Can this SSD be mounted in a desktop computer? null

Question

Sam, Assuming your desktop has an available SATA port on the motherboard and an available SATA power cable connection that can reach the drive bay - yes. You may also need a drive caddy that adapts the 2 1/2 in. SSD drive to a 3 1/2 in. drive bay. There are several different types of these drive caddies around, and some work better than others. I have done this a few times for desktops when replacing a failed hard drive or just upgrading to SSD for performance. It is well worth the cost and effort!

Heck yes it can be mounted in a desktop computer it weighs so little I like to put them in a hard drive bay and put a small amount of clear silicon on the bottom to hold it in

Yes. You just have to buy a 3.5 bay mounting bracket.

Yes, you may want an adapter so its not just hanging there, but yes it can attach to any sata cable connectors (like in a desktop)

Nate · Answer

Yes, this drive has many screw holes for different mounting points. You may need a bracket to fit your case.

James · Answer

Yes, you will need to be sure you have a SATA3 connection on your motherboard or buy a SATA3 PCI card. Also don't forget the Sata3 cable as this is ONLY the drive.
