Hi, will this work with a SATA HDD?

No it won't cause this enclosure is for an optical drive either dvd or blu-ray, this is not a hard drive enclosure.
169514
Yes, it works with any SATA device, the enclosure is for any DVD/CD/Blu-ray device, but any SATA HDD will work, size would be a little big bigger than enclosures for HDD, but will work anyway.
169515
Yes, it will work with mostly any SATA device, however, the form factor is more geared toward optical drives. you would need adapter rails to get a hard drive to stay put in the casing.

It should work with it but you would need a mounting kit (the case is for 5.25" devices, not 3.5/2.5" like in desktops and laptops) and you would then have a large and ugly hole in the front of the case where the front of the CD/DVD/BD drive is supposed to be.But... why would you? You can get external cases designed for HDD/SDD devices that don't require the extra expense of mounting kits (and most mounting kits are NOT designed for use in external cases so shop carefully.) I have a number of Rosewill USB 3.0 external cases and they're much better suited for that purpose.

It isn't designed for it is the short answer. I suppose one could rig it to work, but why do that when there are plenty of enclosures available for HDD that are custom designed and would protect your HDD much better? Most are cheaper, although I see the price has now come down some for this. This was all I could find available a few months ago for external optical drives enclosures, but as I said, there are many makes and models of external HDD enclosures available that will do the job better and cheaper. This model works excellent for what it is intended for and it is USB 3.0, which I wanted for my Blueray burner/combo drive. Word of caution: Some USB 3.0 controllers may have trouble properly recognizing certain external optical or hdd drives. If you run into problems, try plugging into a different USB 3.0 on your computer, as manufacturers may use different makes of USB controllers within the same computer. I think typically one controller handles two USB ports. Hope this helps you out, Juan!

if your Hard drive is a IDE connection and 3.5 inchs then as far as I know yes it should work. I find it hard to imagine you have an IDE hard drive that is 2 tb its more likely SATA connection but I suppose it is possible. :) hope that helped a bit

If it works with SATA/PATA/IDE drives of any kind, then yes it will. But be warned, make sure that you get one that's working properly and undefective, perferably a new one. Trust me, I got mine new and it works fine.

Hi, it is compatible with any SATA hard drive; however it is recommended to avoid green consumer drives such as the WD Green or Blue. Thanks!

Depends upon your OS. Most new OS can handle it. You also need a certain sort of connector to a motherboard that handles the SATA spec.

Yes, it will work for a SATA DVD drive. I don't recall if it came with a SATA cable.

This hard drive is compatible with sata 6gb? I hope your early reply thank you in advance.

As long as it's sata it should work. I have this being used on a Sata III port.

You can use any Sata drive. They must be the same size. If they're dissimilar sizes it will only be as large as the smallest drive. So far it's worked flawlessly
869113
Yes it should. It has 2 SATA connectors not one. You should be more concern with will it fit in you PC case? Does the mounting screws hole match up? I hope this is helpful. Bye

Yes it will. Just not to full capacity. SATA 2 caps at 3gb/sec instead of 6gb/sec which the drive is capable of.

Good question, it works with every other SATA .. it shouldn't be a problem. I haven't tried it on an SSD.

As long as the harddrive is 2.5'' and SATA format, yes. Be sure to check it before you buy this.

It works with any Sata drive. Mine is Seagate 5400.6 500GB. I am sure it works with your hard drive
1205846
Yes. with this you can use SATA drive, I have used this on my HP Laptop works flawlessly.Thank you,Srinivas

Should be compatible, just make sure you know what type of cable connection ports you have IDE or SATA, it is a simple swap.

This will work with any Hard Drive that has a SATA port. I just looked up your drive and it does have a SATA connection so you're good to go.
