fairly easy to identify because it has 2 rows of pins (40 total) then Pine extra for the "jumper" settings. SATA drives do not pine as such, but two flat connectors chat type.

Interface - Once you have worked what size hard drive you have and what the interface is on the end of it then you need to think about how you want the case of hard drive you will put the drive in to connect to your PC. There are 3 basic options:

• USB
• eSATA
• Firewire
• Combinations of the above, for example, USB and Firewire

USB is by far the option The most popular and offers USB 2.0 data transfer speeds are good and broadly comparable to Firewire 400. If you have SATA on your PC and you can enjoy a connection of eSATA hard drive caddy, then the data transfer speed will be about X3 times that of USB 2.0 or Firewire.

Powering the hard disk enclosure - 1.8 "2.5" Hard Drive Enclosures are supplied by the bus - which is their power consumption from the USB port to run the hard drive and power unit. Most of these small boxes are provided with what is commonly considered a "Y" cable. These cables have a unique connection to the enclosure and allow the other end to be connected to two separate USB ports. Sometimes, the maximum 500mA a USB port can provide is not enough to turn the disk to connect the second cable will provide the necessary power (note:. using the second driver is not always necessary, it depends on the hard drive and if you use your USB ports are delivering a true 500 mA output)

All 3.5 "enclosures are supplied with a Power / PSU of the enclosure.

Fans - None of the smaller speakers are available with or need a fan, but some of the larger 3.5 "enclosures do Typically, the fan can be independently enabled / disabled, but if you buy a good quality. aluminum casing, then the fans may be more difficult than they are worth. The housings are designed to dissipate the heat if they could all get a little warm in the addition of a fan can make it noisy and intrusive.

There are other less tangible considerations such as design, color, flashing lights, but most of them are just a matter of personal choice. The key is to buy the right speaker for you hard drive with the correct interface of the enclosure to your PC. Do not always buy the cheapest, either because there are no attachments very well done. Read reviews from other customers or talk to people who have used them or sell them and the get them to recommend a solution for you.

Caddy (Hardware) $95.59 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles In computer hardware, a caddy refers to a sheath used to hold some media. If the medium is a hard disk drive, the caddy is also referred to as a disk enclosure, which is discussed there. It also refers to optical disks, such as CDROMs, which are the focus of this article. The purpose of a disk caddy is to protect the disk from damage when handling; their use dates back to at least the Capacitance Electronic Disc in 1976, and they were used in initial versions of Bluray Discs, though newer versions use hardcoating technology to prevent scratches and do not need a caddy. Caddies may be an integral part of the media, or separately attached. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Tennoe, Mariam T./ Henssonow, Susan F.
