I have a 500gb Western Digital Hard Drives will this work?

I am not sure of a 500GB as I don't have one that size to test, but I have used an old 40GB IDE WD drive and it worked fine.

I believe it will. Does the drive say SATA on it? That specifies one of the two interfaces this cable works with.

yes it will, but afterwards you will have to extend the partition if you want to use the full drive.

Yes it will work because it is a SATA drive and your system accepts SATA drives.

It should, that is a small drive. Is it an IDE drive? If it is, yes it would work.

Steve, that sounds like a standard 3.5" Form Factor akin to the Seagate ST500NM0001, whose dimensions are 5.78x4.010x1.028 then it should work just fine. If you can find the model number on the drive, it would make it easier to check for sure.

85% sure it should work.. the connection pins on your old hard drive come off and go on the new one ... it will make sense when you take tje old one apart

If you're referring to WD 4TB My Book Desktop External Hard Drive - USB 3.0 - WDBFJK0040HBK-NESN then the answer is yes, it will work

It will work if you are replacing your existing HDD with the WD 500GB HDD, since your laptop already have a 2.5 inch HDD

The size of the drive makes no difference. As long as it has a SATA or even an old IDE connector it should work. You may not achieve peak performance specs with such setup but at least you can read/write the data off the drive.

Alex, The answer to your question is yes. Make sure both drives are the same size and same make, the drives must be identical. Earl

I too have 4 Western Digital Red 3TB drives in mine. No problems. Assuming that your drives are the same physical size as these, you should be OK.

If it's an IDE drive, it'll work. The issue is not the drive capacity, but interface. Do a Google image search on "ide drive". If the back of your drive looks like the IDE drives pictured, you're probably good to go.That said, I am not a hardware guru and I could be wrong.

The short answer is, yes. Though the drive is rated to work on SATA 6GB/sec it is backwards compatible and should work.

From what I can tell, it will not. It looks as if you'll need a 12.7 mm hard drive caddy.

Yes, you have a SATA controller so this drive will work. You should be able to install an even larger drive if you want as well.
