Hi Dorothy: This IS an internal Drive machine. You will have to install it into your computer.

My suggestion is buy a different brand like LG they are very good. My HP 1270I didn't even last 6 months.

It's an internal drive. You may use as an external drive but it will more convenient and cheaper to buy an external, if you want to use as an external.

Wait am I confusing this product this product with something else? You can't put a hard drive in this one right? Only External?

not internally.. it's too thick... but you can install in an external enclosure. Make sure you buy one that can fit its height because it's thicker than the average 2.5" drives.

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

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 your machine is listed as using a SATA hard drive whereas this is an IDE hard drive.

It is an internal laptop hard drive. However it can be connected via USB if you have this device:http://www.sabrent.com/category/hard-drive-enclosures/USB-DSC5/I fhave found this device quite handy as you can connect any IDE or SATA drive to a computer via USB.

SATA and EIDE is the type of CONNECTION for internal drives only, not the type of drive. External hard drives are either connected through USB or Firewire.

This is an internal drive. Does not include remote control. Will not hook directly to a monitor/tv.

Does not have an internal drive. However we purchased a usb external unit from Amazon for about $30 and it works perfectly

Though there is no internal drive, I used an external drive to transfer data back and forth with no issue. I made a conscious choose choice for lightweight portability over a drive, since I already had an external drive.

Yes I am using it internally, but it could be used as an external back up also

None but its independent of the os so it should function like any other jump drive

It is an internal hard drive. There are products that will allow you to connect a sata drive to a computer via usb, but you'd probably just be better off buying an external drive.

I've only used it as a standalone hard drive copy device, but I believe you can use it as an external hard drive unit too. I'm using Mac OSX

This external drive is branded Asus, but is an external USB drive that can be used with any computer (Asus or otherwise) . I got it based on price

They REFUSE to state it! Slimy! From the WD support site: Q: "What kind of hard drive is inside a Western Digital external product?" A: "We can only guarantee drive capacity. We cannot guarantee a particular internal hard drive model, data interface, rotational speed, or cache size in the external hard drive enclosure." http://wdc.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1704/p/209,488/session/L3RpbWUvMTQ0MDkyMTE3NC9zaWQvX1REbVRidm0%3D
