Hello, I would like to buy an enclosure for my hard drive, but I'm not sure if it's 2.5 inches or 3.5 inches or something else. It's an 80 GB Seagate and the dimensions are not written on it, help please.

Is the connection a napple or SATA?  If it's a napple, you should know if it's a large or small one.  Otherwise, take a clear photo and post it.

You're starting to get on our nerves, it's not complicated, you take a ruler,  you measure your diagonal and convert it to inches.  We're giving you the conversion table.   I don't see where the difficulty is!!!

I think this is the dumbest topic that has the most replies   You need a ruler, you measure the diagonal and I already told you that   1 inch = 2.54 centimeters!!!

Putin, it's not hard to know; if it's in a desktop PC, it's definitely a 3.5", do you think manufacturers bother to create suspense and put 2.5" drives in 3.5" bays...
