Although it says it is 3.0, it seems to be an awful tight fit in the 3.0 slot on my Dell 3000 2 in 1. It slides into 2.0 slots easily. Is that common?

I think is because the port USB 3 have 9 pins and the USB 2 have only 4 pins.

I don't know how common that would be. I fit snuggly in my MacBook Pro and IMac devices. I have not tried it in other devices.

I have found the fit very tight in my MacBook Pro's USB 3.0 slots. It's definitely not as tight in my HP Desktop.

We use about 100 of these on various computer models for shop operations, and haven't noticed any difficulties the port types.

I personally bought it specifically for usb 3.0 myself, though I really can't see much of a boost, even on hardcore downloads (GB in size). Then again, at some point it probably comes down to SATA write speed and buffer anyway. I did have some problems with powering it off the usb though, so make sure you have a solid motherboard(ports on back) and case (the ports on the front). If you start seeing it lose connection and have to replug it in, stop using that port immediately, because it ended up causing my device to fail. Which brings me to my next point, the warranty service was EXCELLENT. great customer support with amped.

We ordered from a different vendor so I can't answer that question. Send a question directly to the vendor-Dell.

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

its pci 3.0 but runs in 2.0 as well, the difference is you lose a 10% on bandwith speed but it will work fine...

This has been the determining factor for me when purchasing. I don't understand why Asus has a .3mp when 1.3mp seems to be standard and works fine. .3mp is a disaster. I was thinking of buying an Asus with USB 3.0 but not now.

PCIe 3.0 slots only offer more bandwidth for your card to use, so in most everyday usage you wouldn't even see a performance increase with 3.0. So, no, using a 2.0 slot with a 3.0 card will NOT bottleneck your performance.

Yes, it fits my 17.3 Dell snuggly and beautifully. The power supply and plug also fits, but naturally leaves a bit of a bulge. I get so many comments of this bag! It is unlike any other ones I see in my area.

go to the dell support site and put in the info of this memory to see if it"s compatible with your machine check with dell first to see if it"s the right memory. I hope that I help you out with this info.

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.

yes it is 2.0 but make sure your pcie 3.0 card is backward compatible not the motherboard. some newer card now a days are backward compatible.

according to dell your PC uses an sata style drive so it should fit without a problem, bare in mind that when you remove the old onesometimes they are mounted in a caddy so if it doesnt look exactly the same you may have to remove the old one from the caddy and mountthe new one in it.. ..... if this is the case, put them side by side as you work and take your time and you wont have any issues..... any larger than the 320gb you are looking at and you may have an issue as your bios might not detect larger hard drive sizes, so stik with the 320 OR find out for sure what your max size is.. according to dell your PC uses an sata style drive so it should fit without a problem, bare in mind that when you remove the old onesometimes they are mounted in a caddy so if it doesnt look exactly the same you may have to remove the old one from the caddy and mountthe new one in it.. ..... if this is the case, put them side by side as you work and take your time and you wont have any issues..... any larger than the 320gb you are looking at and you may have an issue as your bios might not detect larger hard drive sizes, so stik with the 320 OR find out for sure what your max... » Read More according to dell your PC uses an sata style drive so it should fit without a problem, bare in mind that when you remove the old onesometimes they are mounted in a caddy so if it doesnt look exactly the same you may have to remove the old one from the caddy and mountthe new one in it.. ..... if this is the case, put them side by side as you work and take your time and you wont have any issues..... any larger than the 320gb you are looking at and you may have an issue as your bios might not detect larger hard drive sizes, so stik with the 320 OR find out for sure what your max size is.. « Show Less

It is shaped like an x that is 'hinged' on the middle so that it tends to open up wider. I have a dell xps series tower and it fits fine. Not sure if that answers your question or not..

yes...I received mine end of last week. Installed in Dell 1750 and has performed wonderfully. I did follow the installation instructions - i.e. run completely down & then charge back 100% after install.

I am not sure would have to do some checking on the Dell site to see if it is the same or compatable. Check your model number and then look at the ram to see if it is compatable. I do not remember if this would fit. sorry can't help more

Mine is also 5537. I dont see any difference in specs when I go to Dell website and input 5537. Let us know if you find out why they are showing two different model numbers.
