I have a dell inspiron 1545. can you confirm the drive is 9mm in thickness? if it's any thinner it won't fit correctly in the caddy. thanks!

According to the spec listed here http://www.wdc.com/wdproducts/library/SpecSheet/ENG/2879-701278.pdf , its 9.50mm thick. I had to look for a similar criteria since I bought it for my PS3.

This Hardrive will fit perfectly. Your laptop uses the SATA interface and is also a 2.5 ". Will work and fit perfectly. Hope that helped

Hi Nick...Your Dell 1545 has a standard SATA interface. It takes a standard 2.5" drive, so this drive will work just fine. By the way, I've been using mine in my Slim PS3. The console gets a LOT of use, & the drive has been working perfectly. I'm very glad that I got it... PS: I did quite of bit of checking when I was looking to buy a new HD. This drive got consistently good reviews. Now...I'm just one more person who feels it was worth the money...

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'm using a Samsung 830 SSD in mine. I cant remember if I've also got a mechanical 2.5" in there too. It should take 2 of any SSD or 2.5" mechanical hard drive (search for laptop internal drives).These are very fiddly to build and hard to manage the cables inside, very little space inside so take your time. I broke the external USB 3 connection when I built mine because its tricky.

I'd say yes. The specs for the caddy say that the HD should be 1/2" thick. These two drives are a tad thinner. I use the caddy with a SSD drive that is also thinner than 1/2", and it works just fine.

I do not know if that will fit. I have only used the slim 2.5" drives. My use is for a controller for a CNC router with an ATOM processor and a small disk drive as my storage requirements are minimal. At 15mm thick I suspect that the drive might be too tall. Check the Antec web site and see if they list specifics for the drive size.

I used caddy for 2.5" SSD. Sorry I do not know about about other configurations.

Owner of a Dell Inspiron 1720 as well with a solution: You probably need a hard drive caddy ( if installing a second drive; and/or unscrew the one from drive replacing) and a black adapter for the new drive which you will find you already have: it is on the old drive! I had the same vexing problem and looked at the new drive and the dead one and you will see that black adapter. Pull off and then put it on the new drive, install in drive caddy then caddy will slide into drive bay. I had the same thought when i bought my new drive. Good luck! (i am assuming that perhaps the adapter is prob not needed for newer models and doesnt ship with one anymore...)

I know this is an old question, but if it helps in the future for someone else it's worth answering. Some laptops will only accept a 9mm thick drive. Some will take 11mm or more. That's the only question to keep in mind with almost any laptop or mini desktop. It's also valid for any SATA drive. You can google your models tech specs or speak with a technician.

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.

Andrew, That's a generic Seagate drive but the Dell version you would need is Dell Part # W347K. Order that part # and you should be good. I hope this helps answer your question.ScottAll Computer Parts

I used this in a Dell Latitude E6400, however I removed my old drives top cover and used it on my new drive, because the locking button to remove the drive was attached to old drives top cover. I also swapped out the plastic cover on the front with my old drive to match my laptop case. As far as how similar the precision and latitude hardware are, I can't say. You might want to look that up to see if parts are interchangeable.

Just measured mine. One will only take standard 9.5mm drives. The other will fit up to 12mm without issue. 15mm will be pushing on the top cover and not fit nicely. Sorry.

My drive (Hitachi HDD) was 70mm (2.75") and fits snuggly in the caddy; the caddy came with small screws which retain the drive through holes located in a place which appeared standard to receive the SATA drive.

Boy, I would check with Toshiba. I am sure they have a solution for their laptop. I really do not think that this caddy will work in a Toshiba, but I could be wrong. I had a hard enough time getting it to work in a Dell. I now own a Toshiba as well and would give them a call when faced with this issue.

I don't believe it will fit. Try the 2nd Hard Drive Caddy DELL E6400, E6500, E6410, E6510 Modular Bay (original Newmodeus), also sold by Amazon.

Sorry, I don't understand the question. I don't know much about the drive. The one in my Dell Inspiron failed and this was a good economical replacement.

Contrary to what James and Jerry said, not all SATA drives will fit. Only drives that are thinner (shorter) than 12.7mm tall will fit. You can fit a thicker HDD in the caddy, but the caddy can't fit back into the computer. I tried it with a thicker drive and it simply won't work. Historically, 2.5" drives came as thick as 19mm, and some are still listed on amazon. For example search amazon for Toshiba-213mb.Most current model 2.5" SATA drives are thin enough, but check your specs carefully on the manufacturer's website.
