I just looked in today's sale ad for Comp USA and only see one for 3" and
Best Buy add for today has only the 3". I looked on the web site
www.geeks.com and saw that someone has seen them for 2 1/2" , 3" and 5 1/2"
but not 4".
Let me know if you come across one for the 4".
Thanks for your consideration and assistance!!!

Plato........see below.........do you think that 3.5"/5.25" means that it
will fit everything from 3.5" through 5.25"?

Where do you get that four-inch number?

If you are measuring the width, that isn't the measurement that they
are talking about -- it's the platter width inside.
You are holding a 3.5 inch drive.
Other common sizes are 2.5 inch and 5.25 inch.
(Not 3, 4, or 5.5)

So you are trying to find an enclosure for a 3.5 inch drive.

That would be most of them.

Mitch,
Thanks a million!!!!!!!!!!

CD drives are only 5.25"; I wouldn't be surprised if the hard drive
bracket were big enough for 5.25", too; probably the same piece.

I found some good prices and unusual enclosures on newegg.com before:

http://www.newegg.com/ProductSort/Su...SubCategory=92

I'm not sure everyone's experience with newegg has been positive,
though. Mine was good.

ebay. I've bought several there for around $11 to $13 after shipping.

Just a note - that's a 3.5" drive.

Try measuring the WIDTH not the DEPTH - that is,the size between the
mounting holes, not from IDE connector to front.

THAT said - if you're in the USA (hard to say, no hints from you),
try www.geeks.com and check their drive enclosures.
