Am I being thick?
Another simple question again.
I thought 3.5" HDD drives were 3.5" because you get 3.5" bays.
But you also get slightly bigger bays?
(Not the 5.25" bays (which I have never measured before and was surprised to see that the CD ROM measures 14.5cm (nearly 5 3/4"))
Are the numbers based on the size of the actual disks?
Here is my confusion.
I have an older Aero cool 500 case.
Second hand.
It was missing one of the 3.5" bay trays, so I just ordered some cheap rails and thought nothing of it.
(Oh, and a cheap 2.5-3.5" adapter tray for my new SSD.)
But they don't fit, they just fall through.
So, I measured the HDD 10cm. (4").
The trays it comes with measure 4.5".
So, these trays are proprietary are they?
Or is it a different standard size?
My question is, what do I need to search for please?
Thanks
