Can an WD scorpio mobile hard disk be used in an desktop? for storage

Yes you can. But you will need to buy an adapter for it to fit in the 3.5" drive slot in the case.

If its a SATA drive, you will only need to figure out how to mount it as the SATA connectors are the same for a laptop drive as they are for a desktop drive, however if it is a parallel drive then you need both a mounting solution and an adaptor.

The Scorprio's are SATA. He just needs a 3.5" bracket.



Here's a good one for $7.99

Or just use duct tape.
