will it work in my dell laptop? I would like to thank everyone, for the comments. And to let you know that I have a Dell Studio 1749. using 205 GB and 245 GB free space. I already order 128 GB drive. Should I return it ? Thanks again.

I have it installed in a Dell Studio 1735 laptop as the primary drive. If it is to be a secondary drive, you will probably need a kit that includes a bracket and a connector adapter. If you don't have the same model laptop, I suggest you contact Crucial.

Storage should be in the specs. Best to just check them out. Mine was 256gb solid state drive.

There appears to be conflicting opinions as to whether 2Gigs of memory will improve performance with this netbook. I was just about ready to order the upgrade until reading these comments.Has anyone here upgraded and if so can you say for sure that it has sped things up at all? I actually just called Acer tech support and was told that the Acer Aspire One A0532h-2588, cannot be upgraded to 2GB. So I don't know what to believe now.

If your Dell had an SSD to start out with then it should be no problem....if instead it had an ide hard drive, then no you probably won't be able to use the SSD.

I am not sure about your dell because I used mine for a mac. These hard drives are universal but you might want to call Best Buy or Dell to make sure it will fit. Also I had a friend do a data transfer from one hard drive to another. I am not sure where to send you for that one but I would recomend just save all the stuff you need on to an exteranal drive. Then once one you replace the hard drive, you might have to redownload the programs you need. The thing to remember is the hard drive is blank so you might need to set up a data transfer. I tried to do it myself and my computer was blank. So you might want to look around and ask some Tech guys how to do this. Thanks. GOod luck

I used this is in a Dell Studio XPS desktop, and have it placed on the HDD slot so it lays in there but its not snug or secure. I do not plan on moving the desktop much but if I do I will remove it and use something to secure it in the housing better. I believe it can be used to replace a laptop HDD because of its small size.Other comments seem to have a better grasp on this concept than myself :)

This HD will not fit in a laptop. it is too large physically and the plugs are wrong. It is designed for a desktop and will not work in older desktops which use the wide data cables. It is a SATA drive not an IDE drive. I replaced a HD in a Win 7 desktop and it worked great.

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. Yes, this will work. Western Digital Black drives are some of the most reliable drives that I've encountered.

Mine came with a 250GB hard drive. The size of the HD depends on what was ordered from Dell by the original purchaser. There are many options when you by a new computer. I suppose if you are buying a refurbished one, the company could change out the HD but usually they don't.

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.

Yes it will work fine. I like the way it's answered on this page: http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/laptop/f/3518/t/19253643.aspx Keep in mind that when the person asking says 3gb drive he means sata 3.

I can't tell you. I couldn't get it to function on my Dell with Windows 7. I kept getting a message that it was not completely loaded. I tried loading it several times with the same result. have no clue what is happening. I was going to send it back but that would cost almost as much as it's worth so I just chalked ut up as a learning experience. sorry I couldn't be of more help, John

Ivan the Terrible says: I wonder if upgrading RAM to 2GB will increase speed of the operation? How difficult to open up and replace 1GB part with 2GB? It does not have an optic drive. Does any CD/DVD external drive for laptops will work with 1002HA? I would like to install Microsoft Office and also have with me some data while I travel on CD/DVD. What it makes eeebuntu better than XP home? I apologize for some naive questions. Greatly appreciate if somebody replies with comments.

Hello ADave, the one that I got was def. for a 3.5" drive. The drive that I installed into it came from a home "tower" style computer, Dell if I remember correctly. Have you tried to install a drive into it yet? The case for mine was actually quite a bit bigger than and drive, prob for heat dissipation, but def for a 3.5" drive. Mine works flawlessly and allowed me to recover the info I had in the computer that died. I now use it for a back up storage.

go to dell.com for product specs. I just bought a studio 15 with 500GB / 7200 rpm

Not that is listed on Dells web site -- for this model. Take it or leave it is the Dell way, I own a 16 gig older Dell laptop -- took a week of digging to make sure I could upgrade to 16 gigs. :-( It does still work :-)
