Will this work for a desktop? Or is this hard drive just for laptops?

It's typically meant for a laptop, however with the 3.5 inch drive bay converter and the right sata cable it hooks in without too much difficulty, the power cable is also the same just upside down. It's not too difficult to hook in as a 2nd storage drive. I use this as my backup drive and it's big enough to store most of my games like Star Craft 2 and Crysis.

it can be hooked up using the desktop internal cables as a primary drive, but mounting it inside might be difficult. You can buy a kit that would enable you to use it as an external drive via usb connection but I don't think you use it externally as the primary drive. May need to check that with a computer expert.

This is only for a laptop. The connectors are not the same for a tower style desktop.

Really meant for a laptop. If you're buying a new hard drive, just find a different one. It isn't worth the hassle of getting an adapter.

This hard drive is a 3.5" drive which is for desk tops. IF you want to use it on a laptop, you can purchase a USB connected SATA Dock and connect it as an exterior disk drive. I believe laptop needs 2.5 inch drives but not sure.

I'm a bit confused, the drive works regardless of what flavor of machine you have in the desktop vs laptop sense.. I'm guessing it calls itself a desktop expansion drive because its sort of bulky to carry around everywhere (its about the size of a 500 page paperback book)

Yes, this is a hard drive. This is physically 2 and a half inches long. It is to go inside a laptop. The disk spins at 5400 revolutions per minute. There are some that spin at 7200 PRM. They will be a little faster, but cost a little more. 1TB is the memory size. It will hold a terabyte of data. That's about 1000 gigabytes. Depending what you need, a smaller drive of 500 GB or 750 GB but spinning at 7200 RPM may be a better choice for about the same price. But the one you selected should work fine in most laptops. You might want to do a Google search for your particular laptop to see what size the hard drive is. Most likely it is 2.5 inches. If so this one would be fine. Good luck. I don't know why they say "kit". It is just a hard drive.

I'm a big fan of NAS hard drives Usually used for network storage because of there toughness they still work just fine for desktop computer. They tend to last longer than a desktop HD and generally come with a better warranty. That being said I would get this WD hard drive it should more than meet your needs and is well priced.

It can be used in both a desktop or laptop. The Retail version comes with an adapter and hardware to use with a Desktop. Be advised this unit is NOT a desktop size it is for a laptop. There is a small software CD.

If it is a desktop it will. I dont see why it shouldnt. This works like any other harddrive but faster and with less space than most common harddrives nowdays

I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't work in any modern laptop or desktop, as long as there's room and an available connector. It would certainly work as a replacement for the original drive.

If your Laptop has a SATA connection, it will work. To my knowledge, laptops don't have external SATA connections. Probably won't work for you. I used it as a primary drive in a desktop computer with an ASUS motherboard. Both a SATA connection and power connection are needed.

Hello, this is a standard 320gb sata hard drive for laptop. As long as your computer supports SATA this should not be an issue. You may want to do more research on your laptop being compatible with sata drives.

This is a "bare drive" and must used in in a "host" device that has a SATA controller - such as a PC (either stand-alone or on a network), or in a NAS box on a network. It is designed for NAS applications but would work okay in a regular desktop computer with a SATA interface (but not in an older IDE interface). This will not fit into a laptop. You will need to add both power and SATA cables to your purchase if you buy this since they are not included with this had drive.

I am pretty sure they make this model for desktops as well. It is basically a plug and play for laptops, but I don't know if connections are the same. Sorry I can't be more help.

No, it's for a PC (Desktop Computer) - you need a 2.5 inch drive to install it in a laptop - I would not recommend using it as an external hdd - if you want it for that application I would recommend that you buy an external/portable hdd, it will be safer and work better. Good Luck! RH

Yes. The drive are designed to run non stop on servers and raid drives but they can be used on desktop. Although yiu will get desktop drives at cheaper prices

I don't think so. The enclosure is meant for using in desktops that usually only hold regular non-solid state drives. Usually, but double check, a solid state drive works in a laptop with the laptop's own set up.

This particular hard drive is only made for laptops, any desktop harddrive will fit in your small form factor PC.
