Is this Caddy SATA 150 or SATA 300?

The caddy is SATA 300. That means, HP can use it at the external speed of Intel interface which is 1/2 of internal one. You can use both SATA drives.

I did a little research and I believe you want this product http://www.amazon.com/SATA-caddy-12-7mm-Universal-DVD-ROM/dp/B0056EW4A4/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1373680430&sr=1-1&keywords=12.7+caddy you need a Serial ATA caddy, not IDE. Also the thickness of the caddy should be 12.7mm instead of 9.5mm. You might want to measure the thickness of the drive yourself, or dig a little deeper than 1 google search to find out. Good Luck!

It is a standard SATA connector. I added an SSD to mine first thing. Warning: This will void the warranty.

So, it's a SATA. Thank you so much for replying -- it's very much appreciated...

I'm not sure of the exact specs but I/OMagic says the drive supports any SATA or PATA 3.5" HDD on their website.

Depends on computer. Go to profile on computer an it will list what it is. IDE is to old interface SATA in newer.

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.

According to the specifications for both items it should be. It is a SATA drive and the C500 is a notebook computer with a SATA HDD interface. here are two links:1) c500 specs: http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/ca/en/ho/WF06a/12139188-78299199-78308301-78308301-78308301-79478202.html?dnr=12) Seagate Momentus 640GB specs: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148527

Likely not the caddy (which basically to secure the drive in place). Possibilities: loose connection(s) such as drive not firmly inserted to the inner mini sata connector, etc.

It has worked with all my SATA drives from 100GB to 750GB. You'll have to use an adapter for pin conversion.

SATA3 drives are backwards compatible with SATA1. It's merely a bandwidth upgrade that you won't be able to take advantage of. So you should be alright with this drive though you might lose a bit of performance in the read speed in some instances.

This hard drive is compatible with sata 6gb? I hope your early reply thank you in advance.

The SSD is SATA3. One is a piece of hardware, the other is the way it connects to the computer. #lmgtfy

Their website indicates that there are a pair of SATA III 7200 drives in the product. I don't know about swapping them out for other drives.

Yes. There is also an INtel C600 controller built in on the regular SATA ports. You just can't use SAS drives. If you want to use 15k drives then you need the PIKE 2208. The intel is not a high end controller so take that into consideration.
