## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this fit a 7mm, 9mm, or 12mm (or all three) thickness types of 2.5 drives?**
A: The answers you have received are correct. This is designed for the 7mm and 9mm 2.5" drives that are 2TB or smaller. However, I can admit that without the outter case on (like John said) it will work with 12mm drives. I currently have 2x 5TB Seagates 12mm drives in mine. You just have to live with the drives showing. As for String Theory's answer, putting Firecuda SSHD's is a good idea only if you are using them as single drives or Raid 1. Raid 0 eliminates the use of the SSD caching system like indicated over on the Seagate website.

**Q: How many GB does it have?**
A: To make sure what the topic is here, my comments are just about the Vantec enclosure and not about whatever drive + enclosure Vantec may sell. My drive, for what it's worth, though, and it doesn't matter, was a 225 GB HP drive pulled out of motherboard-fried HP laptop. I wanted to keep it because there was nothing wrong with it to hook as an external USB drive to either my desktop or a tablet.

**Q: Can this be powered by sata port?**
A: Thanks for asking.
This 2.5" drive enclosure (NST-266SU3-BK) has two external interfaces, eSATA or USB 3.0.
If you are using USB 3.0 connection, the USB 3.0 cable will provide power to the drive, this called Bus-powered.
If you are using eSATA, it comes with eSATA cable and a power cable to connect and get power via USB port.
Here is a link to the QIG that shows the connection in step6 and step7. https://www.vantecusa.com/CKEdit/images/files/nst-266su3_qig_copy.pdf
This is not an eSATAp device.

**Q: Has anyone converted their old ps4 hdd using this?**
A: I just upgraded my ps4 hd to a 2tb and used this device to turn my original 500gig into an external for my WiiUWorked like a charm
