I am confused, is this a hard drive or a cover to a hard drive?

It is a cover with a SATA socket inside and USB outside. I bought one when my lap top motherboard gave in. I removed the hard drive, slipped it in the cover and copied all data to my new laptop. BestBuy geek squad would have charged about 85 dollars for that. It would be nice to get a hard drive for this price. :-))

It's a casing for a 2.5" Sata drive. The black item is the cheap sleeve cover.

it's an enclosure that you put a hard drive in so you can use it externally through USB and use it as an external drive/storage

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

This is a regular sized drive, not a slim one. What makes them look different is the cover. It is a simple matter of switching out covers, they snap off and on.

I have done this very thing with both of these pieces of software. This is really just a hard drive and will allow normal hard drive work.

Well, it could be both. I bought it as a replacement for the 80GB internal drive in my Dell Latitude notebook. I mirrored the existing drive to the new one, and it then became a plug-and-play replacement, as the OS and all files and applications were moved, making it an identical drive with more free space. That said, it could be installed in an external housing and connected through a USB connection to use as an additional drive.

You'll need to ask Buffalo. The hardware device is reported as "gendisk" (generic disk) by my Device Manager. The only way I could establish which manufacturer made my Drive Station hard disk would be to remove the cover. Obviously I don't want to do that. Many computer and peripheral manufacturers change their hard drive providers (bidding for cost-savings) during the manufacturing runs of their devices so you have to ask Buffalo to be sure about what you will get. I can tell you that mine has been a sturdy and reliable drive regardless of what is inside it.

A case wasn't included with the drive, so I pack it in an old zippered case purchased for another item I purchased a few years ago. I'm sure you can find something appropriate. Jim

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.

There is not any disk exposed. It's a regular SATA hard drive, which I am using right now. Probably you are having an optical illusion :)

This is just a hardware connector to plug your HDD to a USB port. So whatever else you want to do with the contents of the drive will have to be software driven.

I am not that familiar of this type of components, all I know is that this is an external hard drive.Sorry, I am not of great help to you.

I don't know the specifics, but it's just a box with wires for housing your internal hard drive. Instead of discarding your old hard drive with all personal information on it, your turn it into external storage drive.

The drive I have in it is an SSD. But there is a small piece of foam you can add. The drive is not tight against any part of the case though.

This is not a hard drive. This is just a case/enclosure to use your 2.5 (laptop hard disk is 2.5) inch internal harddrive as external drive, if you don't wish to discard your internal HDD.

Yes, fortunatly as these things progress there is a standard applied to these and it fits easy. It litterally needs a #1 phillips to remove the cover and it plugs in. I hope when you got your laptop you created the backup disk or USB drive it needed. If not there still might be time if the drive is not totally dead. This will restore your new drive to factory like specs with ease. BTW this drive is faster than you OEM and you should notice some improved performance.

I believe it is a laptop hard drive. I had used it in my PS3. It should work just fine if you're using it in a laptop. But just in case I would research the hard drive size requirements, and also the RPM because you don't want to end up with a fried computer.

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.
