is that a serious question?
Nolan Wright
No OP, the hard-drives they use in laptops are actually softer so they won't get damaged by the laptop moving around. It simply won't be recognised by a Hard-SATA cable that desktops use
Adrian Johnson
no you can not since it is a quantum mechanical anti matter reflector connector the only is to buy a shield deflector array manager and force the plasma into the platter
Landon Fisher
It literally says Laptop SSHD on it, OP not Desktop HDD
Get out of here with your dumb questions

You can shove it up your ass and do some jumping jacks, and then bleed to death internally you fucking faggot. Read the sticky. Jow Forums is NOT your tech support.
Jaxson Fisher
It's fine just make sure to microwave it before swapping from laptop to desktop platforms, and vice versa.

I only asked a short friendly question. I’m planning to build a new pc with my step son and wanted to save some cash, that’s all.

Sure. It uses a standard SATA interface. Just plug the SATA power plug, then a SATA cable to the board, and power it up. Windows will recognize it.

What the FUCK did Seagate mean by this?
Evan Gonzalez
Yes, it's literally just a smaller form factor, the interface is the same.

Might need an adapter because sometimes laptop drives combine the SATA and power into one single interface cable, but yes you can.
Levi Jackson
Don't listen to these retards, they're trying to get you to brick your PSU because the laptop interface feeds unused power back, to save energy in a laptop, and desktop PSUs can't deal with the surges from this.
Do NOT use this in any machine you care about.
Xavier Jones
Yes, you can.
Matthew Murphy
yes, it has normal SATA and SATA power connectors.
Your case might not have a bay of the proper dimension to screw it to though. There are adaptors available, you cam ghetto mod something, or just leave it lie down (but careful when moving the case then).
Xavier Miller
Thanks for your responses, I’ll look into it
Blake Gomez
yes
Jonathan Reed
If you don't even know if you can use a laptop hard drive in a desktop PC, you're too stupid to build a PC.
Ian Parker
idiot. it's an electronic device that consumes power. it does not 'feed back power'. it uses what it needs, it does not 'return' power. nice troll attempt though.
Dylan Jones
You should be fine to use it in a desktop. Just get pic related on Amazon or at your local electronics store and you’re good to go
