It sounds like you actually need a 5.5" enclosure. Desktop systems
usually use 5.5" drive because they're faster and cheaper. Most laptops
use 3.5" drives because even though they're slower and more expensive,
they're smaller. Really small laptops use 2.5" drives. I surprised you
only found 3.5" and 2.5" enclosures. The good news is that 5.5"
enclosures are usually much cheaper than 3.5" enclosures.
