Question 1

Does this hard drive need a cradle and an IDE to SATA connector?  If so, where can I get these part in the USA??

Accepted Answer

There shouldn't be any extra parts needed since this is a regular SATA 2.5" (laptop sized) hard drive. Only if you were using this in a desktop (which, then it would be cheaper to buy a desktop hard drive!) would you need possibly a 2.5" to 3.5" mounting adapter. Hope that helps!

Question 2

Will this fit in an ASUS ROG G751JL?

Accepted Answer

It's a thin 7mm drive, so I would say probably yes.  But you should verify the dimension of your existing drive first.

Question 3

quick question, can this fit in the side compartment for the Bit-fenix Prodigy M? The mounting way is 4 small screws on the bottom or top of the hard-drive. I wanted to get another SSD but its just to expensive for the storage I want, and this is just what I wanted.

Accepted Answer

Yes , it will  work just fine .

you will need a rail conversion kit .

2.5" TO 3.5" BAY SSD HDD NOTEBOOK HARD DISK DRIVE METAL MOUNTING BRACKET ADAPTER KIT,   any brand will work , cheap is not always better here . one to see what it is .

Question 4

Does it work on a PS4?

Accepted Answer

Works great on PS4. Remember to save your game data and trophie info. Everything else can be downloaded again from the store.

Question 5

Speed?

Accepted Answer

I use this drive to transfer large video captures (4GB-40GB) from my SSD.  The transfer rate is rock-steady at 117MB/sec.

Question 6

can I use this one for games on my pc like steam and play my games on it  ????

Accepted Answer

If you install this drive in your laptop, install an operating system, and install your games, then, yes, of course you can use this as part of your system to play games.  Game play is affected by more than the hard drive, however.  The speed of your laptop and graphics card your PC has installed will have more effect than the hard drive as far as game play is concerned.

Question 7

Seagate ST2000LM007 2TB 128MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 2.5" Internal Notebook Hard Drive - WHAT IS THE RPM rotational speed of this drive - 5400 or 7200 or ???

Accepted Answer

5400RPM

Question 8

Has anybody tried these in a RAID array? I'm looking for a 2TB upgrade for my 2.5" RAID array to replace 1TB REDs.

Accepted Answer

It will work with hardware and software RAIDs but remember it is a mobile drive not intended for continuous use so if you are using it where it could be accessed 24/7 be cautious about corrupted data
