In my StarDrive, there's room for pretty much any 3.5" HH or smaller SCSI
mechanism. I'd be careful about what I put in there, though, because there
*isn't* a fan, and a drive running faster than 5400RPM might have heat
problems.
I can't speak for all other cases, but I *do* know of two others...
The Apple HD20SC case can fit just about any (3.5" or 5.25") HH SCSI HD
known to man, but it's a bitch to open and it has a fan, so it can be loud.
The old - I mean REALLY old - Rodime cases can fit just about any HH SCSI
HD (3.5" or 5.25") as well and also have fans. The one Rodime case I saw
had a 9.1GB Barracuda in it hooked up to a B&W G3 and boy, that fan made a
racket. I have no idea how difficult they are to open.
