Is there a second hard drive adapter that I can use with this laptop?

It has a slot for an additional hard drive. You'd need to purchase an HDD enclosure and the cord to plug in the drive.

I'm not sure what model number but I put my old drive into my new laptop. So it can be done

Nope you don't need this. This converter is only useful for SSDs in desktop PCs. Your laptop uses standard 2.5 inch drives so you should be fine.

Please note that this particular laptop model is old now. MSI offers newer versions, but I don't know about the new laptops' capabilities of having hard drive additions or replacements. Most laptops including this one don't work that way. There is a connector in the drive bay (actually a depression) that the sata connector on the hard disk directly connects to. Mine shipped with the second drive caddy, or holder, in place in that depression. Other laptops have a connector on the caddy, or drive holding frame, that the hard drive directly connects to. Then the caddy plugs into the sata connector on the bay or depression. With many there are one or more screws to keep the drive from disconnecting.

In order for you to use this unit you will need a USB to IDE SATA Adapter that is available on Amazon. Com. I have one and it works great.

No, the power adapter is for the IDE/laptop hard drives. I have recovered data from SATA drives without the adapter in place although I normally leave it connected for convenience sake.

This unit is an internal hard drive and won't fit a laptop. Trying to connect it's if we're a external drive wouldn't work either. Contact the laptop maker for a recommended drive for that unit

Errr... no. It's a Thunderbolt drive. The Thunderbolt adaptor is to connect a FW device to a TB connector on the computer.

There are two usb ports, one for communication, the other for additional power.I thought the same that you did-- where can I get the adaptor. It turns out that the drive works happily on 2 USB connections-- and no power adaptor. Good luck!

No power adapter. Just the cable from the external hard drive to the computer.

I found the adapter info on E-bay (follow the link) http://www.ebay.com/itm/US-Western-Digital-WD-1TB-My-Book-Essential-HD-External-Hard-Drive-Adaptor12V/171050533357?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222003%26algo%3DSIC.FIT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20131003132420%26meid%3D7247654651354539816%26pid%3D100005%26prg%3D20131003132420%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D171050533357&rt=nc (you may have to copy the link to your address bar in your browser.)

I don't know. I am unsure if the adapter I had works properly. Your system sees something, but if you reformat, you will lose the info on the drive.

It depends on what types of hard disk you use and what types of mount your board has for hard disk. Usually it will be SATA or IDE something. It has nothing to do with this adapter.

I'm aware that the drive works with both USB cables plugged in. However, since the choice is between using up an extra usb port and a usb extension cable (my laptop has exactly two ports: one on each side, so the default cable won't reach); buying a usb hub; or finding a power adapter that will work with the unit, I would prefer to have the extra power cable run to where the drive will "permanently" sit.

Do a google search for that. I doubt you can mount a second hard drive in there, but I'm not sure.

Yes, you should be able to remove the hard drive from the laptop, hook it up to this gadget, and then connect it to another computer through a USB port. It will show up as a drive. It worked pretty slick on my crashed computer hard drive. The only problem I had was when I tried one of the plug in options {the one that looked most familiar to me} and it didn't work. Lord knows why there are two choices, there are no directions. The second one worked perfectly.

I had some 2.5 to 3.5 SSD adapters that are for desktop installs. You can probably get one on the auction site cheap. I had 2 notebook drives in mine, fit well.
