No - Will work to use drive with a desktop computer.

Look at street1's ENCLOSURE, it will work with any computer with USB - just be sure to match the connector for any enclosure with that of your hdd - the referenced enclosure is NOT for SATA drives, for example.Thanks Street 1 I just ordered one of the enclosures!! again thanks
