What To Know Before You Buy
Check that your PC has an available SATA port before ordering. The drive is an internal unit, so it is intended for a desktop-style installation rather than external use.
Review the dimensions, especially the 41.3 mm height, against your available drive bay space. Also confirm that you are happy to provide your own SATA cable and any required software, since both are excluded from the OEM package.
