When installed is the USB drive listed as removable storage or a local drive on the computer?

That depends on the USB reader and how your bios sees the reader and attached drives. Check your bios first.

Device with removable storage on my Dell Inspiron 15R laptop computer running Windows 7 SP 1. Hope this helps you.

Yes, I have the 2TB that comes installed, installed a 3TB drive and have a 4TB USB drive unpartitioned attached.

Removable, just like a standard USB thumb drive. On macs you do need to eject before disconnecting.

It's a typo on Amazon. The drive is SATA III. Hardly any drive are SATA III anymore. Click here -&gt; http://www.wdc.com/global/products/specs/?driveID=1049&language=1

Strange. When it came in, I found the drive as being alone and empty. I partitionned it in three separate parts for work purposes, but it's supposed to be here! You should contact MSI!

If this is a relatively new computer with an up to date operating system, nothing other than using any disc that came with the drive and an open slot in the case for mounting. Windows should do the rest.

The Windows folder appears on the C drive, which is the SSD, so I would assume the OS is installed on the SSD drive.

I think the other answer is correct. That when you are safely removing it is for the USB device. However, I did remove just the card and everything was fine.

I bought for something other than a Pc, so I'm not sure. What operating system? I recently had to learn a trick to get my PC to assign the drive. It saw it, but did nothing with it until I took a certain step.

Its an internal drive. It comes with brackets to screw it on inside the computer case.

The USB connection on the back of the unit when powered on allows you to put a drive in one of the slots and access it. It functions as a docking station only. To copy drives you must put the source and target in the unit. So you must physically remove it as there is no software that would allow you to select a drive while it is in the computer.

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.

Its a laptop, where do you plan on putting another drive? If you're asking about an external drive, i.e. a USB HD, they yeah sure it will see it just fine.

There are no moving parts. It is in effect a 1tb flash drive using USB 3.0 technology

There are NO complicated configuration files for the end user to accidently delete,change, or otherwise tamper with. Also it is bootable. The files remain in there ISO there will be no cross contimination. I have yet to see a virtual drive product for a USB stick that is bootable from the BIOS. (If you know of one, I would like to know what it so I can test it.) Virtual Drive programs that mount an ISO, that I know of, require a running OS to function.

The hard drives are only used for storage. The OS and any plugins are stored I believe on an SSD inside the system.

It depends on what default files are stored on the drives from the manufacturer. You'll often find instructions, welcome files, and other stuff on the drive. Feel free to delete everything that you don't need on there.
