Can I use this in my old SATA 2007 Dell Inspiron 1520? Confused between this and http://amzn.com/B004I9J5OG

Yes, it's a 2.5" so it will fit. You won't get Sata 3 6 Gbit/s speeds though since the Dell is old. It will drop down to either 1.5 or 3 Gbit/s depending on if the Dell can handle Sata 1 or Sata 2.

All of these kinds of adapters are very flaky. They work with some drives, and others they will not. There is no way of knowing unless you can find someone that's using your exact same drives. Among several variables, it's the chipset of the drive that usually determines this. (This DID NOT WORK with a SATA HD I got, trying to use it in an external IDE enclosure. In a case such as that, it may be the HD or of course it may be the enclosure). I've tried similar adapters with optical drives and some worked and some did not.

You can use any Sata drive. They must be the same size. If they're dissimilar sizes it will only be as large as the smallest drive. So far it's worked flawlessly

I am using it on a Dell Inspiron 1525 and it seems to be working fine...although initially the Inspiron 1525 said it could not recognize it.

Hello, as far as I know, this SATA drive will works flawlessly in your netbook or any other laptop. I hope it clarifies your questions. Regards. David

Most SATA3 devices are compatible with SATA1 and SATA2. Definitely research, but from experience most likely you're fine.

its not compatible, the dell inspiron 1525 has only a internal (built internally) video card.... cannot be removed or changed

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 used them in an Inspiron 1721 and they are related. The Dell site should have the specs of the 1525.

I don't believe so. This works great for me! I'm using it in a Dell Inspiron 14 and it was an easy install with absolutely no problems. Please verify the connectors are connected properly and everything will be fine.

SATA 3 should be backward compatible. I use this to clone SATA drives. Contact StarTech.com to be sure.

This is internal drive, so we assume you already have an adapter that convert internal SATA port to eSATA2. If that's the case it will work.

That should work fine with the SATA interface. If you are upgrading I hope you have an "image" of your original drive, or contact Toshiba support to obtain an original disk set for your unit.

I'm sure it would work as I recall it uses a 2.5 sat drive. I ordered one for a 9600 dell, interesting thing it was I received a brand name product. good luck.

Andrew, That's a generic Seagate drive but the Dell version you would need is Dell Part # W347K. Order that part # and you should be good. I hope this helps answer your question.ScottAll Computer Parts

As long as your Dell Inspiron has a HDD/SSD slot for it and -ALL- of your drivers are updated (Including BIOS and the SSD Firmware), then you should be fine. Just remember to map out the local drive after installation by giving it a letter (such as D: or E: if your main drive is C:), sometimes it won't automatically do it.

Most Sata connectors are backwards compatible. Just do a quick Google search.
