A 3.5" HDD requires 5V and 12V, got a new IronWolf 4TB and the current is 0.55A and 0.37A. A used Samsung 500GB 2.5" HDD I have at hand needs 5V at 0.85A. All voltages are DC.
Modern SATA 6 HDDs not fitting in external docks?

As I explained on sevenforums, the st2000 fits into the same caddy as the older seagate and wd disks.
For example it slides into this and onto the sata power and data connectors.

Not clear what your problem is.
The st2000 is a bit slimmer than many of the older grinders. The sata connectors are at the bottom so maybe try laying your dock on its back before sliding the st2000 in.Last edited by SIW2; 11 Mar 2024 at 14:07.

I was initially thinking the same thing. Then again, based on the spec sheets for this Seagate, they do refer to it as a hybrid drive. Seagate is very adamant they don't want it's users to mount their HDDs into a dock like the one I'm using. That's all they'll really say.
However, the fact remains, this damn Seagates won't fit into my existing Thermatake SATA6 dock no matter what I do. Like @Ghot wrote, it's not like I can force it like an assault rifle's magazine.

It's unfortunate you're overthinking this and unclear on what my issue is. I'm sorry, but I can't be any clearer. It doesn't fit. The end.

Ha. Thanks. Few ratings and not the best. I've added it to my wish list and keep occasionally looking back. But the last thing I want is for these Chinese no-name made docks or adapters to corrupt my HDD and destroying them. Oh, one more thing. None of these docks actually have a button that reduces friction or ejects the HDD. My thermaltake has that and without it, that can lead to HDD breakage as you're pulling it out.

I am going to put your rudeness down to ignorance. For the moment.
