Can I use my old regular 250GB SATA III 2.5'' Laptop Hard Disks in to it? or do i have to buy nas or raid?

No, you can not. The device takes 3.5 inch drives and can not use 2.5 inch drives.

I would not recommend doing that. Having owned two of these I can say that these "wanky" units do not respond well to any modifications. All the software is embedded in the unit/on a chip. Stick with Lenovo/Iomega's specs for the hard drives with regards to disk size and rpm. That is what I would do based on my experience.

I assume you were taking the drive from your inspiron? Like previous answer you need a SATA enclosure if this one does not have the right connectors. This one is only for very old drives. Also you're getting the drive from a desktop (not a laptop) you need the 3.5" enclosure.

No. This is an enterprise drive designed for servers with small form factor drive bays as are all of the Constellation 2.5" drives. This drive has a SAS (serial attached SCSI) interface and must be attached to a SAS controller (SATA will NOT work). Constellation 2.5" drives (SAS and SATA) are much too thick to fit in a laptop - about twice the height of typical SATA laptop drives.

SATA 2.5 (laptop drives) work with this, SATA 3.5 (desktop computer hard drives) you need the bigger enclosure they also sell on amazon. I used this with my Playstation 3 hard drive. If you have the hard drive out already it should be about 2.5 inches width, if you bought it somehwere they should list it in the info in the specs.

I have Sata II WD Black drives in mine. However I would suggest a different Raid bay. This one has its own raid card and it works intermittently. There is a lack of support for the card and its very cumbersome.

Yup, most definitely. All modern laptops (the last 10 years+) use SATA type 2.5" hard drives.

Yes, this is only the case, you will have to buy the sata disk (HDD of SDD). Remember to get the correct height for it, if not do what I did, I just had a 1TB drive, install it and put tape around it to keep it secure until I get a new drive with the correct height.//

Yes, but why use this old card now for RAID? The SATA supports only 150 MB/s. Most new drives will be SATA III, 6Gb/s or up to 550 GB/s. Just my $0.02 worth.

You can start with one drive and add drives as needed. Of course if you don't use at least 2 drives you can't RAID them. The NAS will pick an appropriate RAID configuration automatically, but you can override it if you like. You can even mix disk sizes but that is not the best solution. You should use SATA 6 drives. As you add new drives the system recognizes them and reconfigures your system.

Yes, you can put up to 3 units of WD Red 3TB NAS Hard Drives in the Lenovo ThinkServer TS140, in a RAID configuration.

6TB Drives are supported. I am currently running it on my DS2413+ NAS.https://www.synology.com/en-us/compatibility/hd/DS2413+

Yes, you can. That's the main reason I bought it. Just make sure your HD is 2TB or less. It works great!

You can use any SATA drive, I think. I would recommend a drive intended for continuous use, such as a NAS drive. I picked a WD Red, 4TB,

I think you want: Lenovo 03X3703 TS440 3.5" HDD CageI've been researching this and i think you would then need a " discrete RAID adapter for SATA/SAS" in order to manage the additional drive caddy.

The hard drive is not included. You have to use a 2.5" hard drive. The ones that are sized for laptops. Sata as well.

I tried to find information about the hard drive,but didn't have enough data.The model number of the old laptop would probably help.It does need to be a sata & preferably at least 160 gig.The voltage is o.k.I see from some of the other answers it should be sata & 160 gig.

Yes, You absolutely can... I recommend buying a 250 gb hard drive. They cheap and it will help you a lot...
