Yes... It says this in the specs too. In fact the package includes both the USB _and_ eSata cables.

As long as the unit has SATA drive protocol, there is no reason why it shouldn't work.

You only have to worry about two major things: form factor, which is whether or not it will physically fit the device (HDDs are generally only 2.5" or 3.5") and interface, which is how it electronically connects (usually SATA currently, but mSATA is here and you can still find PATA, SCSI and others).If those match, it will function. You might want bigger or faster or quieter, but it would still function.

I have not tried it, but it should be fine. It doesn't care what SATA drive you plug in really, it's up to the OS to figure that out anyway.

Don't worry, it works... Back then all the hard drives had the EIDE configuration, it will work... For then, the industry switched to SATA...buy it, it will work as long as your laptop has the same EIDE connection...

That's what I use it for. As long as the HD isn't damaged and the files aren't corrupted it should work.

Very unlikely unless you have a SATA to mSATA adapter which can cause data integrity issues

I, I believe that some of the SATA cable has the power connections built into them and some don't. If you have an power connector off to one side I would say it should work.

If it is a SATA, you should be able to connect it to the larger drive and test it.

if you pull the external hard drive from its case it will work unless the internal hard drive uses an older PATA (EIDE) connector instead of SATA, anything from 2006 and above should have an SATA connector generally speaking.

I don't see a problem as long as your computer can recognize a 4TB hard drive.

If it is a desktop it will. I dont see why it shouldnt. This works like any other harddrive but faster and with less space than most common harddrives nowdays

Depends upon your OS. Most new OS can handle it. You also need a certain sort of connector to a motherboard that handles the SATA spec.

I am not sure. If the hard drive won't boot at all then no, but if it's just like the operating system crashed but the hard drive still works then yes

Since I used a 1TB SATA drive, there is no reason the 250 GB drive should not work. Beware, your experience may be different than mine.

Good to know for others, but luckily my HDD happens to be 2TB, so it worked just fine for me.

Any 2.5" hard drive, regardless of manufacturer, should work as long as it is SATA. Your SATA drive should be no exception and should work perfectly.
