416587 2005-12-30 08:11:00 Would anyone be able to tell me where I can by jumpers for a hard drive? but all jumpers are the same, aren't they? Bazman (6587)
416588 2005-12-30 08:13:00 easiest way is to scrouge a few of any pc shop off some old dead drives. a few drives use odd sized ones but i'm sure you could make something fit if need be. tweak'e (69)

Cat No. XH5046, $3.14 for 10

The only ones that are harder to find are those used on laptop (2.5") drives, they are smaller again.

416590 2005-12-31 00:05:00 I think there are only two sizes commonly used. The older 0.1" (2.54 mm) spacing is used on motherboards, some interface cards, old disk drives. Most 3.5" drives I have seen use the smaller ones -- maybe 2mm spacing?. Probably these are used on 2.5" drives, too. DSE (www.dse.co.nz/)'s ones are probably 0.1". I can't get into their site at the moment to check. Graham L (2)
416591 2005-12-31 00:37:00 The standard HDD jumpers (0.1", 2.54mm) here will not fit my 2.5" drives, they are smaller again, my calipers suggest around 2.0mm

DSE size in not specified in the advert.
