I would definitely buy a metal bracket. A good one is only $5. These drives do get hot under heavy load and the bracket will sink some of the heat into the case and allow fan air to go around it. don't get one of those cheap plastic brackets. You'll only save a few dollars for cheap junk

This might be a very very late answer but yes, most SSD drives have an adapter to make them fit into a standard HDD slot.As for the people that say DVD slots are also 3.5" that is incorrect, the Optical Drive slots are 4.5" whereas the Floppy/HDD and accessory slots are 3.5", Hope this helps!

This hard drive comes with a 2mm adapter that takes the hard drive from 7.5mm to 9.5mm. this is for laptops that originally came with a 9.5mm hard drive. If you want to mount this in a desktop case you'll need a 2.5" to 3.5" hard drive adapter. that will allow it to be mounted in the same spot as your current 3.5" desktop hard drive. some cases have 2.5 as well as 3.5 mounting spots...but that's usually home made computers...and not manufactured ones. good luck.

and with a metal bracket to make it fit, in many desktops, not all, look for 2.5" side mounts in newer DT cases. mine has that.

Don't waste money on an adapter. Just stick it to any cool place inside the case with velcro & you will be OK.

the 3.5" slot is the correct size for all normal HDDs and DVD drives. most likely your case only has 3.5" slots, so you will need an additional 2.5" bracket. the SSD will screw into the bracket and then the bracket will slide into the 3.5" slot.

No sorry, don't know.I only have an old desktop. But I figure the plug-in attachments are standardised so it might. But better to ask someone who knows for sure.

Yes you can, but be careful, this adapter is very fragile and easy to break.

I'm afraid not, this device is to be used in a PC, desktop or laptop because drivers must be installed, it works without any fault for its intended use.

Normally that works just fine. I have those adapters on my computer.. PCLiquidations.com

I don't think so. I have a desktop and had to add a 3.0 usb card. Don't think you can do it wit laptop.Jack

This adapter is specifically for output to another monitor from a Computer or Laptop... so it is an output device only. I would not expect it to be able to work as an input device at all.

Yes you can. I have them on both for the same reason. Both of mine are desktops.

No, you can't. For whatever reason, Acer decided to use a proprietary power supply with a custom connector to the motherboard that's not commercially available. There's no way to plug in a normal power supply. This means the PCI-Express slot for video cards is pretty much useless unless you find a card that can run off of the built-in 300W power supply.

You'd need a HDMI to VGA from laptop to this unit, then a VGA to VGA to the desktop. Make sure each end is correct male or female.

No, this is a desktop processor. You will not be able to put this into that laptop.

This card only works in a Desktop, it fits in a PCI-E slot, make sure your desktop has the correct slot available for this card and a large enough power supply.

I am not using the adapter for that purpose. My need was to connect a second monitor to my desktop and it works perfectly. Installation was easy, plug the monitor cable into the adapter and plug the adaptor to the DVI port on the computer. Done, now have two monitors.

I don't know exactly. I has a USB port connection and a adapter it is designed to be used with a standard PC.

Yes. I am using the adapters both ways. I have 2 desktops and one I use a SATA to IDE adapter to run a CD/DVD/BD drive and on the other one I use a IDE to SATA adapter with a similar drive.

I use it to extend the desktop from my laptop to another monitor and it works just fine. I don't have personal experience beyond that. If you are extending to more monitors than the main and one more, you may be able to use two adaptors; just a guess.
