Is this drive compatible with a Dell Latitude E5500 with XP?

Hard drives are relatively universal, if there's enough space in the drive bay to fit, you can put it in there.Remember, this is a Serial ATA drive, you may need an adapter depending on the sort of connector. Could you open up the drive bay and show me the connectors on the device? If not, at least provide a description of how the drive is connected.

If your laptop had something other than Xp on it originally, you might have to get into the BIOS settings and change the hard drive controller type from AHCI to ATA to get it to work with XP. Other than that, you will just need the drivers for rest of the hardware. Using another computer, goto Dell support online and enter your tag number and pick Windows XP as the OS. It will list all the drivers you will need.

I don't know for sure... I installed it in a 2 - 3 year old HP laptop and loaded Win7. It worked great.

If your system uses a SATA connection for the hard drive, this is compatible.

Yes, I am using it on a Dell XPS 8500 w/windows 7, 64-bit with no problems.

im not 100% sure because i cant find a similar enough dell xps to compare it to, but i dont think it is compatible

It should be. Dell's web site says that the XPS 720 has PCI Express slots, so there's no reason to think it won't work.

Andrew, That's a generic Seagate drive but the Dell version you would need is Dell Part # W347K. Order that part # and you should be good. I hope this helps answer your question.ScottAll Computer Parts

Yes, this will work. Western Digital Black drives are some of the most reliable drives that I've encountered. It's only 9.5mm thick and should physically fit in any laptop with sata interface. Also, just because your Dell came with a 320gb drive, you are not limited to this size. The 500 and 750gb version of this drive will also work (any 2.5" sata drive including solid state drives that aren't over 9.5mm thick) will work. If you are going to image (clone) your existing drive to this one, you'll need a docking station or other usb interface. There are plenty of youtube videos showing how to change and clone laptop drives.

I fitted the caddy and SSD to my Dell Latitude E6520 and it has worked faultlessly.

I don't know. It was an easy installation into my DELL Latitude E6430 laptop, and works flawlessly for me.

It should. I'm running Windows XP and used this drive to read some CAD files that I drew years ago. Opened the files fine. I thought it worked really well. Good luck

I would contact Dell customer support to verify that. My computer is a Latitude E6520 and it works great for me.

It should be? I have a Dell Latitude 6320e. The DvD Rom should be removable? Mine works 100%!

I have a 160 gig drive from a crashed laptop. XP argued about it but relented and there is no problem with 7.

If you had a windows 7 disk and key, it should not be a problem. Do a quick google search though. I know on the past the difference between xp and vista/7 there was a chipset driver that needed installed with it which lead to a giant hassle. As long as the chipsets are the same you are good to go.

I used this in a Dell Latitude E6400, however I removed my old drives top cover and used it on my new drive, because the locking button to remove the drive was attached to old drives top cover. I also swapped out the plastic cover on the front with my old drive to match my laptop case. As far as how similar the precision and latitude hardware are, I can't say. You might want to look that up to see if parts are interchangeable.

Yes. In fact, I just bought a new Dell XPS tablet running Windows 8, it came with no drive, yet I was able to use this drive to install an older program I use that runs on Windows 7. So yes, it should work no problem at all. Make sure you have 2 free USB ports, as the drive requires both in order to operate.

Yes, it will. I installed mine in a Dell desktop computer which originally has Windows XP installed. I upgraded to Windows 7 64 bit. Windows 7 automatically installed the correct driver for this drive.

It will work as long as you have two free usb ports within about 4-6 inches of each other on your PC (because the included connecting cable uses two ports to proved enough power to burn discs). The Windows XP OS will immediately recognize the drive when you plug it in.
