For the Acer Aspire E5-774 with the specification (17.3 inch, Intel Core i5-6200U, 8 GB RAM, 128 GB) there are some restrictions and considerations if you want to install an internal SATA 2.5" HDD with 5 TB.
1. physical compatibility: Most notebooks, including the Acer Aspire E5-774, are designed for 2.5" HDDs, which are typically 7 or 9.5 mm in height. A 5TB hard drive could physically fit, but it is important to check the exact height of the hard drive.
2. SATA port: The notebook has SATA ports that support a 2.5-inch hard drive. However, it should be ensured that the connection and the hardware components of the notebook support a hard drive with this capacity.
3. BIOS and UEFI support: It is important to check whether the BIOS or UEFI of the notebook recognises and supports a 5 TB hard drive. Some older systems may have problems recognising such large storage capacities.
4. power and cooling: Large hard drives can consume more power and possibly generate more heat. Make sure that the notebook has sufficient cooling and power supply for the additional hard drive.
To summarise: It is technically possible to install a 2.5-inch SATA hard drive in the Acer Aspire E5-774, but you must carefully check the physical, electrical and software requirements to ensure that the hard drive will function properly.
