How thick is the hard drive? There are newer models that will not work in my Dell Insprion 1525 because they are smaller.

My son installed it for me. I will have to ask him, so I will get back to you within a day or two if that is okay.HVRANDEVR

It fit my 2 year old Dell 1525 perfectly. Might have been a little smaller but it did work in my current HDrive holder and plugged right in. I popped in my restore CD and reloaded all the original programs and Carbonite restored all the rest fo my files. My complete HD replacement took about 4 hours. 20 minutes of actual work and the rest just watching it restore files. Very easy. So far it has worked great.

I am not sure exactly how thick it is but it fit perfectly in my laptop. It is also working great. I haven't had any problems at all and it was easy to install.

This is not a small form factor drive. It is full size and will not work with your notebook. We bought it to put in a server.

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.

The drive is thicker than most laptop drive bays and will not fit in most laptops.

I was really surprised to find that the hard drive was not user serviceable. I eventually opened up the whole thing See pictures below. Opening it up was not that difficult. Just needed to be careful not to break some tiny keyboard connectors/cable. This is a good thin 14" laptop with DVD; the only complaint is this built-in hard drive thing. http://i41.tinypic.com/35hizhh.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/27yoif5.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/14l3faq.jpg

Your going to need to remove you optical drive and see how thick it is. I saw a picture of your laptop when I googled the model # and you might be able to just pop off the faceplate on the drive and see how thick it is. This one your looking at on amazon.com is 9.5mm there is also a 12mm I belive.

This drive is actually 15mm thick, which is the double-platter drive size. As such, it did not fit in my Dell Precision M6600. Your mileage may vary.

Sorry, I do not know the answer to this. Not familiar with any of the Dell Inspiron line of computers. It will certainly depend on the drive type(s) supported by these chassis, and may also be dependent on the operating system in use.

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.

It is a 2.5 inch style drive. But check the specs to make sure this drive is the right thickness (height) for your application. I use TWO of these in my Mac Mini which I upgraded. Like them very much so far, no problems here.

This laptop model looks very recent according to its specs on the Dell site. With that said I am sure this drive will work in this laptop. If Dell has some weird mounting hardware that does not work with this drive you can always return it but I don't forsee that as a problem.

Don't listen to those who say 3.5 inch HDD. I jhave used these and now SDDs for over 8 years in my desktops and for those I build for othwers. Theya re awesome. less power, less heat, less noise. Go for it.

It is a little chunky width wise. Don't count on it fitting next to something else in the USB cluster.The Samsung extreme is a comparable drive with the thinness you need.

Well, I did buy this and am not having any issue so far. I use it as a backup disk and carry files. It works fine for me even if I connect it to a USB Hub. I have used it with different Dell Laptops with NO issues.

Laptops use a 2.5" width hard disk drive; I don't recall any that use the 3.5" form factor. Having said that, the manufacturer of laptops (or netbooks) uses HDD from various suppliers. We had an ACER with a defective OEM Hitachi drive, and replaced it with the Scorpio. No issues at all. You shouldn't have any problems whatsoever.
