Would I be able to use this w Compaq 6510b laptop?? Do I have to get a separate caddy for this hard disk?

Yes If you are replacing a hard drive just remove the old hard drive and put the new one in the caddy there might be screws you would have to remove and put back in.

Hi Muhammad. I had a similar HP model (same enclosure as the Compaq 6510b) and the hard drive fit very well. You won't need any separate caddies as it replaces your old hard disk.Cheers.

This is really designed to fit in a desk top. Your laptop would have to have room for it as its not meant to replace your spinning hardrive but instead work with it.

There is a specific spot for your laptop, so there's a foam wall type partition. It will hold its shape, just know there's a divider in there you can't remove.

The hard drive is perfectly fine and fits all requirements for the laptop, however your lenovo was not made for a hard drive swap and I dont think it can be done

I have Lenovo W520. It has removable CD drive caddy. Easily removable by pressing a lever, no need to open laptop. HD caddy fit perfectly to replace CD drive caddy

I cannot find the specs on your current Optical Disk drive. Check and see if it has a mini-sata connector on the back (http://www.ixbt.com/editorial/idf7p/d0/k18.jpg). And if it does measure how tall the drive is with a millimeter ruler. That should allow you determine whether or not this is right for you. Also the Asus website says your laptop already supports two hard drives.

I don't think you should need any extra hardware if these are physically the same dimensions. I replaced an old hard disk in a Toshiba Laptop with this larger capacity version and I just reused the frame around the old hard disk.

Hi Tammy I do not think that you should put your laptop in the caddy it will not fit any way. I use it to for my magazines, cell phone, glasses, tv remote, and things like that. It will slide so you have to tuck it under the mattress good.

you would need to remove the hard drive from your laptop and yes you will be able to use it

Hey Todd, Yes. I don't have that notebook, but after doing a quick search it looks like the Asus x500ca will fit a HDD Caddy. You'll need the 9.5mm caddy. There is actually a quick 3min video on Youtube that shows just how to install it. I don't know if links are allowed in Amazon answers but just search "Asus x550 SSD+HDD upgrade". Hope that helps, enjoy the SSD speeds.

UPDATE: I gave some maybe bad info. The caddy in question may be to thick for the N550JV. It needs a caddy for a 7mm drive. Assuming a proper 7mm caddy ---- The cosmetic cover can also be transferred to the new HDD caddy. Easy, but you need the right tools that are readily available. Also, your will need a thin 7mm HDD. A standard laptop HDD will be too thick. I put an SSD in the C:\ slot, and a 1TB HDD in the DVD slot. Samsung has an inexpensive external DVD for I think about $30. Good luck.

Any sata drive should be fine, and all of the versions are backwards compatible with the sata version. You just have to screw it into the caddy on your current drive, but if you don't need that much space look at a 128 GB solid state drive sdd at 2.5 inches. Make your lap top faster on the cheap.

Yes, you can put it in a desktop. You may need mounting brackets to fit it in the case. There will probably be a slight performance hit, due to the slower RPM of the laptop drive. Check put the spec's at WD's website comparing the 2.5" versus the 3.5" drive.

I was able to use the caddy that was already in the computer. It didn't look like it initially, but it can be separated from the old drive.

You could, if you bought an optical drive separate to put in this laptop. Ordered as-is, it doesn't come with an optical drive (CD or DVD-Rom).

The caddy itself is pretty shallow and designed to fit normal sized hard drives. Normal being around 10mm. The 2 TB version of this drive is 15mm is significantly taller. I do not think just as is it will fit however depending on if you feel like modifying the caddy You could make it fit. GL

I have purchased caddies for all 4 of my laptops, from a different seller for each, and in my opinion you need to be more concerned with ordering one for the proper make and model of laptop you own. These caddies are all basically the same, and should work properly, as long as the height and key is proper. I have found no difference in the actual product and all sellers delivered in the advertised time.
