Enclosures that handle "up to 400GB" hard drives - what happens if you stick in a 500MB drive?
#4
500MB should be a piece o' cake.

And 500G should work fine, too.

Like matt says, sometimes that limit is the largest drive tested. And usually that's because that was the largest drive available at the time of testing.

I doubt that there will be any risk involved. I also wonder what the heat delta would be between a 400 and 500G HD. Certainly that info could be tracked down from the manufacturer, if one were so inclined.
