Don't listen to those who say 3.5 inch HDD. I jhave used these and now SDDs for over 8 years in my desktops and for those I build for othwers. Theya re awesome. less power, less heat, less noise. Go for it.

This is a notebook/laptop 2.5" drive! For desktops you should be looking at 3.5", unless your desktop is different and requires a 2.5" drive (like an iMac).

Usually a hard drive in a desk top is 3.5 inches but it could be 2.5 inches chech with the manual that came with your computer

3.5" is desktop, 2.5" is laptop, there are caddies that will allow you to mount a 2.5" disk on a desktop, since the SATA connectors are the same

This is intended for a laptop, not a Desktop. For a desktop, you would want a 5.25" desktop drive, not a slim laptop drive like this one.

recommends at least 400. I have a 500 but I'm running several drives. 300 might be OK if u only have one HD and a CD drive

This is to convert a 2.5" laptop drive or solid state drive to fit the 3.5" hard drive bay inside a desktop computer case. What you need is an external hard drive enclosure with USB for your laptop. Get a 2.5" enclosure for a laptop hard drive or a 3.5" for a desktop drive to convert them to an external drive.

I bought these: HGST Travelstar 7K1000 2.5-Inch 1TB 7200 RPM SATA III 32MB Cache Internal Hard Drive 0J22423. The fastest, largest drive I could find that fits the 9mm height limit. Be careful of the model; HGST makes other models at lower speed, etc.

Portable HDD will fit in; however desktop version is bigger one and won't be able to fit in.

Assuming you are looking for a desktop hard drive, you should be able to use any Serial-ATA drive that will fit in a 3.5" bay compartment. Right now, the "sweet spot" for getting the most bang for the buck is a 2TB drive - http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Barracuda-3-5-Inch-Internal-ST2000DM001/dp/B005T3GRN2/ref=sr_1_7?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1403804113&sr=1-7

Mostly all laptop hard drives are the same size (2.5) The only thing you want to be sure to check for is the connection interface. Most harddrive these days are SATA, but if you have an old laptop it is possible you could need an IDE.

This hard drive is a 3.5" drive which is for desk tops. IF you want to use it on a laptop, you can purchase a USB connected SATA Dock and connect it as an exterior disk drive. I believe laptop needs 2.5 inch drives but not sure.

Hard drives are usually 3.5 inches in width. Almost all conform to a industry standard SFF-8301 3.5

Hello! The Acer AXC600-UR318 has a full size (desktop) hard drive. In fact, while it is a small form factor case, it packs standard full size components of all kinds (except the power supply). The CD drive, hard drive, and mobo are all desktop standard (I believe the mobo is micro-atx). Hope that helps! Jonathan

Looks like the size question got answered already, after using it for a few months it seems the C drive is really just supposed to be 100% for your operating system. The system will boot/restart in a matter of seconds. the 1TB 5400RPM Hard Drive has plenty of capacity to store everything else.

I'm honestly not sure. My son ordered it and we ended up returning it because it turns out it wasn't what we needed. I don't think I even touched the hard drive. Sorry.

This particular hard drive is only made for laptops, any desktop harddrive will fit in your small form factor PC.

I believe hard drives sizes are base on your computer motherboard. If you have a computer 5 years or newer size should no longer matter. However the drives must be setup as GPT to see the whole disk.

I use a 4TB drive in mine with Windows 7. It works great. Solid case. I love it.
