I am trying to fit a 3.5” hard drive into a small form factor case. I noticed that my hard drive is actually 3 7/8” wide and 5 ¾” long and 15/16” tall. The space available is 3 5/8” wide. Exactly 3 5/8” wide. No cutting or adjusting will make the space larger.

Were can I find closer to 3.5” hard drive? I thought about using a laptop hard drive but the max size is 250GB and the price is high.

Do you know where I can find physical sizes for hard drives? Do certain manufactures make slim 3.5” drives or list the physical dimensions?

Any help is much appreciated,

Thank you

Yes, thats the way Ive learned that 3.5" form factor drives are. The disk is 3.5" inside. Standard drive slot space is 4 inches wide.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you.
