Can I use on my desktop?

Sure you can, but why would you? This drive is ideal for a laptop that has ONE HDD slot. For a desktop, you would be better off buying a 256GB SSD and a 1TB storage drive, for around the same price as this. The reason for this, is that unless you install EVERYTHING on the 120GB SSD partition, the 1TB side will continually spin up to access something and will wear out much faster than if you just had a separate storage option.

Yes. It worked on mine. The ssd was immediately recognized as the os and the hdd as storage.

That's where I'm using it. It is in a tiny Foxconn AT-7500 which makes a wonderful desktop work computer. It will go anywhere a standard SSD will fit.

you most certainly can. I have this in my regular desktop , the only limitation would be if you are using an old system that does not support large drives.(over 2TB) but anything built or bought in the last 5 years should be just fine.

As long as it's desktop, there should be no problem. Just make sure you have available slot

Yes you can, it does not interfere with your other tasks on the computer. I have been using it for a couple of years without any problems. I highly recommend it.

In short no. If your laptop supports thunderbolt you can get external enclosures which will let it work but it will perform worse than it would on a desktop and essentially makes it unportable.Your best bet would be to buy a better laptop or get a desktop.

Yes you can. The license allows you to install on two computers - say a desktop and your laptop. You're only allowed to use one compuiter at a time, however.

I bought this for my daughter she uses it for a desktop. Hers works fine on that.

I would imagine that it would, since I use it on my laptop. Desktop shouldn't be any different.

not positive about a desktop as I have a laptop with windows 7 and it works great with it , but I see no reason why it shouldn't .

Yes you can. It comes with an adapter type of plate if you want to use it but you don't have to. I've installed it on 2 desktops and no problems.

I don't think you can, however I haven't tried. Also, this computer does not support windows 8 so the likelihood of installing apps may be a problem. Hope this helps.

Yes you can use it for desktop. That is what i am currently using it for without any isues. You may need windows 8.1 and using it as a secondary drive to realize full 4 tb capacity. You can use only 2 tb as a primary drive if your oc is older and does not use new uefi bios. Windows decided to only support uefi bios for 4 tb capacity.

The desktop mode is through HDMI. By connecting an external monitor and using a bluetooth keyboard/mouse, you can effectively use this machine as your desktop computer. However, there is only ONE USB port and it is used to power the machine, so the "desktop mode" is borderline false advertising.

Yes you can, when I bought mine it came with a mounting chassis that allows the SDD to be installed on a desktop.

I use it on my laptop. I have not tried it on my desktop but I think it would work as long as you have a usb port. I like it. It works well.

yes you can. I currently have a windows 7 laptop, new macbook pro and my desktop is a running windows 8. works with all units.

You should be able to expand your desktop, I was able to with mine. It was a complicated process, I had to download the proper drivers and change my settings, but it worked (although its an awful connection)
