Yup, should work fine. 

Bear in mind that it'll only run at PCIe 3.0 speeds, so a cheaper drive would work just as well.

But then my heart cries 'why is that man out here in the woods all by himself?' 

 

... probably to get away from a woman. 

Rikkitic:

 

A small question that has apparently been making the rounds on the Internet is whether a woman would rather encounter a bear or a random man in the woods. What is causing an uproar (at least among men) is that nearly all women say they would prefer to take their chances with the bear. This seems sensible to me. I wonder how it would poll on Geekzone. What does everyone think? Man or bear?

 

Maybe it would depend on whether the woman is "into bears".

Haha! You just reminded me of this: If that's what you're into

Also check that you have the screw and post from the motherboard because they are not supplied with the drive.

Thanks for the heads up, checked and they were on the board already.

Also thanks @SomeoneSomewhere all installed and working well.

Is there some special meaning to the term "explosion proof" that doesn't translate properly from Chinese to English?  The amount of stuff sold as "explosion proof" on places like Aliexpress is scary, and most of the time it doesn't mean what the seller thinks it means.

Do you have an example?

If the context is electrical equipment for use in hazardous areas (areas with an atmosphere potentially containing flammable dust or gas), then explosion proof is the usual term.

Originally, the means of protection was construction so that if an explosion occurred internally, it would be contained within the fitting (light, switchboard, motor etc.) and not set the remaining room on fire.

Nowadays, it means systems set up so that they won't cause an explosion in the rest of the room - for example, by not having enough energy to cause a spark, or by being encapsulated (epoxy potted), or positively pressurised with clean air.

It does not mean that you can stick a grenade on top of a light/camera and expect it to survive.

Obviously, buying such from AliExpress is not recommended. 

I know how the term is meant to be used, but on Aliexpress it seems like sellers will tag any old random thing as "explosion proof".  From a quick search, here's an explosion proof cellphone screen protector, a.k.a. self-adhesive plastic film, which will neither contain nor prevent causing an explosion.  Assuming you can actually ignite an explosion source with a cellphone (petrol station warning signs notwithstanding).  And an explosion proof furniture protector, an explosion proof shower head, explosion proof window film, ...

The first one (screen protector) doesn't mention explosion proof for me, but I think you'll get the picture soon enough. 

The shower pipe is burst-proof. Some types, especially plain PVC, have a tendency to fail with age. Hopefully something in a stainless jacket won't do that.

The two window films are safety film, to make windows shatterproof. If the window is broken, the film holds the chunks of glass more-or-less in place, so you don't have large pieces flying everywhere. Mandatory in many commercial and educational settings; it's largely replaced the older wired glass.
