Can these drives be able to be put into an external hd case?

This hard drive will fit any laptop hard drive case, the drivers, however, must be downloaded. Those drivers typically come from cd roms provided from the manufacturer of the laptop or pc. If those cd roms didn't come with your device you can request them from the manufacturer of your computer.

Yes. Should work as any external HD. This is just a shell for a drive to go into.

I'm pretty sure that you can. In fact I believe any internal HD with a SATA interface will work. I am using a SanDisk SSD 480GB drive in mine as a startup drive for my iMac.

Yes. The unit consists of two 1tb hard drives and a case they are mounted in.

I don't plan on transporting my drive anywhere, so I haven't tried using any cases with it. However based on the descriptions the case you mentioned was designed to fit a drive slightly smaller than the 2TB WD drive you are using. So I would say that you may want to keep looking.

You can as long as where your present Hard drive is incaged. Me I found that an enclosed case (Metal box case) you cannot use this item because it sticks out to far. Hope this helps.

Thank you for your interest in our products. No that will not work with this external drive.

yes , all you need is to put it in an external box. good thing it uses less power and has no moving parts so its stronger than conventional drives

Maybe. The form factor is ok, but I don't know, if this system can use the drive.

From what i see, the enclosure has 4 small screws in the bottom and glued on feet on top of them. I haven't opened the case yet but I feel confident you can open and replace the drives. I wish you can buy the case and put the drive yourself. Ummm, let me check on that, come to think of it.

I wouldn't be suprised if some external hard drives use the NTFS system instead of the FAT32. It's easy to reformat it though.

Thank you for your interest in our products. Any optical drive an be converted to an external burner as long as you have the external case.

Unless the drives don't conform to standard 3.5mm HDD sizes, they should be fine. Realistically, you're more likely to be limited by the motherboard, sata controller, or OS than you are by the case.

It's a laptop HDD ready to install. If you intend to use it as an external you need to/could buy an enclosure.

No, unfortunately not. An external drive is pretty cheap. I bought one when I bought the computer.

None. You have to put in your own hard-drive; this is just an enclosure for an internal drive to make it an external drive.
