This one is perfect, but currently unavailable at Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Case-Logic-EDDC-101-External-Optical/dp/B004NY9V0E

Hp answers a lot of questions on line. If you already own the drive, cases for external hard drives are inexpensive.

Amazon have been sending me the WD20EARS-00MVWB0!If you do buy it, please buy it thru my Amazon Store, its the same price and I get a small kickback from the sale.http://astore.amazon.com/brisperpag-20/detail/B002ZCXK0IGreat drive btw, use this for my main data partition and for an external backup drive on many servers.

It should. My drive is bigger physically than yours so the case is a better match for yours than it was for mine. I had no problem with the electronic components, just the box itself.

I have a 1tb transcend that fits the case. I measure this HD as 5 inches by 3 1/4 inches by 3/4 inches. Hope this helps.

No, Thermaltake case is designed for the physical dimensions of a SATA hard drive. The optical drive case is much too large to fit.

im currently using one with 750gb. So far so good. as long as its 2.5in SATA HDD should be fine.

I've never seen a WD Elements drive in person so I don't know if the case will fit but it sure does look like it would from the photos posted on Amazon.

Thank you for asking and all the responses, that had me confused too. It looked like a small drive but the dimensions were off. I'm also looking at getting the hard case recommended but that dimensions listed would not have fit. I'm grateful to have found my question already answered.

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

Yes. I have done this several times. The hdd fits snugly though, and it is quite difficult to get in and out. I used a screwdriver, but a flatbladed scaper of some sort might be better.

I always buy a drive that could be installed and buy an external case for it so I don't know

A case wasn't included with the drive, so I pack it in an old zippered case purchased for another item I purchased a few years ago. I'm sure you can find something appropriate. Jim

Graham, In my experience, I have good luck with the Seagate drives in that model. Their reliability seems to be fairly good, in my estimation.

Any standard drive will work, the case comes with a face plate for the drive that makes it flush with the front.

The case only supports 9.5mm the drive inside will go to 1tb but sizes of the drive height is the only restriction. I would choose a case that would support at lease 15mm for new 2tb disk for further upgrades.

Nope. The HP you are referring to only has 1 2.5 inch bay, so unless you modded that case there no place for another drive. a 1TB drive would double your capacity though. So I'd check that out.
