Q: QuestionIs this 2.5in or 3.5in?(10 answers)
A: AnswerA 3.5 in hard drive for DESKTOPS ONLYAnswered by apple101
- A: AnswerThe interface is SATA. That doesn't mean you will get SATA speeds. Hard drives are typically very slow compared to SSDs. This one is no exception. Don't use it as a boot drive. Only use this for extra storage.

Q: QuestionWill this internal hard drive work with Windows XP?(4 answers)
A: AnswerI am a Windows "old timer". I have been slowly upgrading my versions only because a certain Tax software forces me to upgrade in order to work. My current Windows is 7 PRO 64 bit. The whole world keeps telling me to move up to Windows 10 because 7 is dead. I HATE 10. The reason I bought the hard drive was to partition it to handle both the 7pro and the 10. Was told it couldn't be done, no way no how. That was all I needed to hear. Right now I am the proud owner of a 2TB hard drive that defaults to W 7 and allows me to click to W10 when I am forced to do my taxes. The 2TB gives me all the room I will need for years to come. If I can put 7 PRO on it you should be able to put XP on it. I hated leaving XP Pro behind but the programs demanded the upgrade to 7. It is still my favorite version even though there is no longer any Windows support for it. Just take note of the cable connection. If you are still using the old version of Windows chances are your PC is older and the hard drive has the same footprint as the older ones, but the cable is different.Answered by StateIslandMichael
Q: QuestionIs WD Blue 2TB (WDBH2D0020HNC-NRSN) a CMR or SMR drive?(2 answers)
A: AnswerI believe it is an SMR drive. WD20EZAZ is the actual drive number if you would like to research yourself. But from what I found, it is an SMR drive.Answered by NotShus
- A: AnswerSATA requires both the data cable connecting the drive to the motherboard and a power cable coming from the power supply. The power cable connector is roughly twice as wide as the data cable connector and will be included as standard with any modern power supply. Some prebuilt computers only have two SATA power cables. If you can't find one, your optical drive will have one plugged into it (if you choose to sacrifice the optical drive you could use that one). If you do not have one available, buy a Molex to SATA adapter (should only be a few dollars). Your power supply should have Molex available, which looks like four large pins in a straight line.

Q: Questionis this device compatible with a Dell Optiplex 9010?(2 answers)
A: AnswerYes it is. This drive will work in any PC supporting a SATA interface, which includes the Optiplex 9010.Answered by dp0219
Q: QuestionIs this going to work on a Apple MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2012)?(4 answers)
A: AnswerThis is a 3.5 inch internal HDD for a desktop computer or NAS (network attached storage) device. A laptop usually needs a 2.5 inch HDD.Answered by RoyC
- A: AnswerI don’t know, man. I have one of these exact drives installed in my computer as a secondary drive, and I have no noticeable noise coming from it. I’d be concerned if it were me, but there’s no way the failure rate is that high.
