I have two Toshiba Portable USB 2.0 2.5" hard drives (measurements provided below), and was looking for something to keep them free from dust and protect them from damage. This particular case serves exactly that purpose. The drive is held in place by a small elastic band that goes across the center of the one side of the case, and the other side has a mesh/elastic combination pocket that is sufficient for holding flash drives or additional cables. It is durable enough to withstand normal usage, but if you are planning on carrying your hard drive in your luggage or somewhere that it is likely to take more of a beating or have heavy items sit on top of it, this case may not be what you are looking for. The only reason I even mention this in my review is that some of the other reviewers are obviously looking for a product to do something that this product was clearly not manufactured or intended to do. This is NOT a hard shell plastic case, nor does it contain hard plastic inside the fabric. It is however hard ENOUGH to protect the drive from the elements and occasional small drops or bumps. I have used these cases for 6 months, and have not had a single problem with either of them.
Total measured internal useable dimensions of case for drive storage = 5-15/16" Length X 3-5/8" Width X 7/8" or 1" thick.
Just to give an example, my Toshiba drives measure 4-15/16" L X 3-1/8" W X 5/8" thick and sitting in the case, it still allows an additional 1" lengthwise and 1/2" width and approximately 1/4" more for thickness for a larger drive. Hope this helps those of you with a drive and a tape measure wondering if this will work for you. Happy shopping!
