Does this work with a Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 (250 Gbs)? This is an old harddrive but I would like to still use it. Thanks.

Yes, this will work. It should work nomatter what - since it's SATA - which is a version reverse compatible protocol. There are different SATA versions, but any older protocol drive should work with any newer controller - just the way things are designed. That comment aside, which is general knowledge. I used this case for an old Seagate 7200.10 drive actually. I have an older (same series as yours) 500GB drive where the controller board on the enclosure stopped working. So, I bought this to replace the malfunctioning enclosure. Worked fine. It's a pretty nice little case, and the price is right. I'd say buy it. Yes, this will work.

I'm sorry, but I wouldn't know. I'm not a computer repair specialist. I would guess that it will work for any harddrive that can fit into the case. Consult a local computer techie or computer repair shop for advice.

I did a search and the drive you mentions comes up as a SATA 3.5" drive. So, yes, this would work.

will I loose all my data that is already on the 4GB, or is this an additional drive? I tried to use the Seagate 1TB external Computer drive, but it wouldn't work.

I bought 2 units with 2 Seagate Barracuda 3 TB HDD SATA 6 Gb/s NCQ 64MB Cache 7200 RPM 3.5-Inch drives 7 months ago. Both of the drives have been running 24/7 non stop without any issues.

100% compatible. Lol, but seriously it's still a decent drive. You won't notice any difference compared to a newer 64mb 7200 rpm drive. Just don't buy it used.

This enclosure should work. But note that it is a snap together plastic enclosure. You can't take a drive out and reuse the enclosure. It was designed to be sold as an external drive with the drive included. It is not reusable like enclosures designed to be sold alone as enclosures.UPDATE: Found the video about taking it apart without breaking pins. Cool.ALSO: I believe Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 drives are always SATA.

Hi ChrisL, I imagine you've made your decision, but something important for others to keep in mind is this: this device will NOT work properly with large SSDs (256Gb and higher). If you google "Seagate Thunderbolt adapter disconnect" you'll see countless posts. So if you want to use Seagate drives, you'll probably fine. However, if you, like me, wanted to hook up a high-cap SSD for portable work, then do not buy this sucker. Apparently it's a power issue.

Yes, but the unit is advertised at 5gb/sec. You won't even see that in the real world. I am very satisfied with mine. I use it mostly for backups and it is plenty quick with my Seagate 1tb 6gb/s drive. You should use it with a USB 3.O port for best performance. Also, If you look at the device properties you should set it set for 'Quick Removal' not 'Better performance' so you can 'hot plug/unplug' it w/o worry of data corruption. I have run CrystalDiskMark benchmark tool and the best I get is approx. 90mb/sec on sequential reads/writes. You may get better results. USB will always have some amount of 'system overhead' so you will generally get much better performance w/a dedicated(on board) SATA III controller as on your motherboard. BTW, I also watch HD movies on my unit with no issues. Hope this helps.

Yes it will work, the drive is exceptional faster than a standard, the only flaw I had seen, With Windows 7, or the bios at first instal it confused my D drive as the primary rather than the C, So I had to reformat and reinstall, the second time was all good though. I like it, It works great for me, I can hear windows booting even before my screen comes up after bios boot. Considering the price v/s solid state, I will get me another hybrid. You can never go wrong with Seagate quality anyways, that is why banks prefer Seagate in there PC's.

yes, I have two of these boxes, & I I either raid 0 or leave it at the default which is JBOD.right now, I buy a lot of Seagate Barracuda 4 terabyte drives, and put them in and out of these boxes per my various jobs. I work off of the one box that I have at 16 terabytes raid 0, & I back up to the JBOD single drives. it all works fine, & I configure everything using Disk Utility.

The connections to the drive cages are plain SATA and a Molex power connector to power the cage, so you could put 12x2TB, 12x3TB, 12x4TB and so on. As long as the drives are standard SATA drives like (http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Barracuda-3-5-Inch-Internal-ST3000DM001/dp/B005T3GRLY/) you will not have any issues. I currently have 12x3TB in mine with no issues.

I use four Seagate Barracuda 3 TB HDDs which can be found here: Seagate 3TB Desktop HDD SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5-Inch Internal Bare Drive (ST3000DM001) . It has been running non-stop for nearly a year with no issues.

Don't know about your particular hard drive but if your drive has a SATA interface it should. In fact it should also work with any 3.5 inch SATA drive. Plug into a USB 2 or 3 and away you go!

esl537's answer is best for tech details. My Dell is similar to yours & the HD works fine with existing cables. I knew it'd be backward compatible but I could also carry it forward to a new system with higher transfer rates 'one day.' It's been several months & all is well. Much quiter than Seagate it replaced.

I have a 3T Seagate Barracuda that I bought a year or so ago that I threw into it and it works just fine. Try upgrading your firmware.

Do not know the answer to this; I used it only on the Seagate drive specified in the product description above.

This WILL work with drives larger than 3TB. I have one of the new 8TB SeaGate drives in one and it works perfectly.

Steve, that sounds like a standard 3.5" Form Factor akin to the Seagate ST500NM0001, whose dimensions are 5.78x4.010x1.028 then it should work just fine. If you can find the model number on the drive, it would make it easier to check for sure.
