I bought a case, and it has the standard array of 5.25" 3.5" and a single 2.5" drive bays. It ALSO has a single 5.25" bay, however this bay is about HALF the height of a regular drive bay. What would go in here? The only thing I can think of would be a notebook drive or something, but holding my laptop to it, the drive in my laptop is wider. Is there a name for this odd half-height 5.25" bay?

Here is a listing. It lists the full size bays, but not the smallish one. The very top piece pops out and has brackets to hold something.

It's just a slimline 5.25 inch bay, sometimes refered to as a 12.7mm bay; they are mostly for dvd/cd burners like this one. You can buy adapter products to divide a normal 5.25 inch bay into 2 slimline bays like this one.
