Can a notebook be connected to an ordinary hard disk?

Yes, but you need to configure the corresponding hard disk box.

The method is as follows:

Step 1: Match the desktop hard disk with a mobile hard disk box (USB3.0 interface with independent power supply) and install the desktop hard disk in mobile hard disk box, so that the desktop hard disk can be used as a mobile hard disk.

Step 2: The hard disks of desktop computers are all 3.5-inch hard disks, but there are two interfaces, one is SATA serial interface and the other is IDE parallel interface. The desktop hard disk interface is equipped with a corresponding mobile hard disk box.

Extended data

1. Never turn off the power when the hard disk is working. Turning off the power supply when the hard disk is working will lead to physical damage and data loss.

2. There are high-speed components in the hard disk. If the hard disk is forcibly turned off, the high-speed disk will suddenly stop, and if it is turned on immediately after being turned off, it is more likely to cause hard disk damage.

3. Try to avoid the vibration when the hard disk works, because the distance between the magnetic head and the disk is very close. If you shake it violently, it will cause the head to hit the disk, the head may scratch the disk, and it may also cause the head to be completely damaged, making the whole hard disk unusable.

4. In the process of using the hard disk, many users often compress the hard disk in "Disk Space Management", which leads to the continuous increase of compressed volume files.
