Question 1

IS THIS READER 3.5" SIZE?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it fits in a 3.5" bay.  There were not any mounting holes on the bottom of the unit, but have the standard side holes like a floppy drive.  My customer was very happy and bought a second for another system.

Question 2

Please explain all the connector types that are required for connections to the motherboard.?

Accepted Answer

This unit's wire connectors are nicely designed, much better than the older units I have installed - there are 3, plus the 2 wire standard power connector. The connectors are a female 9 pin for UBS, a female 19 pin for USB3 and the SATA connector. These are ~27" long. A reason for fewer connections is the unit doesn't have audio I/O, or firewire.

Question 3

What size drive bay does this require?

Accepted Answer

Full height, same as a burner.
