Opening a Seagate Expansion 3TB USB 3.0 Black Desktop Hard Drive (STBV3000100)

Seagate's 3TB enclosures are configured with 4KB sector sizes. You could install your 160GB SATA HDD, but you won't be able to access its existing data. You could reinitialise and reformat it, though, but this would obviously be data destructive.
The 3TB drive will be formatted in MBR mode (with a 4KB sector size). Therefore you will need to reinitialise and reformat it, but otherwise it should be OK, provided that it can be detected by your SATA controller.
