Sata II for dell dimension 3100?

It should be fine. SATA II drives are supposed to be backward compatible with first-generation SATA motherboards. There are a few exceptions to the automatic adjustment, but WD has a fix for that involving a jumper on the HDD: http://wdc.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/wdc.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=1337

I cannot answer your question, but be aware there are serial (SATA) and parallel (PATA) hard drive types. Check with Dell for your type.

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

If its Sata it wont work, has to be ATA or they also called it IDE, for newer Dell Laptops, Sata will work and not ATA (IDE).

Sure is - any 2.5" Sata HDD will do the trick. I do recommend upgrading to the WD Black rather than Bare. They're built better and have faster read/write speeds.

Yo Linda,Indeed your Dell E 310 can support these babies, but they may not be utilized to its full potential. You say you have two slots, as in two additional vacant slots on your motherboard, or just two slots total?Are you replacing or adding more ram?

hard drive is a hard drive... it will work in a dell 310 but it might void warranty from dell..

This one should work for you. I looked up the Dell you mentioned, it originally came with a SATA drive, so it will fit right in and work. It's easy to install the HD in the case. It even comes with the tiny screwdriver you need.

It's the same connection as a 2tb, it's SATA3, any windows 7 or 8 will compatible, the major spec you have to look is your motherboard, it has to be a uefi compatible board to go beyond the 2tb limit, if it's a recent motherboard it probably is, just check your manufacturer and model to be 100%. Search for: 3tb and uefi motherboards. Hope this helps

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.

Yes. I installed TWO of these drives into my Dell 8700. Assuming you have an open hard drive (HDD) bay, you'll need a SATA cable to connect the drive to your motherboard and 2.5" mounting tray such as: Silverstone Tek 3.5-Inch to 2 X 2.5-Inch Hard Drive HDD SSD Bay Converter.

Check out Crucial.com and browse to Dell &gt; Dimension &gt; 4600 and you'll find exactly what type of memory you need. Check Amazon's price though, they may be better than crucial.

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.

Yes, almost any sata 2, 2.5 will work, (the thicker ones may require you to check how thick you can go with in your model). I would suggest you go with a faster speed though, like 7200 or even 10000 rpm, as you will get better performance with the faster seek times compared to the 5400 rpm. Personally, on a laptop, I would fork out the extra cash for an ssd drive, as it is not only faster, but more reliable if you move the laptop around a lot.

Should be compatible, just make sure you know what type of cable connection ports you have IDE or SATA, it is a simple swap.

I installed a Crucial M500 120GB SSD SATA 3 2.5" Hard Drive and it is working well. It has to be 2.5". Not sure on SATA 2.

I am not sure. I surfed the web for a while to see which sata would work. But from what I know the 3200 are the natural fit. The 7200 are faster but drain your battery faster from what I have read.
