3.5" is the width of the space the drive will fit into, A desktop is a tower or computer casing that sits on top of your desk or under it, and a laptop you can hold in your lap or one that folds up and is portable and they are 2.5".
yes sir, in fact is formatted and ready to go as we speak, it is new as you can see by the date. And the other one I have listed is exactly the same as this one just a different external case. and if someone would like an external with a smaller drive or larger driver I can accommodate your preference.
stupid question for you, can I use this as a external hard drive for my desktop Why does it say laptop hard drive. ans what does the 2.5" in the title represent thank you
yes you can use it as an external drive for your desk top and pretty much any computer. the 2.5" represents the width dimension it fits into ie: 2.5" lap top and 3.5" desk top
if someone wants a WD500GB external HDD w/cable & case sent to a Canadian Post, I will set up a GIN for 33000 with free shipping, the extra credits to offset the extra shipping cost of $7.60 USD plus and over the $5.35 US free shipping cost. Just let me know! India I already let you know. and one last thing I'm not always a nice guy ie: shipping!
I am so sorry to be so stupid but this external goes on the outside on my desk and uses a USB to be plugged into my tower...right? So where does the or what does the 3.5" mean.? Does that mean just the amount of space I need to sit it next to my tower? Please dont laugh. Laraine
Howdy! Great auction you have here. Trying to win this since I "had to" give up my wife's externally cased laptop HDD for a job I just did - she's not too happy with me right now even though I made money on it lol
