Hi

Can anyone confirm what HDD is used in these external cases-2.5 or 3.5?

I have read on MTAU and elseware that others have bought the case to nick the drive out of and using it in a MB or MBP
I have one sitting around doing nothing and my Macbooks drive is dead,looking at the case it appears to big to be a 2.5.

So before I pull apart a perfectly good ext HD can anyone confirm?

Thanks

Dan

what sort of plug does it have? ATA type Plug? And have you tried measuring it?

Apparantly they are sata,the drive is still in the case, so I cant measure or see it, its only a couple of weeks old, and the case is going to cop some damage to get it apart.

I only bought it as it was on special for 90 bucks, and now the MB has a dead HD it seem's like a good idea.
There was a thread on MTAU that others have done it (cant find it now)
