Scythe quiet drive questions (5.25 version)

Hi,
I'm thinking of getting a 5.25 inch scythe quiet drive enclosure for my HDD. Before I do, I have 2 questions :
- Can you remove the rubber mounts on the side of the enclosure ?
- if yes, how wide would that make the enclosure (in other words, how thick are the rubber mounts) ?

Thank you for your answers !!!

Hello.

Here and here is your answer.

135mm

Thanks for that quick reply

!!!

This is bigger than I thought...

...

How hard is it to squeeze this thing in a 5.25'' bay (~135mm) ? Scythe's website says the enclosure is 145mm wide... Seems that you have to squeeze a whole centimetre out of the rubber mounts

!!!

I just measured an old optical drive a have. Its 146mm wide.
I have never mounted the SQD in a 5.25" bay so i dont know how well it fits.

Hope that helps a bit.

Well I guess my conversions are not very good... nothing like a good old ruler !!

Thank you for your posts, they're a big help !
