Will this drive work in an old Dell Inspiron 1505 notebook from 2006?

Needs the latest SATA version interface that would not be in your 2006 Dell. I would not put it in a computer that old.

It will work, but at SATA 1.5Gb/s, not SATA2 (3gb/s) or SATA3 (6gb/s). It is fast anyway and you can upgrade your Notebook in the future and keep your SSD.

I looked at the spec for this notebook and it says it has a sata hd, so it should work but only at sata1 speeds

I'm sure it would work as I recall it uses a 2.5 sat drive. I ordered one for a 9600 dell, interesting thing it was I received a brand name product. good luck.

If it is the older type that uses an IDE/ATA HDD, then yes, but if you need an SATA which all the new laptop/notebooks have, your out of luck.

I tried to find information about the hard drive,but didn't have enough data.The model number of the old laptop would probably help.It does need to be a sata & preferably at least 160 gig.The voltage is o.k.I see from some of the other answers it should be sata & 160 gig.

I don't know the answer, I would suggest Dell should answer that. Or look for a model that has native solid state drive.

I don't know for sure. I have a Inspiron 530 which is 4 or 5 years old now and it dropped right in. The computer found it without any issues and works much better than the USB doggle I hand prior to that. When I installed it, it seemed as though it was piggy backing the video board on the motherboard (i.e. I don't think it would work on a non Dell computer).

I purchased the one I got from amazon to go into my son's machine. If it is the same one I purchased then it should work. The seller that bought the drive from was sold by HAUSBELL I hope that this helps.

It should as they are both mSATA drive, but I would go to crucial website to make sure that the drive is compatible with your pc before you purchase

I put it in a really old Dell 4600, with a IDE adapter. I had no problems what so ever. All you need to do is make sure you have lots of memory, and a fast processor, to handle the hard drive. I now use my drive as a secondary drive in my new computer.. You can get adapter from Amazon if you need one. If it is slow just upgrade you memory, that will help a lot.

Internal Sata New SATA Rewriteable CD and 8X DVD +/- RW Read/write CD DVD ROM Drive burner for Dell Latitude E5400 E5500 and Dell Inspiron 1545 and HP G60 CQ50 CQ70 Acer Aspire 6930 and DELL Vostro A860 states that it is specifically compatible with the 1545.

It depends on the age. Most newer notebooks will use 2.5 inch drives that have either SATA ll or SATA lll interfaces. If so, it should work. Older IDE drive interface computers - no.

You're talking about an 8 year old machine. While the hard drive should fit in your machine. The 1501 was originally configured with a 60 GB hard drive. I don't know if it can support 500 GB but it might.

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.

Generally if it has a standard SATA connection, it should work. The only thing I could see a possible issue with would be the encryption that the drive uses and if special software would be necessary. I don't know much about that type of drive.

As long as you have a dell inspiron 1545/1525 it should work. Ever since the day i received and charged mine it has been working great.it's very compatible.don't be afraid too try.

Yes. I replaced my failed 6 year old HDD in my dell inspiron 6400. It only lasted about a month though however I am very abusive with my computers using them in my workshop and whatnot

I would say yes, these drives function very well and seem to be compatible with anything I have installed them in. If your looking to get the last bit out of your old laptop... this will do just that.
