You might. I tried it once, but apparently the physical interface differs
per brand hard disk. data connector and power connector were about 1
millimeter too wide spaced, so it wouldn't connect. You might have luck with
your drive (but try before you buy)
so probably better to just order a Seagate.
Besides... fluid bearings... they're so very silent... what a waste to use
those in the server room.....
