Laptop battery recently died, and I’m planning a new PC build anyway, so I’m wondering: can I just remove the HDD from my laptop and connect it to the motherboard? Would I need any extra parts or hardware? I’m guessing no, but it’s hard to research on my phone. Any guidance is appreciated :) thanks!

    You can 3d print a mount, if you have a (friend who has a) 3d printer, but most of my desktop cases from the last 10 years have at least one 2.5" bay.

      The case I’m thinking of buying will probably do fine then - thanks!
