I want to transfer data from a Micro SATA drive from a "dead" Dell XPS to another computer to save my data. Will this connect the two? will it work?

One End you will connect to your working PC with the USB port. The other with the SATA. It should automatically find it.

You have to find out the voltage of the hard drive first as the sata part will work on the left hand side of the cable but the voltage on the right needs to be the same as the hard drive.

Hey Stephen , also you can use this Cable for take copy of your data from your Micro Sata HDD to other PC ( Via USB Cable ) .Look here : Micro SATA 1.8" to USB 2.0 Adapter CableSaludos

Update: You need to be CERTAIN the ssd is MICRO sata, and the other connection is STANDARD SATA, as I see it. My mistake was not even knowing there was such a thing as SLIMLINE sata, but WTH... Six bucks...? NBD... I'd send you mine, but I never get anything done. 'Buried somewhere anyway...

Yes, the Western Digital Bare Drive 320GB WD Blue SATA III 5400 RPM Drive should easily fit your Dell XPS. If you desire to clone the operating system and data from your current drive, I recommend choosing a Samsung or Seagate hard drive because the cloning software provided by Western Digital is less than desirable. Samsung and Seagate provide excellent cloning software with their drives If you will be reinstalling the operating system from a backup CDs or DVD, this drive should work nicely.

This will work with either SATA or PATA drives, connectors are included for both. I hooked up an old 250 GB. PATA drive as new motherboard had no connectors for it.

I am not 100% familiar with the dell XPS13 model, but as long as it uses an mSATA type drive it should work. Here is a youtube video that may be of help with the swap. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usk560qAboA

The package indicates it will transfer data from Windows XP or Vista. I had XP. It worked great for XP. Good luck!

You should have no problem using this drive in the Dell computer. Any Sata desktop drive will work in your machine.

I cannot answer your question, but be aware there are serial (SATA) and parallel (PATA) hard drive types. Check with Dell for your type.

Its for an external hard drive that you can connect by USB-2 or -3 or eSATA connection. For an internal drive, you wouldn't need this external enclosure. Its great for an external back-up or supplemental drive because of its fast connections and included fan. I use it with a 4TB SATA III drive in W7, but I don't think it can use the full features of SATA II/III drives, like the 6Gb/s transfer speed or the advanced command set. I'm not sure about XP, but 2TB should be OK without any additional driver. HTH.

Yes. That is what I ised the Belkin for. Note that there are several different types of the easy transfer cables and you need the ones that says it is for XP to 7.

Sorry Randy, only used it across XP to Win7. It should work as its a data transfer tool. Good Luck!

It should, but the advantage of this drive is that it has USB 3.0. That means that if your computer has USB 3.0, you can move files on and off of it very fast. A computer that still runs Windows XP almost certainly does not have USB 3.0 ports, so you're better off getting an older USB 2.0 16GB drive for less money.

If its Sata it wont work, has to be ATA or they also called it IDE, for newer Dell Laptops, Sata will work and not ATA (IDE).

It worked well on our Dell computer....we had it hood up in a matter of minutes but I am unsure about the different Dell models. We just plugged it in the USB port, followed the instructions and get great data transfer....good luck

Absolutely. I have an older Dell running XP with an older Buffalo external drive attached (that's why a secondBuffalo drive to a second PC) that has maybe 20,000 photos plus tons of other files on it. Assuming you havea fee USB port, an external disk is the way to go especially on older PCs with a smaller C drive.

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.

Heather, I can't speak for sure but I'd double check with Belkin before purchasing. It worked great from my XP desktop to my Win7 Netbook. In any event, you do need a special transfer usb cable, not just a plain usb cable. Hope this helps.
