Bare drive just means the drive has to be installed into a enclosed system ie;dvr, computer.

A "bare drive" is a drive offered by a seller without cables, literature or any other materials normally provided and packaged by retail manufacturer/seller. Such "bare drives" are typically packaged appropriately for protection during shipping. My experience with "bare drives" has been as good.

It is simply an empty enclosure, so whatever drive you put in it determines usage. I pulled an old hard drive from an old computer.

It is just the bare drive, basically a circuit board in a plastic shell. Very thin and light. The connector is a SATA plug-in. If you're replacing a notebook drive, it should plug right in. I would get an adapter bracket and cable for a 3.5" drive bay in a desktop. My bare-bones HTPC came with the adapter.

No the drive is completely enclosed, but you should check to see if your unit is EIDE (ATA) or SATA (serial ATA) adapters are available should you need one.

Sorry, but I don't know. My wife hasn't even half-filled the 1TB drive yet!

Exactly as it says, just the case with no drive. You should get the case only if you want to put in your own drive, much cheaper.

to you it looks like 1 drive. The firmware on the drive uses the ssd for the most active files. you don't control that. format the partition and load your os. i think you will like it! I am really very happy with the performance; it is very smooth and very consistent.

There is no drive. You need to install one after you buy the unit. This is a pretty good product. I used a 1TB Sata drive. Just pop open the case, plug in and mount the drive. Then put the case back together. Turn it on. Then follow the GUI prompts. Install the drive before you power in the unit.

Mine was just a drive in a box. However, Seagate drivers are online with good support, especially Seagate Tools, which is why I prefer this brand.

The drive I got was a bare drive so it came with nothing extra.You usually pay more for one as a retail package with install disc and all.

No, it's an unformatted drive with no software loaded. You will need your own software to load.

Its strictly a DVD drive. And no discrete graphics card. Its integrated shared memory type only.

Just jumping in to confirm that even though this comes up in a search for laptop drives, it is a desktop drive. The title and tech details don't tell you that unless you click the link for more info - which is unfortunate. I got fooled ...

Yes, that is what reading means. Plug it into a computer and it works just like a built-in disk drive would. That isn't a stupid question. I have seen a lot of drives on Amazon that are only writeable, and descriptions can be unclear.
