Will this work on any laptop using a SATA 5400rpm hdd? I have a Pavilion DV7-3165dx.

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.

Its best to check to see what your laptop are using to be sure you are buying the right one.If it's not listed, I would not bet on it. good luck.

Yes it will. In general laptop hard drives like this one will work for most. It's best to check the manufacuter's website or the manual to see what the laptop is optimized for. While 5400 rpm is fast enough for general use, the faster HDD's cost more. Naturally you need to weigh the proformance and cost. It really depends on what you are using your laptop for and how much you are willing to spend. Hope that helped! :)

I don't know; I haven't tried it. I am using "regular" e-SATA drives which work fine. Suggest contacting the manufacturer directly since they would know.

Should work for any laptop with SATA as long as you have a faceplate to use, and the mounting tab from your original drive. I use this in a Dell Inspiron.

It should if you have a late model laptop with SATA interface. The drive supports SATA III, and is backward compatible.

It should. Most Laptop hard drives should be 2.5, however, the SATA cable connecting the hard-drive needs to be the same and should be capable of write speeds of up to 6Gb/s.

Mine works fine in a dv8. I suppose it would work in a dv7. It is actually better than the original. Holds the computer up off the table.

Hi there, It should work on any computer as long as the computer have a SATA port.

Hi, it is compatible with any SATA hard drive; however it is recommended to avoid green consumer drives such as the WD Green or Blue. Thanks!

If its a 2.5mm SATA. It should work.I would check with HP first since you will have to contact Windows to re-sync your Windows copy with the new Hard drive

It will work, but at SATA 1.5Gb/s, not SATA2 (3gb/s) or SATA3 (6gb/s). It is fast anyway and you can upgrade your Notebook in the future and keep your SSD.

If you go to crucial.com, you can enter your make/model and it will tell you which products will work. This is very similar to system I installed the drive in, no problems, huge performance boost. But double check crucial ' s site before purchasing.

Mine is a Pavilion dv7-3183cl It worked with that. I am not positive, but I believe all Dv7s use the same battery

Yes. This will connect to any SATA hard drive and connect it to a USB port in a laptop.

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.

If your Laptop has a SATA connection, it will work. To my knowledge, laptops don't have external SATA connections. Probably won't work for you. I used it as a primary drive in a desktop computer with an ASUS motherboard. Both a SATA connection and power connection are needed.

If your current drive on your laptop is a SATA drive then this hard drive by Western Digital should work for you.
