Yes it should work fine. Just remember to take any rails or connector adapters off the old drive and put them in the exact same place on the new drive.

Yes Generic 40GB IDE 2.5 will perfectly fit your requirement.RegardsPrashant

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.

YES, the WD Blue hard disk drive is perfect for your Dell laptop computer. I have installed many WD hard drives and never had a problem. The price at Amazon is usually the best too.

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.

Without seeing the machine, it's hard to tell, but I've seen some websites which suggest that it uses a PATA (or IDE) drive rather than SATA. You should be able to pull out the drive and check to see if it has the pin connectors of a PATA disk drive. It's easy to do. Some Youtube videos can show you how if you need help ('how to replace the hard drive in the hp pavillion dv1000').

This will not work. This is a SATA drive and you need PATA. Also, windows 7 will most likely NOT work on that laptop you have.

Yes. It should work fine. According to the Dell site, your laptop has two memory slots and will take up to 8gb of DDR3 ram like this.

You only have to worry about two major things: form factor, which is whether or not it will physically fit the device (HDDs are generally only 2.5" or 3.5") and interface, which is how it electronically connects (usually SATA currently, but mSATA is here and you can still find PATA, SCSI and others).If those match, it will function. You might want bigger or faster or quieter, but it would still function.

H: If your Laptop computer has PATA , it should work, but please be ware that you should look at the date manufactured on the drive, and also get information about the drive using a free software " SPECCY" -VERY IMPORTANT

The Hong Kong Seller is very slick in getting rid of their junk. In your case, you got the PATA to SATA, not the SATA to PATA adapter.You paid $1.20 while SATA to PATA costs $5.60.If I was wrong or that you could not figure out how to use the adapter, let me make sure that the 20 pins fit on the HHD and the other side with 39 pins fits on the IDE cable.If you have no 39 pins, you got the wrong adapter that fits a SATA to SATA of PATA to SATA.

As long as that laptop model takes SATA hard drives - just look up the above laptop model specs

I do not have an aswer for you. This enclosure is only for IDE-type drives. The other type is a SATA. I've looked through a couple sites on the web and not be able to determine the drive type. I'd be inclined to contact Fujitsu Support and ask about your model.

The Dell XPS 410 that has Core 2 Duo generation of processors uses SATA drives, so yes, this internal drive would work.

I'm using it with a Dell 6530 so it should work. I believe the chassis is the same between the two models. I added a 1TB drive and it has transformed my machine.

It is compatible with any SATA 1.5 to 6.0 interface. Consult your manual or download one from Dell to find the exact specifications without having to open the box. It works great. Highly recommend this as a boot drive. You should also get a separate data drive.

I am not sure, but I believe so.The 2.5" form factor is correct.I am less sure about this: the PATA (new version) interface of the enclosure is compatible with the ATA (older version) of the drive.For less than $5, I'd say go for it.

I'm not for sure. But, most likely it will. Due to the fact most laptop computer hard drives are 2.5 inches, it should have no problem fitting in the hard drive bay. As long as your computer accepts SATA, it should work. If your computer uses PATA, this hard drive isn't to be used. Check your computer's specifications to make sure you're selecting the correct hard drive. Hope that helps.
