You must have a SATA hard drive installed in the unit in order to function. Installation of the drive is quite easy. The instructions/operations manual supplied is very poor. It will take a lot of rereading. Many abbreviations and terms are unknown to the average person. SANNCE does not respond to technical questions or issues of failure.

Hardly any do. And hard drives are cheap. You can get one for under 50 bucks.

Very easy. But I would strongly recommend the larger disk size, the OS and some software will fill a good portion of the drive. Worth the extra money upfront

Physically you will need a 2.5 to 3.5 mounting adapter and a SATA connection. I personally recommend installing the OS from scratch and then copying the data over from the old drive. If that is not practical then use Ghost, Acrounis or other imaging software. If you do image then there are a number of important setting adjustments that need to be made that are beyond the scope of this reply that can be found at http://thessdreview.com/ under Guides.

SATA Casing only means you'll need to get a 2.5" SATA hard drive to install. It does not come with a hard drive.

Don't understand question. If you are asking is it hard to replace hard drive, it is a medium task job. To replace keyboard, it's a lot harder.

In order to install Windows 7, the HD would need to be reformatted. Then you would need to purchase a copy of Windows 7. Installing an SSD drive and RAM is relatively simple.

Hello Customer, I own this device and have had no trouble using it and installing the hard disk drives(s). The first thing that you may want to be sure to know is which type of hard drive you are trying to install. This device will only accept SATA drives. Drives with a wide, 40 pin data connector and a white 4 pin power connector will not work This type of drive is called an IDE and it can be converted into a USB drive by installing it into a case with a wide flat, gray and black connector, data cable and a white, 4 pin power connector. The connectors that are used on a SATA drive are black for the power and a skinny, orange cable with a black connector for SATA. Please note, this device will only accept SATA drives. During the process of installing the SATA drives into this device, place the drive in the top or bottom slot, face up and slide it in to place. You will know when the drive is fully engaged into the connectors when the screw holes on the drive lineup with the holes on the frame that will hold the drives in place. Please note,the drives will only connect properly if inserted into the tray in the right way. Once the drive or drives are installed and screwed down into the frame, insert the frame back into the case and insert the screws to hold the case together. Next, connect the USB cable to the case and connect the power cord and plug the power cord into a working outlet. With the device connected, power up the device and allow a few minutes for the computer to recognize it. If running Windows 7, Vista, 8 or 8.1, and even XP, no special software is needed for this device in order for it to work. After powering on the device, give it a few minutes for the system to recognize it and once recognized, a window will appear showing the drive letter and the drive information. You are ready to drag and drop files and folders onto the new storage drive. Good luck and have fun.

Installing a game, Idk, but I do know from experience that it is not formated like a normal hard drive is, and will need someone with advanced programing experience for some features to work.

This particular model came with no hard drive and I ended up purchasing a Western Digital 500 gigabyte hard drive and install it myself - very easy to do. Itended up being cheaper to do it this way than to purchase it with the hard drive already installed.

Yes. Just make sure you have a 64 Bit computer. I had a 32 Bit and it sovled my problems. You will still need an OS disk to place on your new hard drive.

depending on the wear level a 64 GB drive should last a basic install a decently long time. as long as you limit the write-wear that you stress on it, it will survive.

Initial setup should be done by connecting to your PC. Once that is complete you can use it as a 'normal' external hard drive.

The installtion is not difficult at all. In fact the only thing you need to do is take out the packaging and plug in the power cord into the outlet. Here's the link and hope it will help. http://youtu.be/E-0hWvbEvdQ

It is super easy, but if you are asking this you may want to have someone else install it. Here is a link to an installation; http://www.2addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=998321
