I have a 320 gb WD SATA / 8mb Cache, could I use this hard with that machine?

I myself used it to salvage, format both a 300GB and a 250GB WD disk drives without any problems.Also used it to migrate Windows 7 Pro from a 120GB SSD to a 512GB SSD. Worked without a hitch.Reformatted the 120GB SSD in it afterwards, and now use it as an external disk drive in the unit.Device was tried on both esata and usb3 worked fine on both interfaces.

From the specifications I looked at YES should work.These are the specs that I used to give the answer:Storage Hard drive size 250GB Hard drive speed 5400 rpmOptical Drive Super Drive (DVD WR/ CD WR)Type of harddrive SATAMemoryMaximum memory Up to 8GBNumber of memory slots 2Installed RAM 2GB Type of memory DDR3If the above specs look like yours you can upgraade with 2 sticks of 4GB eachTotal after upgrade 8GBAt these prices and performance you cannot go wrong.Geo

Yes. I simply added a formatted 500 gig sata drive and it works fine. That is if it doesn't come with one in the box....check to see what it is listed with.

You can use any SATA drive, I think. I would recommend a drive intended for continuous use, such as a NAS drive. I picked a WD Red, 4TB,

It would probably work but I'd imagine the speed wouldn't be any better for than any other sata 1 drive you've had. If possible you should pick up a PCI SATA 3.0 controller or at least a 2.0 controller an use it that way if anything. Otherwise it might not even be worth it unless you plan to use it for a future build also.

In not sure but I'm going to say no. Since you have to install drivers for this hdd before using it.

If you have this drive installed in your pc with the drive utility software there should not be a problem. What type of motherboard and CPU are you using?

Not likely. Your machine uses IDE drives and this is a SATA drive, I suspect you need Seagate ST3320620A 320GB Barracuda 7200.10rpm 16MB Cache IDE Ultra ATA100 / ATA-6 3.5" Hard DriveBTW, your machine will allow you to add a second drive, so if your original drive is functional but out of space, a second drive may help (but if you are not comfortable working on these machines, you may need to hire someone to install a second drive)

Yes. The populated version comes with WD Red drives. Should read that in the description.

It should be fine. SATA II drives are supposed to be backward compatible with first-generation SATA motherboards. There are a few exceptions to the automatic adjustment, but WD has a fix for that involving a jumper on the HDD:http://wdc.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/wdc.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=1337

You should be fine. The target drive has to be SATA, but the source drive will be read by the controller on the mobo. The supplied cord will not plug into the old drive, so you won't be able to use it to interface the old drive later.

I have not tried it, but it should be fine. It doesn't care what SATA drive you plug in really, it's up to the OS to figure that out anyway.

I don't see why not. I used to have a SATA drive in an external enclosure, formatted for Windoze and used as an eSATA drive. It worked for quite a while 'til the drive failed.

Should be able to use it as long as it is a SATA ( serial )drive. Older IDE drives are not compatible.

Yes, Under x64 16TB is seen depending on your configuration, partition type, For more info please See: https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2581408?wa=wsignin1.0

Very unlikely unless you have a SATA to mSATA adapter which can cause data integrity issues
