Scorpio blue hard drive enclosure

Good morning/Afternoon or Evening wherever you are :slight_smile:

I apologize if this has been covered already but I need to know if anyone has any information about where I may be able to get an enclosure for a Scorpio blue 1tb HDD I have removed from my WD Live box.

I can only find the typical 2.5 inch ones which are slightly (maybe 1mm/0.5mm) to thin to fit it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is not the recommended method of using this drive.

Check the following article for more information:

It’s most likely the 9.5mm model, so you need to find an enclosure for 9.5mm drives. Something like the following will take up to 12.5mm drives: http://www.startech.com/HDD/Enclosures/~SAT2510B12U3

That’s more than I could figure out. Thanks for the information and the equipment link, Zatick. :robothappy:

Thanks John012 and Zatick for your help. I’ll let you know how it goes when I get around to trying to sorting it out :slight_smile:
