Has anyone used this drive with an Intel Nuc? Does it fit?

The M500 mSATA drive is the same size as all other mSATA drives, so it will definitely fit in the Intel NUC.

No. The NUC uses an mSATA SSD. It is even smaller than a standard 2.5-inch SSD. It looks more like a memory module than a hard disk.

It is an M.2 drive. I have no idea do you have the slot. I am having it running in the Sager NP 8652 and it is running great with no issues at all. Great product!

Not sure, I actually used this for a friend and no longer have this item. I will say that I've used this item several times with a couple different manufacturers (WD, Seagate, etc.) and have not had an issue with any of the HDD not fitting. Hope this helps.

Hey Nelson, i'm not sure, i installed this drive into my late 2007 Intel Macbook Pro 15" 2.4/2.2GHz and it worked like a charm. :) i would research your computer model on google and what cd drives it is compatible with. sorry i wasnt more help!

This should be compatible with it. Any 2.5 HDDs I have used have been compatible with it.

Generally if it has a standard SATA connection, it should work. The only thing I could see a possible issue with would be the encryption that the drive uses and if special software would be necessary. I don't know much about that type of drive.

The only drive I could find was the silverstone drive... It's a slotted slim drive. Full size drives won't fit at all. The drive placement is right behind the vertical slot on the bottom right in the picture.

This drive is thicker than some drive bays, so it may not fit. Check the thickness, but otherwise yes, it will work.

No, it doesn't fit to your system. It's for the server. You should purchase unbuffered and non-ecc memories.

The red-topped Core i3-3217U NUC has a single mSATA internal port, and a place for one standard-sized mSATA drive. However, there do indeed exist mSATA-to-SATA converters, which fit within the space of the mSATA drive (these are available in both standard length and mini length, and a mini length converter will also require an extender. Once this mSATA-to-SATA converter has been installed (and, which prevents the bottom cover from being reinstalled), then you may indeed connect a conventional SATA hard drive (2.5" or 3.5") to the converter. This requires an external source of power for the hard drive, of course. Once the H-suffixed NUCs became available, and which can accommodate BOTH mSATA and conventional 2.5" hard drives, I focused my attentions on the H-suffixed models. However, I find that the red-topped NUCs are quite handy as these are quite compatible with MacOS X Mavericks out of the box, and that is what I run on mine. My H-suffixed NUCs are run with Linux as a special MacOS X kernel is required on those Haswell NUCs.

The Asus web site provides no answer to either hard drive format compatibility or networking compatibility with ANY type of computer. That's what's holding me back. A couple of 1 TB drives formatted HFS+ and networked iMac and Macbook Pro laptop, and I refuse to take the plunge unless there's documentation somewhere. If you find it, please post!

I'm running this drive on ACHI, so yea, it works. ACHI says its only running at 1.5 GB/s when it should be 3 GB/s for my motherboard and the drive clearly supports up to 6GB/s but it doesn't really matter since you'll pretty much never go too far over 200 MB/s with one of these drives.

No. I have a TB in mine. They are the same size no matter what size the GB/TB drive size is.

No, it can work in as standard desktop drive. Being designed for NAS though means it will tolerate being in close proximity to a lot of other disks, for both heat dispersion and resistance to vibrations caused by the other drives. You may be able to get a drive that has better overall performance and a larger cache in a non-NAS version for the same or lower price.

Ignore the other answer. The drive will fit fine. Any drive that does not exceed 9.5mm will work. The drive is compatible, just make sure it is formatted correctly

I have 3 NUCs configured as follows, all work very well: D34010WYK (Haswell core i3 mSATA only): G.Skill 8GB (2x4) part #: F3-1600C9D-8GSL Mushkin 240GB mSATA SSD part #: MKNSSDAT240GB-DX Intel 802.11AC + Bluetooth Wi-Fi card part #: 7260HMW Widows 8.1 Pro 64 D54250WYKH (Haswell core i5 mSATA & 2.5" drive): G.Skill Ripjaws 16GB (2x8) part #: F3-1600C9D-16GRSL SAMSUNG 840 EVO 250GB mSATA SSD part #: MZ-MTE250BW Intel 802.11AC + Bluetooth Wi-Fi card part #: 7260HMW Western Digital Blue 1TB HDD part #: WD10JPVX Widows 8.1 Pro 64 If you want a 1.5TB HDD, HGST makes one called: Travelstar 5K1500 that fits. My Favorite: D54250WYK (Haswell Core i5 mSATA only): G.Skill Ripjaws 16GB (2x8) part #: F3-1600C9D-16GRSL SAMSUNG 840 EVO 1TB mSATA SSD part #: MZ-MTE1T0BW Intel 802.11AC + Bluetooth Wi-Fi card part #: 7260HMW Windows 7 Pro 64 Listed in the order I bought them. I am very impressed with the Samsung 840 Evo mSATA SSDs, and now that the prices have come way down, I would not go with the Mushkin Atlas again, ever. all of these have been working great.
