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.

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

if truth any sata 3.5 will work fine. sata II or sata III will be faster than any sata one on paper but unless you get an ssd, you likely won't notice the improvement. satas are backwards compatible meaning you can run a sata III drive on a normal sata connector. for the record that is a sata II. if you want insane boot times and short load times, go with an ssd for the o/s and software, then install a normal hard drive as a data drive. it's your call though. they have went down on price somewhat and can be gotten for as low as $40 (sata II 8 gig which might not even hold win 7, not a good idea)

personally i would go with the $70 ocz 32 gig if i went that route. as for the data storage, the sky is the limit but if you don't download things like movies, work with the computer or do any gaming, you wouldn't need much if any at all. there are some deals though. i'm seeing 1.5 tb (1500 gig) for $60

as for just fixing the machine the way it was, you can get the 500 gig sata II drives for as low as $40

it all depends on what you want. any sata will work. you likely will not notice a difference between sata 1,2 or 3 with a single mechanical drive. if you want to speed up the machine like never before you can get an ssd and a data drive which will cost more. personally i'd just fix it as was. maybe consider a larger drive if you almost had the drive filled. maybe a smaller drive if you weren't even coming close to using 1/2 the old drive. although, for another $20 i can't justify not buying a larger (3xs the space) drive. you could run a 0 raid but that might be a bit tricky and you'd have to buy a raid card, and 2 identical hard drives. then install the drivers and all that. also if one drive goes, you loose the data on both.
as for using a 2.5 ssd in a 3.5 slot, they sell (or it may come with) a tray to mount the drive in.
