Product description notes this product is used in laptops. Are the dimensions (or any other factor) not suitable for desktops?

It is sized for the typical laptop (2.5" width) but can easily be used in a desktop with a 2.5" to 3.5" adapter - this just prepares it to fit the bay on the desktop properly. The cables are the same for both sizes.

2.5" drives are considered laptop drives and 3.5" drives are considered desktop drives. I don't know of any company that makes a 3.5" SSD, it's becoming increasingly popular for desktop enclosures to have 2.5" bays, which this drive will fit in. You can also buy 3.5" bay adapters than usually fit 2 or more 2.5" drives. I have one of these drives in a desktop which has a 2.5" bay. If you're really lazy you can hook the drive up and let it sit where ever. No moving parts means it's not going to vibrate/make noise.

I know this is an old question, but if it helps in the future for someone else it's worth answering. Some laptops will only accept a 9mm thick drive. Some will take 11mm or more. That's the only question to keep in mind with almost any laptop or mini desktop. It's also valid for any SATA drive. You can google your models tech specs or speak with a technician.

This is a "bare drive" and must used in in a "host" device that has a SATA controller - such as a PC (either stand-alone or on a network), or in a NAS box on a network. It is designed for NAS applications but would work okay in a regular desktop computer with a SATA interface (but not in an older IDE interface). This will not fit into a laptop. You will need to add both power and SATA cables to your purchase if you buy this since they are not included with this had drive.

No, this Hdd will not fit into a laptop computer. I used this Hdd for a desktop build, for a friend.

I'm using mine in my desktop. You might want a spacer to make it fit in your bays better. But it will work in my desktop (presuming you've got a sata data connector, (and sata power, but that's available with adapters)

I am assuming that the Dimension is a desktop PC if so as long as you have an open PCI slot it will work.

I installed this into a desktop. I didn't notice that it said "Laptop". I just thought with that pinning and that bracket it had to be for a desktop. Works well too!

This is fine for laptop use. It is not a full size unit. It is the size of the Logitech Anywhere mouse for a point of reference.

It will fit in any computer with an available 3.5 inch drive slot. I used it in my dell vostro desktop perfectly fine.

Sorry, I have no idea if it will fit a laptop. Maybe try the GeForce website?

No sorry it will only work for laptop since its a sodimm sized rams. Desktop have longer bigger rams. Hope it clears it up for ya. Take care.

This 3.5" drive is for a desktop or for an external enclosure. You would need a (2.5") drive for a laptop

No. This not a laptop-size hard drive. It would fit in a desktop computer. I bought it to serve as a back-up drive that I can keep safe off-site. It fits in an Anker hard drive dock that I bought specifically to create back-ups.

I installed mine in my desktop machine and it works great. I liked it so much I purchased another one for my laptop and it works there as well. The only catch is that you laptop has the space, check and see if what is already in there is a 2.5" HD, if so then it should be no problem.

No, this module its no compatible with any laptops out there. This is for desktop

I'm a bit confused, the drive works regardless of what flavor of machine you have in the desktop vs laptop sense.. I'm guessing it calls itself a desktop expansion drive because its sort of bulky to carry around everywhere (its about the size of a 500 page paperback book)
