Nope, nope and nope. Just as a test I put a 2.5 drive in the dock and it spun. No recognition though.
The 3.5 is dead silent. I tapped it, a little more, then a lot more.

I don't need any more than what I had so I think I'll spend as little as possible in case there was a problem with the motherboard. My guess is no, but me working on a computer is limited to installing cards in slots. Or in this case, installing an HD.

I still have a seriously full C drive, so unless I can understand why, I should be thinking about starting over. Funny, I got used to 2 screens but only use them when editing video. I've completely forgotten how to split the screen, but a really big screen would be better for me. I watch a lot of video.

Anything to stay away from in buying a drive?
