Can this hard drive work on my old Dell Dimemsion 4300 ?!?.

Not likely. Your machine uses IDE drives and this is a SATA drive, I suspect you need Seagate ST3320620A 320GB Barracuda 7200.10rpm 16MB Cache IDE Ultra ATA100 / ATA-6 3.5" Hard DriveBTW, your machine will allow you to add a second drive, so if your original drive is functional but out of space, a second drive may help (but if you are not comfortable working on these machines, you may need to hire someone to install a second drive)

Generally if it has a standard SATA connection, it should work. The only thing I could see a possible issue with would be the encryption that the drive uses and if special software would be necessary. I don't know much about that type of drive.

no these are not dell drives. these are seagate with seagate firmware. but I would guess these would work anyways.

I tried it with my Dell E6400, but it crashed my computer. I had to purchase new hard drive and Dell certified memory, then I had to try and recover lost data. I don't recommend.

Just reviewed the specs on the Dell Inspirion 1100 and it looks like the computer supports EIDE and ATA internal drives so this drive should work. My only concern would be some sort of propriety connection that Dell might have used but you should be able to pull the adapter off the old drive and plug it into this one.

I'd recommend you remove the existing drive in your Dell and measure it. If the measurements are the same, then this will work no problem. Removing your current drive should be fairly simple. Just undo screws on the underside and you should be able to pull it right out.

Not sure about the dell but the hard drive was new. If the dell has a sata harddrive this will work. If it has a ide harddrive it will not work

I see no reason why you could not unless it's on an older desktop running XP or the such. I'm using it as a archive disk and not a boot disk. I know some systems will only see these larger 3 TB and 4 TB disk as external USB items but I have not had that problem with the companys Dell systems or the high end clients that I've built. Here is a little diddy from Western Digital about the subject matter that may help you: http://wdc.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/2754/~/hard-drives-greater-than-2-tb-do-not-work-on-existing-operating-systems

I installed in HP 2730p 6 months ago & it works great, faster, cooler are some of the benefits. I would have preferred higher capacity but they seem to have stopped making the larger, about double the capacity, SSD. It should work, but don't know specifically if it will work for the Dell, but I suggest that you at least partially remove the old orig hard drive to see if anything physically unusual about it such as connector adapter used or not. Other than that I don't see why it wouldn't work...also mine had Vista on it originally so I upgraded to Win 7 64 immediately, which made it very easy to set up.

Yes. I replaced my failed 6 year old HDD in my dell inspiron 6400. It only lasted about a month though however I am very abusive with my computers using them in my workshop and whatnot

I have a 1 TB hard drive mine. If you meant 4TB then IDK. If you did mean 4 GB that drive so old that it would have IDE connecters on it and not SATA so no it wouldn't work.

I tried to find information about the hard drive,but didn't have enough data.The model number of the old laptop would probably help.It does need to be a sata & preferably at least 160 gig.The voltage is o.k.I see from some of the other answers it should be sata & 160 gig.

I'm using it with a Dell 6530 so it should work. I believe the chassis is the same between the two models. I added a 1TB drive and it has transformed my machine.

Yes it will work fine. I like the way it's answered on this page: http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/laptop/f/3518/t/19253643.aspx Keep in mind that when the person asking says 3gb drive he means sata 3.

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

The size of the drive makes no difference. As long as it has a SATA or even an old IDE connector it should work. You may not achieve peak performance specs with such setup but at least you can read/write the data off the drive.

I see no reason why not. just pop the new drive in the old ones place, they hook up the same way. However be warned, all of your data will be lost in this process. You should have a windows sticker somewhere on your computer case that has your product key, all you need to do is find a copy of the windows version that you have, install it and put in that product key. To find the drivers that you need just go to dells website and download them from there. If you ever get stuck during the process, google is your best friend.
