you may not be able to eject it using the system the box has, depends if you have braces also in the front. but yes, it should work.
you need a enclosure that keeps the connection from a 3.5" drive, something like this https://www.startech.com/uk/HDD/Brackets/2-5-to-3-5-hard-drive-adapter-enclosure~25SAT35HDD , probably can find less expensive, if it's a SSD drive, than just sticking the drive in the box should be enough, because movement does matter for SSD like it does for HDD
Just been looking at the first link also Just installed albeit a good few years old 1tb samsung 3.5 drive and found it a bit noisy distracting ( humming ) when zidoo on . But id imagine the new 3.5 drives are a lot quiter now ? Or go smaller 2.5 inch drive internal . My portable usb 3.0 hard drive is silent i find . So debating which is the best option and less clutter etc Thanks
Yah. I got me a 4tb 5400 rpm HDD just to have less noise, works good so far. Keep in mind also that zidoo has no rubber like in usb enclosure.
Hello delucas, i have a WD red (5400 Tr/mn), and it is very quiet Does not take a 7200Tr / mn see you
Id imagine you do not need the fast action spin ( 7200 rpm ) on just playing back movies etc So will look in to a slower spin model . And was thinking on the WD Thanks
Also looking at the Samsung 850 1 tb evo ssd overkill but silent But so expensive at circa £279.00 plus mounting bracket .
true. i got a seagate barracuda 4Tb 5400 RPM, i still get 113 MB write speed over lan, so you won't miss 7200 rpm at all, for the same price you can get a 3TB ironwolf (NAS hdd, same 5400 rpm ) depends on what you want from the drive, i don;t plan to run it 24/7 so i went for more space 5400 RPM is quieter than the x10 fan, so a SSD won't help much you will still need the fan ON for cooling
