I am replacing a Seagate 750 GB Serial ATA 2 hard drive with this in a Dell XPS 435T. Will it work and do I need a new SATA cable?Thanks.

esl537's answer is best for tech details. My Dell is similar to yours & the HD works fine with existing cables. I knew it'd be backward compatible but I could also carry it forward to a new system with higher transfer rates 'one day.' It's been several months & all is well. Much quiter than Seagate it replaced.

Greetings Christian, after a quick read on the poweredge 2950 specs, it seems to me that this Hard Drive will work with no problem. But, if you are planning to use a RAID or NAS or SAS array, and have doubts, I will suggest to read closely this 2 links that might provide some help, or call to Dell customer service for more info.1. http://www.dell.com/downloads/global/products/pedge/en/2950_specs.pdf2. http://www.webopedia.com/DidYouKnow/Computer_Science/sas_sata.aspIf you have any more questions, just ask. Have a nice day, Lenin.

Most of these have the same size, it should work. I have one on a Dell Precision 340, had no trouble, be aware that it has more connectors of a newer type than the ones used on say, normal SATA hard disks or CD/DVD units. Worked for me with 0 problems, jsut check if it has all the connectors you require.

1st make sure those are 2.5" slots, SSD size slots, and not 3.5". If they are 3.5" you'll need the SSD adapter to make it bigger and fit the slot. You will need to buy a cable, if you do not already have one. You'll need it for a SATA connection. The drives I got were barebones and just contained the drives and a few documents and nothing else.

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.

I replaced the Hitachi "Travelstar" 5400 RPM 60GB ATA hard drive that was in my DELL Inspiron 6000 with The one from AMAZON. The new one was 80 GB.I bought a connector to adapt it to the DELL Inspiron but could have reused the one from the original drive. I used SW from DELL and loaded new operating system. Hope this helps.

I installed this drive in an Dell Optiplex 740 MT which can handle sata II or sata III hard drives. You need to check the specifications of your motherboards controller and find out if it can handle that type of drive. My processor is an Athlon X2 64.

I bought the 512GB version to replace SATA III HDD in my Dell laptop. It's working perfectly. The package included a "key" for a cloning software (which is to be downloaded), but I did not use it as I wanted to perform a fresh installation.

How old is the hard drive you're replacing? If it was pre-2005, chances are it's a PATA or IDE drive rather than a SATA type. Is the original connector a large black plastic thing with 40 holes in it (2 rows of 20)? If not, then it's a SATA set-up, requiring 2 connections (one for power and one for data). Just make sure you align the connectors carefully, (even though they won't click in if they're reversed).

I really am not sure. I have a Dell and I did install it as second hard drive and it works. I am not sure of model.

The sata connection should be the same but you will need adapter to hold the 2.5 drive in place.

You need an "internal" SATA cable. A 12-18 inch cable will do. Look at the route the cable must take, and order one with either straight connectors or L-shaped connectors (one or both ends) as needed.

I'm using it in a Dell Inspiron E1500 series machine. Dell's website lists Western Digital SATA drives as replacement parts for 17 series. You should be able to verify this by looking at Dell's website for replacement parts.

This version is for a sata drive the Toshiba s55t I found online had a serial ata drive. You will need to verify what kind of drive you have. I believe they sell another version that will work with serial ata drives.
