Based on the info you gave, it appears that it is an internal drive. Is it in an external enclosure? If yes, you can probably take it out and use it as an internal.
Is this it?

Yes, I believe that is what is inside it. it's actually this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822178116

I did, but hdd (ST2000DM001-1E6164) was so noisy that I took it out... And it was quite hard to rip it out from that casing

Hey there, Iankiller99!

I believe you can use it, however, make sure it doesn't have any hardware encryption and test the drive using your HDD manufacturer's diagnostics tool. From the SMART details you've copied in the OP, it doesn't state the actual SMART status of the drive itself and the overall health.
Make sure you post the results from the diagnostics test. If everything is okay with the health of the HDD, I think you should be good to go and use the drive as an internal.

Hope I was helpful!
