Will this WD 500Gb HD fit in my HP DV9000?

It may physically fit, but it will probably not work properly. Comments found on Internet indicate 1.5 Gb/s drives would be best for a HP DV9000. What is the model number of yours ? There seems to be many over the years. I did find the HP documentation, which indicates the 2007 version used ATA-5 for the hard drives : http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01311536.pdf, pages "5-7", "6-5-" and "6-6". SATA drives are suppose to emulate the ATA-5 mode ... The WD 500GB drive you are looking at is a 6 Gb/s (see specs : http://www.wdc.com/wdproducts/library/SpecSheet/ENG/2879-771435.pdf). That could be too much for the DV9000. If you can tell us the exact model number of your DV9000, I might be able to give a better answer. In the meantime, I would have to say 'no' as to "FIT" compatibility (ie, working properly in an HP DV9000).

Well it should it is a laptop compatible hard drive. What's your current hard drive specifications?

I have no idea other than to say it likely is. Check the specs on your existing drive, and if they're similar, I'd get it. It's a very good, fast and seemingly reliable drive. Easy to install. Do not buy the WD!

hp pavilion dv7-1261wm - 17" - turion x2 rm-74 - vista home premium 64-bit - 4 gb ram - 500 gb hdd. if this is your model than yes and no although it may fit the power requirement may be slightly different. so it may work or check around for your cpu or go for broke the worst that will happen is your pc wont turn but i bet its not doing that now

physically, it will fit. its a standard laptop sized hdd just like the original one it came with.software wise, i dont see why it wont since again its a standard hdd, but take what i say with a grain of salt.

Yes it will, I use 500gig and 1 TB hard drives on my laptops. If your system is already loaded you can image the drive.

If it has a USB connection there should be no issue. I have a 500 GB connected and have no issues. I ordered my HP split in June and have been happy with it so far.

No, from what I can tell your looking at a 3.5" hard drive and you have a laptop, so you need to look into 2.5" hard drives. this is a save bet for you WD Black 750GB Performance Mobile Hard Disk Drive - 7200 RPM SATA 6 Gb/s 16MB Cache 9.5 MM 2.5 Inch - WD7500BPKX

I assume any standard drive would fit. I currently have a 1 TB WD Black in my case.

From the information I read regarding your HP computer it should work fine. However, you might need to update your existing software, or you can use the Nero software included with the drive. Thanks, Mike

should be. I installed in an HP dv4-1125nr. Works great. Also installed a fresh copy of Windows Win7 Pro.

It would be better you youtube your search using your specific make and modle of computer. most are just plug-n-play but mine the HP DV7 1000series after simple install you have to go into the bios and marry the hard drive so it will be reconised

The biggest question is will the computer recognize the full amount of HDD size. I bought the same replacement and found out that, even with a bios update, the most that my HP DV6000 was able to see was 140 gig of the 160 gig. But other than that if your old HDD is 2.5 inches wide than yes it should fit.

It should. Any 2.5 inch drive fits in a laptop. Make sure the rpm is the same as the current drive first though.

I bought the driveless enclosure version. I then instalked a WD 500 gig laptop drive; so I cannot answer your question. However, my quess who be "yes". Cannot say that 100%.
