Drive Bay
|
A drive bay is a standard-sized area for adding hardware to a computer. Most drive bays are fixed to the inside of a case, but some can be removed. Over the years since the introduction of the IBM PC, it and its compatibles have had three types of drive bay, of which two are in common use today. The original PC came equipped with 2 full height bays in which 5.25" floppy or hard disk drives could be mounted. Later, miniaturization of components brought about the half-height drive, which became the standard in the late 1980s. The 3.5" bay was introduced to mount the new 3.5" microfloppy drives, but later came to be used for 3.5" hard drives as well. A 3.5" bay is the same height as a half-height 5.25" bay. There is no "full height" 3.5" bay. Due to the Wintel platform's hegemony during the 1990s, its disk drive mounting configuration became standard across a wide variety of computer hardware. Mounting brackets exist to mount 3.5" drives in 5.25" bays. From Wikipedia under the
