Is this drive compatible with my Inspiron 660 desktop?

This is intended for a laptop, not a Desktop. For a desktop, you would want a 5.25" desktop drive, not a slim laptop drive like this one.

I don't know. It works with my Latitude E6500. When I ordered my replacement, I pulled my old one and made sure that the part numbers on the stickers were exactly the same.

This Drive is compatible with laptops. It can be used in a desktop PC, but it would require mounting hardware as well. The PC in question must be SATA drive capable.

The size of the drive makes no difference. As long as it has a SATA or even an old IDE connector it should work. You may not achieve peak performance specs with such setup but at least you can read/write the data off the drive.

as someone has already mentioned, you would only know its compatibility once you have taken the broken dvd drive out of the dell inspiron laptop. in most cases, the dvd drive is secured by one screw on the flipside of the laptop. remove the screw and pull the dvd drive out of the laptop. once you've taken it out, check the model number and compare with this replacement drive. and most likely, it is compatible and would work just fine. in my case, the replacement face was not exactly the same as the broken unit. however, functionally it works just fine.

Yes, but you need to research your particular notebook model to see if the drive is user replaceable.

Internal drive is the primary use so should be ok as long as you have the right connection which I believe for this drive is SATA.

I put it in my Alienware system. They are both pretty similar it should work, I would think as long as you have an Msata slot it should read it just fine. If it doesn't come up as My Digital, it will come up as generic drive. It is very fast for the price.

I would say yes. The reason being is that it is identical to my Inspiron in all specification with the exception of size. I have a larger 17" display. I bought this drive and had it imaged from the old 70GB drive and it has been working fine for the last 4-months.

This drive uses a SATA II 6 Gb/S interface which is backwards compatible with SATA interfaces found in most recent motherboards. As long as your motherboard supports SATA (Serial ATA interface) you can use this drive. To get the full performance out of it though you will need a SATA II interface on your MB or on a card. If you have a very very old Desktop PC (10+ years) then you might only have the IDE interface which would not be compatible.Look up your desktop PC's motherboard and see if it has a SATA or SATA II interface.

Yes, the connector is compatible. The drive will operate correctly but at USB 2.0 transfer rates.

Ignore the other answer. The drive will fit fine. Any drive that does not exceed 9.5mm will work. The drive is compatible, just make sure it is formatted correctly

I'm pretty sure it is compatible as i tried it on my Asus Zenbook with no problem at all. Just plug it and play. Originally i purchased this drive for myT61 laptop's wife. So, go ahead confident with your purchase. Cheers!!

If you have this drive installed in your pc with the drive utility software there should not be a problem. What type of motherboard and CPU are you using?

The drive should be compatible with your laptop. Hopefully, your existing drive isn't totally gone and you have the means to transfer your existing info to the new drive.

Just reviewed the specs on the Dell Inspirion 1100 and it looks like the computer supports EIDE and ATA internal drives so this drive should work. My only concern would be some sort of propriety connection that Dell might have used but you should be able to pull the adapter off the old drive and plug it into this one.

Should be compatible, just make sure you know what type of cable connection ports you have IDE or SATA, it is a simple swap.

Jim F., in response to your question, the card in question is a PCI Express High Definition video card which requires a PCI Express slot on your mother board. If your inspirion 660 has a standard video card slot, the card was not meant for your computer. Secondly, the card requires DDR2 (Double Data Rate 2) memory on your computer. If your computer has an Express PCI video card slot and you have DDR2 memory, the video card should work.
