Hello,can 2 different sized hd,s (500 gb &amp; 1tb) be used in the same desk top computer. Thanks

Yes. I have had a computer had a 500GB plus a 1.5TB. And another with 2 SSDs which are relatively small volume and a 2TB HD. As long as you have the power and connectors you are free to add in as many of any size as you want.

That will depend on your OS and drive manufacturer. I'm using Win 7 and a Seagate drive so I had to partition my 3TB into 2 logical drives. Don't quite understand why but that's what Seagate said I had to do.

This will work in any desktop with an open SATA port, but this NAS drive is especially suited to devices that will run 24x7 (like a NAS, or Network Attached Storage device). Seagate makes another version of this drive that might be a less expensive alternative for a "normal" desktop.

As per the website, 2x3 tb can be use. So your 4tb don't look to be compatible.

Yes, you can put 2 SSD Card on it. I have a 1TB und a 500MB Samsung, just great !

No, this HD is only for desk top use. Special reduced size HD's are used for laptops. They are not interhcangeable. However, EXTERNAL hard drives will work on both.

I currently have a 1tb usb drive connected and it works great. I don't see why it wouldn't support 2tb.

NEW SATA 500GB Hard Drive for HP Pavilion DV9000 "Laptop" Hard drive for a lap top. I don't know if it will work for a desk top PC.

If your desktop machine is the same as mine, you can add another drive in the removable slot. It must be a sata drive.

There are two types of hard drives, only the desk top are bigger and laptop smaller, if your hard drive is small it will fit and work properly. You just need to re install the OS and all the programs for the computer to work 100%.

That should not be a problem where the hardware is concerned. However, keep in mind your partitioning scheme. You will want to do a GPT partition table (as opposed to MSDOS partition table) with any partitions over 2TB. How you go about that will depend on the OS that you are using.

Sorry, I run Windows, don't do "I" products, the actual available storage is slightly less than 500GB's, so if you need 500 I'd go bigger, there is a 750 & a 1TB on Amazon

Yes, just be sure you do not install any programs on the drive or they may not run. If you are using the 2nd drive just for data it should be fine.

Yes, you can. That's the main reason I bought it. Just make sure your HD is 2TB or less. It works great!

sure be ok. it is ok when i use the 1Tb. but it is better that you check with the Seagate service team

Yes. This is for a desktop case where you would normally have 1 3.5 inch hard drive. You can put two SSD hard drives in place of 1 3.5 inch drive.

If you are trying to use this as an internal HDD, you might want to double check on the size there. That's a 3.5" HDD commonly used in desktops; unless you were planning on using this drive in an external HDD rig I would suggest you look into the 2.5" HDDs.*Suggestion: go with <Western Digital Bare Drives 2.5 Inch, Low Profile, 5400 RPM, SATA II, 8MB Cache 500GB Mobile Hard Drive, Blue WD5000LPVT> it's only $3 more ($43.99) than that desktop HDD for double the capacity.
