laptop hard drive with my desktop?

garrettd · Apr 9, 2014

Im building a pc with a i5 4670k, http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/part/asrock-motherboard-z87pro3 and id like to use my left over hard drive from my alienware m11x laptop. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003UIZH02?pc_redir=1396671212&robot_redir=1

Would I be able to plug it into my motherboard? Or do I need a different cable? Sorry im a noob :/

Would work just fine unless the hard drive is one of those weird form factor ones. Other than that it should work fine, I have one from an ASUS Vivobook in one of my computers as a storage drive.

Ive read thatyou need an adapter cable to use laptop harddrives is desktops, could this be an issue?

Depends on the hard drive. Sometimes you do if the hard drive is a special low power hard drive or something weird.

You should be fine, just look at it and see if it looks like a regular hard drive connector.
