SON H Yes, you can but there is a limitation to it if you can buy this from ebay. I dont know if there is USB 3.0 for this yet!

Francis F This SSD has a standard SATA connection. If you want to connect to the USB port of your laptop, you just need to get an External Enclosure for a 2.5" SATA HDD, it will works fine. If you can, try to get a USB 3.0 version. :)

PATRICK W You can just treat the SSD as any other 2.5" drive - put it in an external enclosure and connect to it via any USB port. But I think it's a waste of money... you will be limited by the speed of USB 2.0 (unless you have a new system with USB 3.0).

ANNETTE R Absolutely. You'll just need to install this SSD into a 2.5" enclosure such as the 'Vantec NexStar TX 2.5-Inch SATA to USB 2.0 External Hard Drive Enclosure' .

JEFF D Yes, you may connect it to a usb port provided you have the appropriate adapter. It will cost about $20 to get the adapter. However, in order to utilize the speed potential, you MUST connect it to a USB3.0 port with a SATA to USB3 adapter (for example, look up "Kingwin USI-2535U3"). If your laptop only has USB2.0 ports, it would not be the wisest decision to purchase this SSD for use as an external because the speed would be limited by the 35MB limit of USB2.0. A standard external hard drive would provide the same performance as this SSD if you were to connect it to a USB2.0 port. If your laptop does not have a USB3.0 port, you may be able to still use this SSD as an external drive if you have an Express card expansion port. You can either then purchase a Sata2 expresscard, or USB3 express card & usb3-sata adapter (as listed above). It would be most efficient and less clutter to just use a sata2 express card. Alternately, if your laptop has an "esata port" then you can use this drive without any special adapters. Simply purchase an "esata to L shaped sata cable".

Is there a way I can connect and use this SSD hard drive through my LAPTOP USB Ports. I already have a 180 GB SSD in my laptop and I want to increase its capacity without compromising on speed?
