can i add this as extra space with my existing WD Blue 1 Tb?

Short answer is "Yes", it does not have to exactly match the size and model of your existing WD Blue, but: Most modern computers have a 2nd internal drive bay and the extra power cable connector. The power connector will be just a few inches from your existing drive on the same wireset. However you will probably need to buy an SATA (Serial ATA) data cable to plug into the drive and into a port on the system board ("motherboard") to complete the installation. It's easy to check when you open the cover.. follow the data cable (small, flat) from your existing drive and find an open rectangular port on the board nearby. Older computers have a different (IDE/Parallel ATA) interface. Assuming you have a fairly new computer you're okay. With power off and power cord disconnected (push/ hold the power button a few seconds to completely discharge any stored charge, install the drive and connect it. When you boot up, your computer should automatically recognize the drive and your OS should give it a letter. You MAY have to (in Windows PCs) go to Computer Management to "Initialize", "Format" and set to "Active." It's not as complex as it sounds and step-by-step instructions can be found online. Once it's up and running, you can access it the same as your primary hard disk, it will appear in My Computer and have its own Driver Letter. Good Luck!

Not sure I understand the question so hopefully this will help. You can add as many additional HDDs to your system as you have additional unused functional SATA ports on your motherboard and/or PCI card and space inside your PC case to install them. It's possible that some of your SATA ports may not be functional. If you're using a multi HDD external enclosure, you would need to check to see if it has HDD size/space limitations...

Yes you can. If you have a Windows PC you can have as many Hard Drives as your Controller Board will allow (Usually 4 or 5 - but I've seen as many as 16); this all depends on how many ports you have on your SATA Controller.

It looks like there are slots for SATA 1.0 and SATA 2.0 with one being used by the currently installed hard drive. So there is an available slot to plug one in but I seriously doubt another internal hard drive would physically fit in the case. I would just add an external drive. I have two hooked up to mine :).

No, just make sure that you remove the adapter on the existing drive to use with this one.

I think you want: Lenovo 03X3703 TS440 3.5" HDD Cage I've been researching this and i think you would then need a " discrete RAID adapter for SATA/SAS" in order to manage the additional drive caddy.

I started with one 2TB and have been running it for several months. Adding a second of another brand and size. It's flexible to do that. You can even put in 2.5's with a converter tray, or some people mix in SSD's as well. Pretty limitless. AND most use cases are hot swappable, meaning you can pull and add drives while running.

If you are set on Raid 1, it will limit you to 4 TB because the other drive is duplicating #1. If you go into your WD My Cloud you can change from Raid 1 and obtain full use of the aggregate 8 TB if that is what you want.

Nope. The HP you are referring to only has 1 2.5 inch bay, so unless you modded that case there no place for another drive. a 1TB drive would double your capacity though. So I'd check that out.

No problem with that configuration as long as you have a motherboard that will natively recognize a 4tb drive.

I took a 15 mm drive out of a Seagate 1 Tb external drive and put it in this housing. You should be good.

I am running 4 X 2tb hard drives in a "mirror" config. That only gives me 4tb of actual storage space but the hot swap feature was what I wanted.

I highly doubt this will help to make that take this drive, the drive is 15mm and it certainly uses all the space.. I took a look at the hard-drive bracket photo from this page. http://www.laptopmag.com/advice/how-to/aspire-one-hdd.aspx?step=3 and the bracket alone is too small, so my thoughts on this is no.. it will not even come close to fitting.

Im sorry dont know the answer to that question.. i got the WD 1 TB for mac and it fits perfectly..

YES!!! Those are the dimentions of my 1TB HD, and is perfect too!!! Don´t worry about!

There is no space for a spare drive. You can replace with a SSD like I did but that's it. Just use the USB 3.0 with an external drive.

You could possibly use this 3.5 inch drive if you purchase the new nyko databank which allows you to use 3.5 inch HDDs but dont use anything higher than 4TB.

I have the WDE1UBK10000N and it is a solid well built external! I don't think you can go wrong with the elements terabyte hdd!

Assuming you mean "capacity" and not "physical size", I don't think so. I picked this up from the store, and returned it the next day after it failed to work with a 3TB WD Caviar Green drive, though it worked fine with a 1TB version of the same drive. I never did any additional research, so I don't know for sure, but it's probably limited to 2TB hdds, like most of the older external enclosures I've come across.
