The 3.5” hard drive has been in use for many years. It has been a standard size for desktops, network storage and enterprise use. In recent years, 2.5” hard drives have become popular due to increases in performance and storage capacity. Additionally, Solid State Drives are quickly becoming the standard. The problem is that in order to use one of the new 2.5” hard drives, you either have to modify your existing hardware, or buy new equipment. For some, this can be a very costly update. Icy Dock has a lower priced solution in the form of 2.5” to 3.5” hard drive converters. A 2.5” hard drive can be installed, making it the same size as a 3.5” hard drive with a standard SATA interface. These converters can be found starting at around $26.00 for the entry level converter and up to $34.99 for the enterprise class SAS compatible converter.

Using the enterprise version as an example, Icy Dock has a great picture showing how the MB982IP-1S-1 matches up to a standard hard drive. Here they attempt to show the size and that their enclosure has the same screw holes as a standard 3.5” drive.

In this Instructable I'll show you how to make a unique bracelet - made from a single piece of lace, a locket and some beads. Most of the items used here I already had at home. You won't have the same materials as I do, but hopefully this Instructable will inspire you to use what you have to create something even more unique and beautiful! The locket in the center of the bracelet is something that I had and had never worn - as I wear one small necklace all the time and don't like to change it out. So, I wanted to use the locket and transform it into a bracelet that I could wear!
Materials: lace beads thread & needle for sewing (I used a clear thread) Clasp for back of bracelet - anything will work scissors I used bias tape binding for the edges of the bracelet other embellishments locket if you have one anything else you like to add Tips:
ok this is my 1st instructable so please be kind.
Whether you want to sort out duplicates or figure out which folder has certain files and which doesn't, you can use the diff command in the Terminal to find out fast.While traditionally used to look at the difference between text files like this...diff file-1 file-2...you can also compare the contents of two folders by adding -rq:diff -rq folder-1 folder-2Once you enter this command—changing folder-1 and folder-2 to the folders you want to compare, of course—the terminal will spit out a list of differences between them. That's all there is to it!Compare two folders' contents in Terminal | MacWorld
