Is it 1/2 (1.6") or 1/3 (1") height? how many pins are on the 'mega-pin'
connnector? Is is actually SCSI, you never said if it was or not,
Quantum did SCSI and IDE versions.

Don't know - never seen inside one. I'd guess the center bay might take
it looking at the case measurements but I don't know.

Theoretically yes but only if it is a 50-pin 1/3 height drive. If it is
a special high speed effort it may struggle to get enough power out of
the PSU. According to Quantum it is a 7200rpm unit so it might be a bit
to power-hungry for the LC475s PSU. Try it, if it doesn't work it will
just spin up and spin down again with any luck.

Yes. The bay takes up to 1/2 height IIRC and it has a massive PSU.
