Can this be used in a PC? Are there any implications or drawbacks on using this in a pc?

You can use this on a PC. You just need to buy an adapter for the drive cage and an adapter for the connectors. It would be much cheaper to buy a 3.5" drive instead.

You can use it in any computer with a USB port and supported drivers. It doesn't make a difference if it is a desktop or a laptop computer. It also supports an external antenna which might be handy if you desktop computer is under your desk.

This drive has a usb port. As long as the pc has a usb port, you'll be good to go and it will work just like other usb devices.

If your PC has an HDMI output (or you can convert your PC's monitor output to HDMI), then the answer is YES. We do this all the time, and it works well within the distance limits of the device.

Its only a PCIe slot, so unless you are plugging into a PCIe slot, don't use it.

Yes that is what I use it for. Make sure your pc is set up to handle HDMI and sound . Also you need to setup TV.

No, it cannot be used with PC directly. You need to buy a dac. It can be best used with some decent desktop speakers.

I am using this on a mac without any issues. I've never tested it on a PC so I cant say one way or the other.

It will work in your pc, just make sure it isn't too long, and there is usually a waranty with graphics cards through the manufacturer.

Hi, it was designed to connect PC to PC . . . I would contact their C/S for possible software up-date. Good Luck !!!

My answer right now is it isn't good for anything! I've had problems with it since I purchased it (slow to start up, freezes constantly, etc.). I'm using an old Dell in it's place.

I don't see why it would not work with a desk top PC. I have two of these with a Laptop running Win 7 64 bit and 8GB of RAM. Works great.

I have not used it on any pc, It uses a single audio cable to connect to the subwoofer input of a receiver. I do not think it will work directly to a pc, unless u have it running through a home theater system.

For a desktop or a laptop computer? I use it for my laptop and have plenty of room, so I don't see you have a problem. Good luck!
