HDD that's compatible with blackmagic multidock

[keyman_sam]

I love my black magic dock. But it has 3 SSDs currently. I'd like to add a 5TB HDD for backup and I got a 2.5" but it doesn't fit (it's too thick!).
Can someone suggest a 2.5" HDD that's compatible with the multidock and can be used for backups?

Anyone? Surely there's gotta be someone who uses the multidock? I've emailed support and gotten no response yet.

If you know the maximum height the dock will accept, it's pretty easy to compare that against HD specs for the drives you're looking at.

Also, I'm not sure you're going to be able to get a 5tb 2.5" HDD less than 15mm thick, which may be the issue. Small capacity drives are in the 9-10mm range, which may work, but they won't give you the capacity you need.

Your only option for that kind of capacity may be to skip using the BlackMagic dock for your backups and just hook up a USB or TB attached external 3.5" drive instead.
