Question 1

Hi!
is this enclosure for a 3.5 IDE Hd?

thanks!

Accepted Answer

Yes
I have a couple and they work flawlessly. Immediately recognized by Windows XP through 8 without any additional drivers.

I use just for IDE drives that are only occasionally on. I don't know about heat dissipation if they were to run continuously in a warm environment.

Question 2

I need to know if this product will fit an old Quantum Fireball HD in pulled off my parents computer? Part number QML40000LD-A 3.5 series.

Accepted Answer

While I don't own the particular drive you inquire about, I do own this enclosure and I would say that this product would fit.  The hdd I have in this enclosure measures approximately 4inX5.75inX1in. From what information I could find about your hdd, its dimensions are about the same and it uses the PATA (IDE) interface (flat ribbon data cable) . This enclosure has a small segment of both the ribbon cable and a 4-pin molex power connector.

Question 3

Will this enclosure work for Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 80gb SATA internal hard drive?  My Dell desktop's motherboard went bad and I'm trying to recover data from the internal disc.

Accepted Answer

Ron - the "RX35-AT-IU SLV" will not work for your SATA hard drive  because it has an IDE interface.  You need to get an external enclosure with a SATA interface, like this one: "RX35-AT-SC BLK"

Question 4

anybody else have issues with this enclosure powering a maxtor hdd? I did.

Accepted Answer

I bought this a few months ago to place my wifes old hard drive in that I removed from her old, dead cpu. I had no issues with the install or recovery of information.

Question 5

What are the internal drive connections?  IDE or SATA or both?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the model you purchase. The one I bought has an IDE data connector and a molex power connector.

Works well with the older 15 (yes 15) gig hard drive I installed. Rosewill is an exellent brand that I would recommend to anyone. Never had any problems with their products.

Just be sure to specify which model you want when you add it to your cart.

Happy building!

Question 6

will this work with a seagate Momentus 5400.2 80GB, ultra ATA ?

Accepted Answer

If it is a standard size hard drive and will fit in the case.  I used it for a standard size Western Digital 3200.

Question 7

I need to know if this product will fit a quantum fireball HD I pulled out of my parents old computer? Part number QML40000LD-A 3.5 series.

Accepted Answer

Looks like it should. This enclosure is very versatile and should fit all 3.5 IDE HDDs. I was able to pull an old seagate out of another enclosure and put into this this one with no trouble at all.

Question 8

Does this really have a limit of 320GB?

Accepted Answer

It does not. I have a 1 TB hard drive in mine and it works great.

Question 9

I have an old 40pin hard drive 80 GB. Would this be compatible?

Accepted Answer

I have two of these and am running old Western Digital 80GB drives in them.

Question 10

does this product have a 4 pin ac adaptor for power?

Accepted Answer

The simple answer to your question is: No.  I'm not sure if you mean "4 pins" on the AC (input) or DC (output) side.  The power supply as supplied has a 2 pin input standard for U.S. 120 volt AC power.

The power supply will accept 100 - 220 volt, 50 - 60 Hz AC, but you will need a pin adapter to plug it in to a non-U.S. standard source.

The output is 12 volts DC up to 2 Amps of current.  The output connector is a single hollow pin, with the positive connection on the inside of the pin, and the negative connection on the outside.
