The 2400 works great with this drive (it's what I've got in my 2400).
I do remember one gentleman who posted here who was having difficulty
with one in his 2400, however.
There are two standards for mounting hole locations on 2.5" hard
drives. The DTCA-24090 is on the newer standard with the holes far
apart, near the corners of the drive. Older computers like the 2300
may need an adapter bracket, which I think MCE sells, but the 2400 is
just recent enough that it can use either type of drive.
The 2400's only restriction is that you should use a 12.7mm thick
drive to get proper cooling; thicker won't fit and thinner won't
contact the heat transfer pad that cools the drive.
