Yes. I have the same model of laptop and this drive work pretty well. Don't hesitate to buy it.

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

as someone has already mentioned, you would only know its compatibility once you have taken the broken dvd drive out of the dell inspiron laptop. in most cases, the dvd drive is secured by one screw on the flipside of the laptop. remove the screw and pull the dvd drive out of the laptop. once you've taken it out, check the model number and compare with this replacement drive. and most likely, it is compatible and would work just fine. in my case, the replacement face was not exactly the same as the broken unit. however, functionally it works just fine.

I'm sure it would work as I recall it uses a 2.5 sat drive. I ordered one for a 9600 dell, interesting thing it was I received a brand name product. good luck.

Well, using the WD 120GB External HD should give issues. as of now, it is working fine for me. Try to verify the USB2 Enhanced Host Controller should appear in the Device Manager. If you installed the Dell Notebook System Software at last, this might not work properly. Thanks

It works the same as if the drive was in the laptop, has to be one of the older Dell laptops. Plus, it requires a docking station that has the double plug connection on its side. Check Dell's website for Specs/compatability.

Checked Dell. The computer is discontinued. I takes a 2.5 inch SATA drive. I guess it depends on the health of your gear if it's worth it.

I've used this board on many systems and always it has worked well. But I havn't used it exactly on Dell Inspiron so I can't be sure 100%.

I'm using it in a Dell Inspiron E1500 series machine. Dell's website lists Western Digital SATA drives as replacement parts for 17 series. You should be able to verify this by looking at Dell's website for replacement parts.

I have no idea (no dell), but make sure you have a free sata port to plug it into.

I installed in a Dell Inspiron and had to use all cables - usb header, sata data, and molex power. I had to buy a 16 pin sata power to molex 4 pin adapter for my install. I had no molex power connects only sata.

Yes it is... based on the Dell part number you provided the drive is a SAMSUNG Spinpoint 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive. Make sure to use the external power supply that was included with the adapter and you should be in good shape.

I used the one I got on a dell with an ide busAs far as I know all the computers I have encountered with 2.5 inch hard drives (about 6or7) would have been able to use this drive

Yes, this will work. Western Digital Black drives are some of the most reliable drives that I've encountered. It's only 9.5mm thick and should physically fit in any laptop with sata interface. Also, just because your Dell came with a 320gb drive, you are not limited to this size. The 500 and 750gb version of this drive will also work (any 2.5" sata drive including solid state drives that aren't over 9.5mm thick) will work. If you are going to image (clone) your existing drive to this one, you'll need a docking station or other usb interface. There are plenty of youtube videos showing how to change and clone laptop drives.

Yes. The listed specifications include "16x DVDRW Drive" which is a DVD/CD Read/Write drive. My Dell Inspiron 660 has this drive and it works nicely.
