[QUOTE="Kaleen Bhaiya, post: 2380105, member: 32007"] If you are going to use 2.5" hdd in a 3.5" space, then you will need to use a spacer to fit your drive which will involve use of 4 screws(2 on each side), so your hdd will be stable. Regardless, HDD these days are very fragile and not durable as they used to be 10-15 years ago due to competition and companies cheaping out on reliability. Or invest in a drive which offers 5y warranty if data to be stored is important. It will cost you a premium. My Seagate 320 gb brought in 2006 is still going strong while a 1TB and a 2TB external Seagate brought in 2012 went bad pretty early. [/QUOTE]
