Its a smol laptop sized drive (I forget what number those are) so I wouldnt have anywhere to put it inside the computer without some special shit. Besides, I don't like opening up my computer for no reason, I'm not a hardcore gamer who builds their computer and knows it inside out, I just use it without worrying about the internals too muchWould have been faster to take apart the drive and out of the case and connected it via SATA cable
Those are 2.5" drives, still work via SATA connection
If you are using a desktop, just have the SATA cable and the power cable stick out of the case a bit in a makeshift docking fashion (that's what I do). You can even leave it hanging from the cables, it's not heavy or anything like the 3.5" drives are, so you have nothing to worry about. As for the not opening your computer, you don't have to be a gamer, it's fun to tinker with your hardware even when it's all fine! How much do you know about the insides of computers? I'm curious...
