A: The Seagate 20TB Exos X20 7200 rpm SAS III 12 Gb/s 3.5" Internal HDD can be installed into any computer, server, or enclosure that has a 3.5" SAS III hard drive slot. Both SAS and SATA versions are available on this listing - please be advised that SAS is not the same as SATA, and SAS drives will not be compatible with the SATA III drive slots found in most consumer devices.
