Can I use this in a external hard drive enclosure?

You can put the hard drive anywhere you want, But, you need the cables from your computer for connections. You can't use a USB cable. You need the same cables that are plugged into the hard drive in your computer.

Yes, you can as long as the drive you are connecting it to has an extra port.

This can only if the harddrive itself didn't die. It comes with cables so you do not have to buy any cables. So if you think your Sata cables or something elese went wrong this may be an opition. I used this because my old external harddrive pcb board died but the HDD was fine so I got this put it in and it was good to go. It is the cheapest option I hope it works but if it doesn't then your HDD died.

Sorry, I cannot answer your technical question. Perhaps you could access the G-Technology G-Drive website. It may provide the specifications, technical information and applications for your external hard drive.

The capacity limit is dictated by the SATA standard (SATA II or SATA III) of the drive rather than the enclosure. Therefore as long as your drive conforms to a known SATA standard between I and III it should work just fine.

It should work in an external enclosure just fine. But TRIM is not supported over USB (I think). You need to partition and format the drive before Windows can see it. Right click My Computer, select Manage, then go to Disk Management. This should show you if the drive is present. If the drive was partitioned and formatted prior to being inserted in the USB case, then something is wrong somewhere. The USB enclosure is bad or something is wrong with the drive.

I have two of them that I use with CD/DVD drives. Your external drive is already in a case so you would have to first remove the drive mechanism from the original case. One complaint I have about the Sabrent drives is that the fans go bad fairly quickly, making noise and not cooling well.

no you need Sabrent Ultra Slim USB 2.0 to 2.5-Inch SATA External Aluminum Hard Drive Enclosure [Black] (EC-UK25)

Yes, if your external drive has a female slot you can use the one with the male USB-A end.

There are Sata to IDE adapters, but you will not be able to use it in this enclosure as it only fits SATA drives.

Sure, you can use an external enclosure and use it as a backup drive. Just remember that it's a 2.5 inch drive (like in laptops), not a regular 3.5 inch (like in a pc).Cheers

I'm able to use this drive as external drive and internal. You need to install the connector based on your application.

Yes; I have extracted a number of laptop drives from dead laptops and used in this manner. Any drive enclosure made for appropriate drive type will work.

Agree with previous two answers. However, if you want to move data to an external drive, yes.

Here is the way I did it. I bought this item: Sabrent USB 2.0/ESATA TO 3.5 Inch IDE or SATA/SATA II Aluminum Hard Drive Enclosure Case with Cooling Fan (EC-UEIS7). it worked for me and then I used the hard drive for other things. Good luck

I am not sure, but here is where you should be able to find out: http://www.seagate.com/support/external-hard-drives/

This enclosure should work. But note that it is a snap together plastic enclosure. You can't take a drive out and reuse the enclosure. It was designed to be sold as an external drive with the drive included. It is not reusable like enclosures designed to be sold alone as enclosures.UPDATE: Found the video about taking it apart without breaking pins. Cool.ALSO: I believe Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 drives are always SATA.
