My Shaw box recently crapped out so my 1TB drive is just sitting here. Could this work on my PC? I can't just try because it requires a SATA to SATA cable. Before i go out and buy a SATA to USB cable i'd like to know if anyone has done this and gotten it to work.

remove the side of your case,
plug it in the sata socket lol
what r u doing with the crapped out box? won't they warranty it? in which you can use the expander again ...
but ya, it's just a simple external hd.

I'll try that, but for long term wouldn't the SATA to usb cable be safer?

They gave me the internal HDD box for a replacement.
