    do you have any spare 5.25'' bays that you could buy an adapter for ? I really wouldn't recommend leaving a drive just sitting there, given how sensitive they are to vibrations/shock

    Hey Deano, the bay fits several drives but I'm having a hard time finding the plastic sliders or rails that sit the hdd in. Its a HP and the only spares I could get me hands on were Dell and they wouldn't fit. I looked on ebay and couldn't see the right ones. The drive has been sitting in its box since xmas and I was hopingto use it as my other one is full.
