The 1 TB Touro Mobile MX3 USB 3.0 External Hard Disk Drive (Black) from Hitachi provides portable storage for all your photos, movies, music and documents. It offers plug-and-play simplicity and a USB 3.0 interface for quick transfers of your important data. The External Drive is compatible with Windows and Mac operating systems.
thanks powerfuldoppler from slickdeals
Edit: price raised by 4 dollars. Still a decent deal. It is not expired. But whatever.
Solid drive...but the only knock is that its is a 5400rpm drive. The Mobile Pro comes with 7200rpm drives.

got one at B&H a coupla weeks ago for $70. Transferred ~550GB of data to it in about 5 hours. It didn't hiccup at all and stayed cool to the touch. Completely silent as well. Great piece of gear.

In short, yes it can. It will fit. But you may not want to because it is not the fastest drive to use as your primary hard drive that your computer boots off of. For your primary drive I would suggest a 7200rpm drive like this: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/891239-REG/Hitachi_0s03559... A little more expensive, but worth it IMO.
If you have an optical drive bay that you can use for a hard drive, I'd suggest going with this 1.5TB drive instead, Amazon link. It is cheaper than this drive in terms of TB/$, but it's 12.7mm. Then your OS boots off of your smaller faster drive (an SSD if you can), and you use the 1.5TB for movies, backups,...whatever from your optical bay.

I don't think it is removable, bcz a reviewer on Amazon says: ATA device, with non-removable media Model Number: Hitachi HTS541010A9E680 Serial Number: JB40001MG80XWD Firmware Revision: JA0OA480

I'm not sure what that reviewer is talking about. The HTS541010A9E680 has a sata interface on it. The WD drives that have the soldered on USB interface have drive model numbers that indicate the USB interface. For example, the WD My Passport 2TB has WD20NMVW inside.
Update: I think what the reviewer is talking about is the plastic case of the device being hard to disassemble.
The case is cheap plastic and it's sealed, you will not be able to swap drives.

I have an acer laptop from them. They always ship fast and have great service but they are not well known.

$68 isn't much greater than $64, so perhaps we can still consider it a deal, although a lesser one.
