Can it be disassembled and installed as an internal hard drive in a laptop?

I'm sorry, but I do not know if that can be done. I'm not great with computers, but this has worked well as an attachment to the laptop! Good luck!

Yes. The hard drive PCB has no funny business, it connects to a ordinary SATA host.

No idea other than that it is a piece of crap. Customer service sucks too. I will never ever buy a seagate product.

It can be done with some rigging and an extra molex to sata power adapter; I don't recommend it. See my review with pictures.

Yes, you could format it as a NTFS or FAT32. Mac (as well as Windows obviously) supports both.

Yes, it comes from the factory formatted with FAT32 but you can reformat it with NTFS if desired or most any other system.

Yes you can lug it into your laptop. Just make sure you have the software for the video playback on your laptop.

You sure can. I formatted the drive to use it as a Linux installation disk.

As the others have said, it's just like hooking it up inside your computer as far as that goes. You can do the same things you could if it were installed as a permanent HDD, including formatting.

I'm able to use this drive as external drive and internal. You need to install the connector based on your application.

it uses a m-sata connector so if your laptop supports it there should be no problem using it as a ssd or cache disk

Only if you have SATA connections available to work with...otherwise find an IDE drive.

Absolutely should! If you can remove your laptop hard drive, then you can replace it with this one. Do it, and you will not regret it!

This is not an internal or external hard drive. It is an external casing. So it does not matter what the OS is as long as you have USB support, the enclosure should work.

Yes, but it does state "General hard drive installations for most laptop. I purchase the hard drive but someone else put it in for me. Looking at the instructions it look like it is easy to do.

It won't be an ideal fit, but you should be able to install the drive without the converter. If the computer shows the drive, it's a problem with the converter, if not you may need to reformat the drive.

Yes, you can replace the hard drive with a solid state. You cannot have both. There is only one slot for a hard drive.

Yes you can, you can buy a new SLIM HDD laptop drive and change it yourself, carefully and remember that by doing that you are probably voiding your warranty

Yes, but its built into the computer, so you can't take it out without taking it apart.
