Toshiba MK8025GAS 80GB ATA/100 Internal Hard Drive: Can anyone tell me if this drive is compatible with Dell notebooks?

probably yes, as most major manufacturers use standard 2.5 inch hard drives, they then add a proprietary adapter and connector that you will have to remove from the existing drive i do not own a dell notebook so i cannot verify this as 100% correct

Nope. Your dell takes older interface, IDE drives. Biggest out there that is readily available is 320GB, amazon model# B000RO3BPA. Western Digital 320 GB Caviar Blue 100 Mb/s 7200 RPM 8 MB Cache Bulk/OEM Desktop Hard Drive - WD3200AAJB

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.

It should work on your Dell according to the info on the Crucial site. They suggest the 128GB as their choicefor your computer, but you can use all of them if you want a larger drive. You should go to the Crucial site and you will find all kinds of info there and if you have any questions you can call them.

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

I put it in a really old Dell 4600, with a IDE adapter. I had no problems what so ever. All you need to do is make sure you have lots of memory, and a fast processor, to handle the hard drive. I now use my drive as a secondary drive in my new computer.. You can get adapter from Amazon if you need one. If it is slow just upgrade you memory, that will help a lot.

This is an IDE drive, you may need a SATA drive. The model docs do not say what type of connector it has. The hard drive is SATA so I would say you would need the same. Open the laptop and compare connectors to be sure.

Dell XPS 410 is Sata 2, it is backwards compatible. It will be a massive speed upgrade over platter drives however, it will not be as fast as it could be.

It is an IDE device. With most dells you will need to put a adapter on the pins. They are for sale here on Amazon or E Bay where they are only about $2 or so and shipped quickly. Look at the drive and see if you have the multi pin interface or a flat interface.Check the dell documentation with any questions on the interface.You of course will need to format the drive before it shows on your system.You should have no problems beyond those listed above. I am relatively impressed how good it seems to work for me so far. Good Luck

I am not sure about your dell because I used mine for a mac. These hard drives are universal but you might want to call Best Buy or Dell to make sure it will fit. Also I had a friend do a data transfer from one hard drive to another. I am not sure where to send you for that one but I would recomend just save all the stuff you need on to an exteranal drive. Then once one you replace the hard drive, you might have to redownload the programs you need. The thing to remember is the hard drive is blank so you might need to set up a data transfer. I tried to do it myself and my computer was blank. So you might want to look around and ask some Tech guys how to do this. Thanks. GOod luck

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.

Not familiar w/ that notebook per se, but, assuming it already has a primary HDD, then must look to see if there's a spot for a secondary. You might also need mounting hardware: screws to attach the drive to some frame/bracket/"carrier" that then mounts the ensmble to the laptop. At least this is what I needed to add this drive as secondary to my Dell Latitude 3300 - only had a 60GB mSata HDD as original equip't. As for the drive itself, a terrific choice (whether as primary or secondary): quiet, fast, and well built (5 yr warranty!). Did I say fast? Hope this helps.

Unfortunately no it is not. It was not anything to do with the memory that the toshiba died. I still have the memory put aside in case I find another laptop that it will work in.

I would contact Dell directly or their online forum with this question. Remember you will be giving up 750 gigabytes of storage. Compare your performance with reviews of the Samsung from the Internet to be sure this drive will accomplish your intention. I use the free version of Sandra Lite to measure my performance... http://www.sisoftware.net/?d=&f;=downandbuy&l;=en&a;=
