SATA 2.5 (laptop drives) work with this, SATA 3.5 (desktop computer hard drives) you need the bigger enclosure they also sell on amazon. I used this with my Playstation 3 hard drive. If you have the hard drive out already it should be about 2.5 inches width, if you bought it somehwere they should list it in the info in the specs.

It's designed for SATA drives. As long as the drive itself works you shouldn't have any problems. It was VERY easy to install.

If it is a 2.5" labtop SATA it will almost certainly work. Even some of the older drives work; it all depends on the interface.

If you measure the connectors, they should measure 2.5 inches from side to side. The actual enclosure measures 3 inches, but it's the connectors that count.

My husband took the 2.5 in hard drive from my laptop and put into this it is a Sata compatible drive enclosure and it works perfectly and responds just as fast as it did in my laptop while being hooked up by USB to my husbands desktop

Your answer to both is yes because SATA is Serial ATA drive. Happy hunting.

The sata connectors will all be on a chain together, look on your hard drive and see the connector that is the largest slot? Find the cables that match the shape of the connector, remember don't force it too much, make sure you are inserting it the right way

The one I got did not work, so that may have been my problem, I was installing a SATA III drive.

Hi, it is easy to check whether it will work or not. check the pin connector in product picture and find out whether it will mate with your Hard drive. I googled your description and looks like it will mate, just in case verify it with pin connector as i told above.

This hard drive is compatible with sata 6gb? I hope your early reply thank you in advance.

Any 2.5" hard drive, regardless of manufacturer, should work as long as it is SATA. Your SATA drive should be no exception and should work perfectly.

Yes, it will work. It supports both IDE and SATA. Make sure to use the proper connection.

Will this work with a sata drive bay? Does it need to connect directly to a motherboard?

This will work with any Hard Drive that has a SATA port. I just looked up your drive and it does have a SATA connection so you're good to go.

Yes, most likeky. (99% sure) If that drive has the usual 44pin connector it will work. You have to remove the caddy (harddrive holder) first.

It looks like it should. Your pc has SATA interface now for its optical drive, if I read the literature correctly. I think the issue would be the OS your are using and if you have the proper drivers for the interface between the OS and the drive.

I believe it will. Does the drive say SATA on it? That specifies one of the two interfaces this cable works with.

I don't know if it will. My computer is SATA III. Sorry I am not being much help for you!

Yes, it works with any SATA device, the enclosure is for any DVD/CD/Blu-ray device, but any SATA HDD will work, size would be a little big bigger than enclosures for HDD, but will work anyway.

If its Sata it wont work, has to be ATA or they also called it IDE, for newer Dell Laptops, Sata will work and not ATA (IDE).

Yes, "SATA III" as you listed in the question - is the indicator that this is the right cable
