Q: external seagate freeagent desktop Hard Drive..... can I make it into an internal hard drive? The USB port on the external hard drive is broken and i would like to turn it into a internal hard drive. I am afraid that if I open the external hard drive (which voids the warranty), it will not fit into my Dell C640 latitude laptop.
A: If this is your unit http://computers.pricegrabber.com/hard-drives/m/32673088/details//ut=4d51cba99f95759f/st=product_tab/ the hd inside is a standard desktop unit, it will not fit in a laptop. What you can do is to replace the case. Get one of these http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817173046 or http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817388001
