Does this drive come with an adapter to fit in a desktop PC?

If you mean mounting adaptor, NO. I keep these type of adaptors on hand. I did not use an adaptor for two of the desktops I outfitted with an SSD because the cables would not fit correctly without time wasted jerry-rigging. For a desktop application I consider mounting to be optional. The SSD is so much lighter than a traditional HDD and has no moving parts. And a desktop is not a mobile device. The SSD just sits or hangs from the cables. It may look unprofessional. But it is completely functional in my opinion.

Pretty sure it does not but you can just screw it in on one side if you want. No moving parts so wont hurt the drive.

Hi Jeffrey, This is a SATA divice with standard connectors, both Data and Power. If you have an older computer, i.e. IDE PATA, then it will NOT connect! If you are talking about mounting, then you will have to buy an adapter tray to hold it in place. Hope this helps.

Only if you're Doctor Who (it's bigger on the inside!). You put the mSATA card directly in here, no adapter required. That adapter would require a 2.5 inch SATA enclosure.

Portable HDD will fit in; however desktop version is bigger one and won't be able to fit in.

No, this adapter is just the opposite of what you need. This will adapt a mSATA drive to a full SATA slot.

It should work in your desktop just fine. However, it does not come with a hard drive mounting bracket. You'll need to get one separately. That said, however, the one I got had problems with the screw holes on the bracket not lining up with the drive. So you may want to go to a local store to get that just in case.

Yes, it did. (It has a mini USB that connects to the drive and two regular sized USB connectors that go into the computer.) It is a little short, though. If you need to, you may have to get an extension. I have it connected to a powered hub that is positioned just a few inches away. You should get a powered hub unless you plug it right into the computer. An unpowered hub is just not enough.

This is a msata drive. Most laptops and some desktops have an msata port, but I just checked the specs on the computer you mentioned and it doesn't look like it has a msata port. It can take other drives that connect via e-sata, or if you really want to use this drive, I believe you can find a pcie to msata adaptor card that will give you an m-sata port.

This drive will work in many standard desktop computers if the computer has a SATA interface. There are adapters to make the 2.5 drive physically mount properly in a 3.5 standard desktop mounts.

This Drive is compatible with laptops. It can be used in a desktop PC, but it would require mounting hardware as well. The PC in question must be SATA drive capable.

This HD will not fit in a laptop. it is too large physically and the plugs are wrong. It is designed for a desktop and will not work in older desktops which use the wide data cables. It is a SATA drive not an IDE drive. I replaced a HD in a Win 7 desktop and it worked great.

No, this adapter is for putting an msata drive in a computer that has a standard sata connector.

Yes. Actually, contrary to what others are saying, it has a pack of 8 screws: 4 to attach the 3.5" adapter (if needed), and 4 to simply mount the drive (or adapter).

I think yes, don't remember, but it surely comes with a 3,5" adaptor to use in a desktop computer. When I received I had just inserted in a USB 3.0 enclosure, cloned the 500 Gb drive from my Fujitsu via Easus cloning free and exchange drives. It is faster compared to the 7200 RPM I replaced. I also compared to a hybrid hard drive with no significant improvement. In any case is a good and fast drive. If someone needs to keep the replacement cost low, the option is to replace by a hybrid one.

If it's in a desktop PC then you should have a 3.5 inch form factor drive. If that is the case this will work. This is a 3.5 form factor IDE drive.

I was never able to even get it to work with a standard PC SATA drive, sorry

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)

No. This unit is to adapt a laptop drive (2.5") to a desktop drive (3.5"). So will not fit in a laptop drive bay. If your desktop has a 2.5" drive bay, you would not need this adapter. This converts small laptop drives into larger desktop drives.
