As long as your Power supply, BIOS and Motherboard can handle it, I see no reason that you can't use it for backup of data. I do it quite often but I don't use Mfr's puters - I build my own from scratch.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes you can but you are better of getting an "external" hdd. The one you are asking about is usually for replacing a burnt crashed drive,or upgrading a low gig drive.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you are going to mount it inside a the computer, then yes. You could also go with an external USB hardd rive. But then what are you going to do if a tornado or hurrican comes through and you main computer and your back up drive wind up miles away in a lake? Or a fire destoys both? Or a burglar takes both? You should consider a cloud based backup such as Carbonite. They backup immeaditaly without you having to do naything.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes. You can also use it as a backup drive - If you have an external enclosure, just install the drive in the enclosure and use it as a backup.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, if your system used SATA drives.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You should be able to name this drive as a Back-up, or whatever name you decide,or just let your system assign a drive letter to it, then start to back up your main system. I used mine to back up one of my servers.
