Thanks for you interest in our product. Regarding HDD, an internal SATA 3.5" Consumer Electronics Grade one would be compatible with our system. We recommend that you only purchase Consumer Electronics Grade Hard Drives such as: Western Digital Audio Video Green Power (AV-GP), Seagate SV35 Series, Hitachi Cinema Star Series. You may go Amazon, search for "Western Digital AV-GP".

A Sata Hard drive are very easy to come by in many sizes. Just seach amazon for a SATA hard drive and pick your size. Be sure to check what type of sata drive you need. I think this unit needs a SATA 2 or 3. I purchased a 400GB hard drive and it works great. Something like this ... http://www.amazon.com/Black-320-Mobile-Hard-Drive/dp/B001CO3EKQ/ref=sr_1_9?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1365438733&sr=1-9&keywords=sata+2+hard+drive

it will work if this statement in the advertisement is true:"Supports Standard Desktop 3.5-Inch SATA or IDE Desktop Hard Drives"

This is an IDE burner, not a SATA. I bought it to replace an old drive on an old computer. I tried to get one as close to the original as possible, and it worked fine.

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

This is a IDE HDD Enclosure Case, so NO it will not work with a sata drive no matterwhat the operating system.

It should - I put a WD 500GB IDE hard drive in mine - The crucial thing is that you set the jumper correctly (making it a 'Master') - The settings are on a sticker on the HDD itself. Hope this helps.

The size matches, and a 1" thick drive fits, too. The enclosure accepts SATA drives only, not IDE drives. Please verify that.

Yes it will. Note that the slot on top works with SATA only. For older IDE drives, you will have to use the included cables.

I'm actually using this as the boot drive on a desktop PC. In mine, the drive fits the mounting rails that would otherwise be used by a floppy drive. The connectors are, of course, SATA and not IDE; You can tell them apart because IDE uses a wide (2-inch), ridged ribbon cable and SATA cables are about a half inch wide and smooth.

Yes, no problem. I personally use a standard SATA drive through, I need the capacity. Works like a charm...

No, for 2 reasons. 1 - The product description says that it works with IDE drives up to a maximum capacity of 320 GB, and 2 - IDE drives don't go up to 2TB. If you have a 2TB drive, it's probably a SATA drive, which won't work with this product.

You can use any Sata drive. They must be the same size. If they're dissimilar sizes it will only be as large as the smallest drive. So far it's worked flawlessly

YES 2.5 or 3.5 hdd it will fit into the cut out part you see in the picture. it will even work for IDE if you get the adapter for it with either size hdd

Should be able to use it as long as it is a SATA ( serial )drive. Older IDE drives are not compatible.

This is for a SATA connection and will not fit the IDE. There is no room for an adapter inside the casing.
