Can I use it as external drive for laptop?

Yes it is basically a laptop drive with an expanded case to fit where a bigger internal hard drive would go, just take the frame off the drive or buy a case for the full drive as it is shipped.

are these new drives or ones or are they previously used?

This is a previously owed, speaking about the one I own it performs flawlessly, as a matter of fact it works so well I purchased another one.
