HDD enclosure that will actually fit a Lenovo HDD properly

#1 Post by patient_ot » Sat Jun 19, 2010 7:11 am

Are there any good enclosures that will actually fit a Lenovo HDD properly? I bought an upgrade kit w/ an enclosure and cloning software but the enclosure doesn't really work right with a Lenovo HDD. I was able to get it to work but not without modifiying the enclosure in a way that won't really work for long term use. And yes, I did remove the rubber rails before trying to fit the HDD into the enclosure.

So, I need suggestions for an enclosure that will definitely work with my old Lenovo 2.5 HDD. I don't want to order one and then not have it work again.

Thanks.

2.5 " hard drives are standard. If you left the metal HDD caddy attached that might cause an issue with an enclosure.

Pardon my ignorance, but can you point me to directions on how to remove the "caddy". I don't want to unscrew something from the HDD that's not supposed to be unscrewed.

Thanks.

There are (2) screws on each side of the drive. Remove them and pull the caddy off.
