Could I put this into a external usb Sabrent case because of the size? null

Question

Zigmaster · Accepted Answer

I'm not exactly sure what a Sabrent case is. If it's made for a 3.5" sata drive, then it should work. I have two Insignia USB cases for 3.5" drives. one has the 2TB WD Drive.
 the other has a 1TB WD Drive in it. Both are working just fine. Other than that, I don't Know.

As long as you can put a standard 2.5" hard drive in the case, it will fit. But... I'm not sure if this will be a good idea. Look: USB 2.0 and 3.0 are slower in terms of data transfer if compared to what this SSD drive can handle. It will create a bottleneck, it will not be faster than a regular drive. If you want a system super fast (laptop or desktop computers), use it internally to replace the existing one, and you will see the results. For external ultra fast transfer, you may use an external SATA enclosure, and probably the new USB 3.1 will be a good choice.

Should be no problem. It is the regular size. The mounting holes are in different locations but you can kind of modify your bracket to mount it.

That will depend on the model and size of your case. The case needs to be a 3.5 inch, SATA case. This is NOT a smaller 2.5 inch drive. Here is the case builders web site: www.sabrent.com - Look up the case model you have and I am sure it will let you know what type of drive it will take. If you still have a question, take it to your local Best Buy and ask them for help. They are great at service !! Best of luck ..
