Question 1

Can I use this as an external drive in an enclosure?

Accepted Answer

Yes. As long as it fits in the enclosure and the enclosure has the correct connector you are good to go. The same can be said for any Internal drive. The only difference between an Internal drive and an external drive with a few exceptions (soldered in place) is that an external drive is an Internal drive placed in an external enclosure.

Question 2

Does this include a SATA cable and hard drive screws?

Accepted Answer

No my friend, just the drive alone.

Question 3

is this OEM or Retail ?

Accepted Answer

OEM
original equipment manufacturer, an organization that makes devices from component parts bought from other organizations

Your question is poorly worded, irrelevant, and conveys ignorance.

Question 4

Will this fit inside a HP Pavilion 15z laptop as an extra drive?

Accepted Answer

Inside the HP Pavilion 15Z laptop there's room for:
1 x 2.5" mobile hard drive (or 2.5" SSHD Hybrid drive) 
and
1 x M.2 SATA SSD which is a physically smaller, faster drive..

If your laptop has only the physically smaller M.2 SATA SSD then, yes, you may add a WD Blue 2.5" Mobile Hard Drive as an extra drive.

If your laptop already has a 2.5" Mobile Hard Drive installed then you can replace it with the WD Blue 2.5" model, but you cannot add a WD Blue 2.5" as an extra drive because there is only room for one 2.5" drive.

If you search for HP Pavilion 15Z Maintenance Guide you will find a link to download the guide which describes how to install or replace both types of drive.

WD Blue 2.5" is a reputable model trusted by many users worldwide.

Question 5

Will this work for a PS4?

Accepted Answer

Yes it will, but you will need to download the PS4 update and put it on a flash drive, the instructions for this are at playstations website google PS4 Hard drive replacement.  Depending on what games you play a Solid state drive or SSD will give you much faster load times on a PS4 look for a 2.5" SSD. Past that I would not buy a drive from a marketplace seller as 8 times out of 10 they are selling used drives. Make sure your buying from the store where you are shopping at (look for Ship and sold by: Newegg).

Question 6

Can I use this for my Dell Studio 1737 Laptop as a second hard drive?

Accepted Answer

The WD Blue 1TB 5400 RPM 128MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 2.5" Mobile Hard Drive is compatible with most standard 9.5mm bays, which should include the bay in your Dell Studio 1737 Laptop.

Question 7

Yes, AcronisTrue Image WD Edition Software is available as a free download on the WD Support site, which enables you to copy all your data to a new drive.
