Is this an actual hard drive with storage or just an enclosure/case?

The enclosure can be purchased (from Oyen) either way - with or without a drive. I think Amazon offers them without a drive. I always buy mine without a drive so that I can get one that meets my specs, and usually at a lower price.

yes, put the hard drive in an external enclosure to convert it into an external hard drive

Thank you. I had the same question. When I bought it, I found it came with an enclosure. I don't understand why both WD and Seagate show multiple pictures of the drive opened up. It confuses the buyer, as what you receive is a sealed drive, not an open case. If the case is left open the disk can be damaged very easily. I believe they are actually sealed in a clean room. But many people do not know that, and it does not excuse the poor presentation of this product.

its not a hard drive. you put a laptop hard drive into it. it is just a case that turns a laptop hard drive into an external hard drive.

Hi Kevin,This is a Hard Drive Enclosure (cover) no hard drive is included. You must purchase a hard drive separately.

there are two hard drives in it which are not SSDs. i think they're both 1TB each, partitioned in a bunch of funky ways.i get a mild, constant shock from this thing when i rest my right wrist on the metal chassis, just fyi.

Yes. This is a hard drive. Just in a smaller package. Its the same thing. It will increase your storing space.

It's a hollow case, It's not a hard drive. It's a hard drive case. It converts your internal hard drive inside your desktop into a portable external hard drive via usb cable.

No it's not correct. It does not have a hard drive at all. It has a solid state drive (SSD) that starts I believe at 256gb and goes out to 1 terabyte.

It's exactly like a portable hard drive. The difference is,it's solid state and has no moving parts.

If you want to use it as an external drive, you can get an enclosure for it. Here's an example of what I mean:http://www.amazon.com/ORICO-2588US3-External-Enclosure-Support/dp/B00FYKRI9M/

it's accurate dimensions. average size hard drive. Maybe even smaller than average. not sure about the case. I dont have one.

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.

The "Casing Only" does not include a hard drive. In my case I had a 2.5" SATA form factor SSD lying around so I used that. The others come with a hard drive installed.

No the drive is completely enclosed, but you should check to see if your unit is EIDE (ATA) or SATA (serial ATA) adapters are available should you need one.

This particular one is a hard drive. There are others that offer solid state/hybrid.

I am assuming you mean "Solid State Drives". As far as hard drives go there are I think 4 3.5" bays and 1 2.5" spot on the bottom of the case.
