Do you know how this PATA SSD can be installed in a Latitude C840 Laptop?

It depends on the dell model. Basically the bios has to support the board in the ssd which controls the pata interface. I did not get lucky myself because the bios does not see the drive. If your laptop bios doesn't detect it in the bios then you are in the same situation.

Yes, you can use this drive; I just checked an online manual, and your C840 uses a PATA drive on a pull-out adapter drawer, so it shouldn't even be all that hard to physically install (with the caddy). I did see a Youtube video that explained in the comments that you *must* have the drive adapter caddy (because the C840 uses the "finger-to-pins" type slot, and so the stock PATA pins style of the KingSpec need the caddy w/adapter; so long as you've the proprietary pins-to-slot adapter, you should be okay). You should read my review for install suggestions, etc.

Should work fine, use the adapter from the drive you are replacing if possible.

There's no mSATA port in external chassis. Inside the laptop it should have a mSATA bracket to install mSATA SSD. We can verify with MSI next Monday.

I haven't done that with this laptop, but have swapped a hard drive with an SSD on another HP laptop and it worked great. You just need to get an SSD hard drive that fits in a laptop, most of the more common SSD's do. You also will need to backup and restore the operating system from the existing disk to the new ssd drive.

Yes, I have the same laptop and I am doing it right now. This is the perfect little SSD for your laptop. It is the same exact size as the 24 GB SSD cache drive.

Don't know because each PC has different motherboard and even if it has a mini SATA (msata) connector you'll need to find out if it will boot from that port. Seems like the newest PCs are much more likely to have an msata slot but even when it does, it may not be useable for installing and O.S. I got 2 of these SSDs and most of the PCs I tried it with won't boot from there so I couldn't load Windows and use the other drive for storage as I planned.

This laptop use a 2.5 inch ssd drive. So you can install 80, 120, 240GB... Have a nice day.

I can not answer that question because I did not install the SSD. I brought it to the greek squad at Bestbuy. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

I'm not sure, however there are videos that would show you how to insert an mSATA SSD to any ASUS laptop and also I believe that most ASUS laptops can be customized.

Yes. You can. Once you install the mSATA into your adapter it behaves just like a regular SSD and you can put it in a docking station, usb adapter, whatever you want just as if you had an SSD. Bear in mind that the lack of a plastic enclosure, and therefore lack of mechanical guide, will make it necessary for you to guide the adapter for mating into the SATA connectors by hand. I hope that this helps.

HiThe hard drive you are asking about is a SATA. Not a PATA.If you got mixed up with your question, let me see if I can tell what you ment to ask.You have a PATA computer and want to install this SATA hard drive.Only if you can find an adaptor from PATA to SATA will you be able to use it.I've been there and done that. I could not find one anyware on line.Companies say they have them, but I went through 3 different companies and all were wrong.I called them on the phone and 4 out of 5 did not know or did not have the knowledge to give me the answer. 1 left me on hold for over 10 minites so I hung up.Good luckDavid HiThe hard drive you are asking about is a SATA.

I'm not familiar with that Dell laptop. It would need an available mSATA slot to install the Crucial SSD. If you install an operating system on it, you just need a boot loader that allows you to choose which drive you want to boot. I have the SSD installed on an Intel NUC mini computer with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. It has a boot loader, so I can choose to load Win7 instead, if I need it, from my old hard drive that I put into an external USB case.

it uses a m-sata connector so if your laptop supports it there should be no problem using it as a ssd or cache disk

Hi Kevin, I'm sorry but I don't know :) My advice / comments were based only on the c500sa, if the current card in your system is not embedded into the motherboard, then I believe it should work. Best thing to do is to crack the laptop open and check it out....maybe this link will help you http://www.jdhodges.com/blog/asus-q200e-ssd-upgrade-swap-hdd/ same procedure to change the drive, you can see the wifi NIC above and right of the harddrive. Please do this at your own risk....

Without seeing the machine, it's hard to tell, but I've seen some websites which suggest that it uses a PATA (or IDE) drive rather than SATA. You should be able to pull out the drive and check to see if it has the pin connectors of a PATA disk drive. It's easy to do. Some Youtube videos can show you how if you need help ('how to replace the hard drive in the hp pavillion dv1000').
