Would this drive replace the 500GB drive in a Dell Inspiron M5040 laptop?

I would say yes, I am using it now after over a year to write this message....no problems so far....I play to get another.

Yes, they are all compatible-use the Software down-loader offer, makes the transfer from the old discs to the Monentus Hybrid easier and quicker. Drive and access will be noticeable the more you use it. When SSD' really become cheaper and min 512 GB then go for this set-up. Seagate makes a good reliable product and stand by it.

It looks like it should work fine. This drive is the 2.5" form factor and your Dell has SATA drive connections.

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.

I'm not familiar with your laptop, but it worked in my Dell Inspiron 15 even though it was a different make and model than the original. I assumed it would work since they were both SATA drives(though I don't even know what that means!) and I had good luck.

If the aforementioned hard drive is a 2.5" laptop IDE hard drive, it should. You can find out by typing "HTS541616J9AT00" into a search engine and looking at the technical data.

probably yes, as most major manufacturers use standard 2.5 inch hard drives, they then add a proprietary adapter and connector that you will have to remove from the existing drive i do not own a dell notebook so i cannot verify this as 100% correct

Hi, Unless your system has a mSATA slot it will not work. This is the best info I could find for you. http://www.crucial.com/upgrade/Dell-memory/Inspiron+Laptops%2FNotebooks/Inspiron+1420-upgrades.html

Confirm the connector type and it should work. I replaced the HD in an old HP Pavillion laptop, this drive works properly. Again, be certain the drive has an IDE type connector.

I believe it will. The one I received had a different letter at the end from what the original drive had, which is probably why it had a different faceplate that was flat instead of curved to be flush with the edge of my laptop. It works fine, though. And I read somewhere that you can swap out the faceplates, even though I haven't bothered to try it.

Probably. Note this HD is one third the capacity of the original. The 2.5 SATA form factor is standard, I believe. I would confirm with a web search comparing original HD specs with replacement HD specs. Should be easy to find out, though.

Yes it will be fine if it is replacing the main hard drive. I am seeing from another answer that Dell laptops might have issues if it is going to to be a secondary drive in certain models. It is just the hard drive in the package and nothing else to transfer or clone the hard drive you have now.

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

as long as your laptop takes a SATA drive, you should be able to use this drive to replace it. The drive will detect the capability of the system and adjust its transfer speed to remain compatible

Yes it will work - seeing it is already using a 500gb SATA hard drive - so you should be fine to swap it out with 750gb hard drive. Hope this helps!

I do not think so, but it might work if the 500gb drive had its own power supply. I am only guessing.

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 it was for a dell inspiron m5040 and the length is pretty the normal size of any charger, hope this helps.

Yes. Just make sure the drive is brand new and not like an HP, Dell OEM drive that does not come with any warranty.
