Provided the lapton uses a sata HDD connection & the new drive will physically fit, it will work fine.

I suggest you contact Crucial. If you were going to use it, I reccomend you to install a fresh build.

Wow, lots of quick responses to your question! Actually, the others have answered quite well already. But what the hey Linda, I'll put in my two cents!Make sure your Dell has a SATA hard disk (check specs for its model number). And remember that this SSD (128gb) probably isn't as large as your disk drive...be sure you have enough room.I also like the comment that it's best if you do a fresh build, say a Win7 reinstall.Be sure to back up your files first!Good luck!

It should. Most Laptop hard drives should be 2.5, however, the SATA cable connecting the hard-drive needs to be the same and should be capable of write speeds of up to 6Gb/s.

It worked with me Dell Latitude E6410 laptop without issue. I did perform a firmware update to the laptop, but I do not think that was a requirement. But the speed difference was awesome

Yes it will be fine if it is replacing the main hard drive. I am seeing from another answer that Dell laptops might have issues if it is going to to be a secondary drive in certain models. It is just the hard drive in the package and nothing else to transfer or clone the hard drive you have now.
607792
I have it installed in a Dell Studio 1735 laptop as the primary drive. If it is to be a secondary drive, you will probably need a kit that includes a bracket and a connector adapter. If you don't have the same model laptop, I suggest you contact Crucial.
607793
I think most modern laptops in the last 5 plus years will work with this hard drive. My bet is it will. The issue to consider is how will you use the hard drive? Will you image your old drive or install a fresh build?

yes...I received mine end of last week. Installed in Dell 1750 and has performed wonderfully. I did follow the installation instructions - i.e. run completely down & then charge back 100% after install.

I have not worked on that particular model of laptop. However, I have worked on at least a dozen other laptops of various brand (Toshiba, Sony, HP, and Dell) and I have been successful in using SSD drives in them. Only in once Dell laptop was the drive a problem. The SSd driive is thinner than the SATA drive that comes in the laptop. Because it did not have any mounting bracket and slid directly into the laptop, it would not line up properly. I had to cut out a few sheets of thin plastic and tape them to the drive to give it the thickness it needed to line up . After that, it went in fine and has been working fine ever since.

Mine didn't work either. As a last resort, I thought I'd just just use it as a standard 8gb storage card. No luck. Computer shows it has only 93kb of storage space - not 8gb. Tried reformatting - no change. Just a $35 piece of garbage. My suggestion - throw it in the trash where it belongs.

I would contact Dell directly or their online forum with this question. Remember you will be giving up 750 gigabytes of storage. Compare your performance with reviews of the Samsung from the Internet to be sure this drive will accomplish your intention. I use the free version of Sandra Lite to measure my performance... http://www.sisoftware.net/?d=&f;=downandbuy&l;=en&a;=

Same thing happened to me. I just bought mine from Amazon and received it yesterday. If fits into my husbands DELL though.I have no answer.

I am not sure it will work with your dell. what I did was go to Crucial sitehttp://www.crucial.com/ and use the system scanner. It will tell you whatmemory can be use. then go back to amazon and look up that memory and purchase from them.

Yes, this will work. Western Digital Black drives are some of the most reliable drives that I've encountered. It's only 9.5mm thick and should physically fit in any laptop with sata interface. Also, just because your Dell came with a 320gb drive, you are not limited to this size. The 500 and 750gb version of this drive will also work (any 2.5" sata drive including solid state drives that aren't over 9.5mm thick) will work. If you are going to image (clone) your existing drive to this one, you'll need a docking station or other usb interface. There are plenty of youtube videos showing how to change and clone laptop drives.

I called Dell support and they gave me the specs for my machine along with their price. I compared what I was given to the Amazon product description. It matched and Amazon was less expensive. I suggest that you do the same.

Well, using the WD 120GB External HD should give issues. as of now, it is working fine for me. Try to verify the USB2 Enhanced Host Controller should appear in the Device Manager. If you installed the Dell Notebook System Software at last, this might not work properly. Thanks

I can't tell you. I couldn't get it to function on my Dell with Windows 7. I kept getting a message that it was not completely loaded. I tried loading it several times with the same result. have no clue what is happening. I was going to send it back but that would cost almost as much as it's worth so I just chalked ut up as a learning experience. sorry I couldn't be of more help, John

Liz, I don't know! I am not a computer geek. However, you want to compare the details on the original battery label word for word against the one you are buying and the seller said it work with your dell studio xps 1645. The details included on the labels are AC,DC, PA-3. Fam..., DP/N:..., pa-1...., model No: LA90....., and ??W-ac adapter, etc. You want to compare it with a few seller of the same or similar battery you are buying. If you are replacing the battery, you will also want to replace the harddrive as well. If you have encounter click click sound or similar sound from your laptop and or have encounter laptop asking you to check your disk, is time to replace the harddrive too as it is going bad!! I recently replaced another standard harddrive with this: SanDisk Extreme II 120GB SATA 6.0GB/s 2.5-Inch 7mm Height Solid State Drive (SSD) With Red Up To 550MB/s & Up To 91K IOPS- SDSSDXP-120G-G25. I have replaced both adapter/harddrive twice on my E6400 before, the next time it maybe a new dell laptop and turn the old E6400 into a spare desktop as some of the keys have fallen off the laptop. Good Luck!

jnwarm, if you were referring to Seagate Momentus 750GB XT, unfortunately Amazon does provide info which item I purchased in responding to. I currently I have it in my Dell Latitude E6510 and working with no issue.

I put mine in a Dell Latitude D830 laptop. It works better than fine. I hope this helps.

When I bought this laptop, I am sure that it was "New". I saw several that were used or refurbished and I did not want one of them. I do not recall seeing similar 'warnings' when I bought this product. In addition, it was over $500. I specifically wanted a Windows 7 machine and they are becoming hard to find. I've heard of too many issues with Windows 8. This machine has an Intel i3 chip and I would have preferred an i5 but could not find a Win 7 & i5 machine and I did not want to order one from Dell.. I'm satisfied with the laptop. My wife has a similar laptop that is 18 months old and she has not had any problems with it. Today, Dell still has a good name and is reliable.

I'm not sure either sorry. Go to crucial to find out. I have a M500 480GB in a 3 yr old Dell Inspirion M5010. I wouldn't purchase a 120GB anyway. 480GB or larger. BTW, If want to clone your old drive, you will have to purchase a HDD USB cable separately for the M500. You will want to purchase a SSHD unit that has been on the market for a while to make sure the bugs are all out of that particular model.
