What model hard drive should I use this with?

Any SATA 2.5 inch portable drive will work with this enclosure. It comes with USB 3.0 micro B connector which I don't like. It doesn't stay in there very well and can come out with even a small pull.

Hard drives are relatively universal, if there's enough space in the drive bay to fit, you can put it in there.Remember, this is a Serial ATA drive, you may need an adapter depending on the sort of connector. Could you open up the drive bay and show me the connectors on the device? If not, at least provide a description of how the drive is connected.

You can use any 3 1/2" Sata Hard Drive for this system Just need to know where to look Try e-bay or craigslist

Any new hard drive should work just fine. Look at pcpartpicker.com for a good resource to piece together compatible parts. Its an excellent site that allows you to choose your parts one by one, only showing other compatible parts.

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

This should be compatible with it. Any 2.5 HDDs I have used have been compatible with it.

It should work fine, it looks like the stock hard drive on that model was a SATA II at 5400 RPM's. So this model should work just fine as a replacement.

sorry to say, you have the wrong adaptor... you have to buy the model for the kind of HD you have...

recommends at least 400. I have a 500 but I'm running several drives. 300 might be OK if u only have one HD and a CD drive

I think most modern laptops in the last 5 plus years will work with this hard drive. My bet is it will. The issue to consider is how will you use the hard drive? Will you image your old drive or install a fresh build?

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 contacted my external hard drive mfg. (Seagate) via web & then called. They researched the item, gave me the model # for the item and recommended Amazon for best price!Received it quickly and am very happy!

I have no idea. Your model is not one they covered in the comparable seagate products. If the voltage is right then there is a good chance the plug that goes into the Hard Drive id the right size but that is no guarantee.

I don't think it matters. From the PDF it looks like they're both sata connections. I think I picked the one that gave the hard drive the most room.

I would recommend using one on Thecus's compatibility list: http://www.thecus.com/download/compatibility/hdd/N4520SERIES_N2800_N4800_N4800Eco_N5550_N4510U_N7510_HDD_SSD_list.pdfAlso consider that Enterprise rated drives will last longer and potentially perform a bit faster, but might not be worth the price bump for just backups.

I'm not familiar with your machine. If it uses 3.5" SATA hard disk. This would be the one to use.
