It will fit. Don't through out the old mounting case because sometime the new mounting do not fit properly but you can switch the old one with the new one. It will work a 100%.

Take it out, put it in again, making sure it is firmly attached to the carrier (if there is one) and firmly pushed into the contacts before screwing it in place.

Hughes, sorry to hear that the product did not work for you. I ordered the same hard drive for my Toshiba which uses the IDE connector and it worked fine. In same laptops it is not easy to fit in the hard drive and align the pins properly but if your laptops uses IDE connectors, I am very positive that the product will work. As far as i know, the hard drive is either a SATA, PATA or IDE kind of technology. And if it IDE, that drive should be able to work. However, your situation may be different am not sure, but all i say mine is working fine. Otherwise you can also try to compare with the old one and see if there is a match. Thank you.

The drive should drop right into your laptop, according to both Dell and Crucial. I have had no difficulty putting them into a number of different laptops. The 512 specs out slightly faster, but only very slightly. They're both very fast, use very little power, and very resistant to data loss from dropping. Just turn off auto-defrag!

I did a search for the Dell inspiron 15r SE Caddy and found a youtube video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RMRw1QaZGk, on replacement. The Caddy in the video is very different from the one in question. I don't believe it will work.

Hi Margot, I honestly couldn't tell you. Do you have the model number of your Dell Inspiron 15? There is another site I use that is pretty detailed in finding it. It's called www.laptops4less.com I have ordered from them before and they are reputable. Sorry I couldn't help you more. :\

The HDD should be able to fit just fine. As to the recovery drive, unless there is already a second HDD in the system then the recovery drive is a partition on the the HDD that you want to replace.

Well I think my laptop is different from yours. It might fit but I'm not quite sure. You could order it and see if it fits. And if it doesn't, you can just return it just as I am doing.

Just make sure that your computer does use one of those model numbers. My Dell Computer has a model number on it, so that's what I ordered. If you did order the right model number, than send it back if it doesn't work, I would.

Hi, I don't know if this will fit your computer or not. You will have to go to the Dell site and search for the specs to see if it will work. http://search.dell.com/results.aspx?s=gen&c=us&l=en&cat=prod&k=inspiron+1545&p=1 The number to Dell is on this site. I went to the site for you and could not find any help. Dell is not very helpful with that on their site. I have a Toshiba, and it told me exactly what I needed. Or, Call TigerDirect at (800) 800-8300 and ask them if it will fit, and they will be able to tell you what will fit. Sorry I could not help you. If I were you, I would call Dell and find out if it will fit. Good luck.

This HD will not fit in a laptop. it is too large physically and the plugs are wrong. It is designed for a desktop and will not work in older desktops which use the wide data cables. It is a SATA drive not an IDE drive. I replaced a HD in a Win 7 desktop and it worked great.

I suggest that you contact Dell. It did fit a laptop that is about four years old but I do not recall the specific machine. Sorry that I can't provide more info.
