I'm buying it for the exact same reason (Sony VGN-FW139E). I don't see why it wouldn't work. Will let you know if I get it and there's a problem (or not) and you haven't.

Reporting as promised! just did the swap, first time I've done this, no problems whatsoever. Fits the FW like a glove. Bought the acomdata tango external enclosure and used Acronis Migrate Easy 7.0 (free 15 day trial) to clone the hard drive. Now I have 243gb free space instead of 9gbs. The whole thing took 4 hours (because the 250gb HD was practically full). Very easy. So, go for it I guess. Oh, and the windows experience index jumped from 4.6 to 4.7 due to the higher HD transfer rate (which went from 5.1 to 5.9)also boosting the graphics performance from 4.6 to 4.7. Good luck.

Thanks R. Florentino i ordered it after your kind report and i can certify it works even better than the old seagate that is included with the fw series no sound at all, really fast and smooth thanks again for the report pal!

Sorry, don't know. I have a Sony Vaio and it works for that. Try checking with vendor.

I'm not quite sure. I had to ask one of my friends if it would work in my Sony Vaio.

I don't know about your particular laptop, but be aware there are two types of thin drives. There is the 12.7mm drive and the 9.5mm drive like this one. If yours uses the 9.5mm drive this should fit, although you may have to transfer some mounting hardware from the old drive to the new one. You will likely need to swap the front bezel from your old drive to the new one so that it looks "right". Also, be aware that even though this drive can physically play and record Blu-Ray disks, it requires additional software to utilize it. I use Cyberlink Media Suite, but there are other options available. If I'm telling you things your already know, I apologize, but many people aren't aware, and I don't know your level of understanding. I installed mine in a Sony VAIO laptop and it works very well.

Thanks for the reply. I have already purchased and am using the drive with no problem. I purchased after reading on Newegg that someone had been using it with an Acer Aspire One with no problems. Tahnks again for taking the time to reply.

Yes, I believe I had a Sony Vaio laptop at one time. I've had two now. They work very good.

I took a look at your Vaio specs and it says you have Sata drive installed, so this Crucial will fit. You will need a method to move all your data and operation system from the old drive to the new one. I picked up this on Amazon: Easy Laptop Install Kit for 2.5-inch SSD, made by Crucial. It worked like a charm. I did have to "reauthorize" my version of Windows, but that was easy with a 800 number that windows provided when I booted up the new drive. Pretty easy.

Hi, it is easy to check whether it will work or not. check the pin connector in product picture and find out whether it will mate with your Hard drive. I googled your description and looks like it will mate, just in case verify it with pin connector as i told above.

New 1.06 FW was just released this morning... with support for 1.5TB drives.I'd watch for problem reports on D-Link's forum for a little while before trusting it with important data, just in case there is a bug.

Thanks, I got this hard drive about a month ago and it has been working perfectly. I used the free trial of Acronis True Image 2010 to clone the drive. Now I have this drive and my old 320GB 54K for a backup drive!

I need to swap the print circuit board, since PC cannot detect this drive any more. I have tons of data on this drive that needs retrieval. So I placed another order again. Hope I will get exact model as I bought in Nov, 2010. The model I received last time is also WD20EARS-00MVWB0. Can someone report what's their model number now, if they bought it recently? Thank you. I will report mine once I get it on Monday.

This is a tricky one as ive never heard of that particular hard drive, but if its a 500gb drive, it should use one of the three connection types on this reader.. that being said if the hard drive isn't working, I cant guarantee this will make it work. Ive got a lot of hard drives to read using this though, so you SHOULD be good to go

Yes I use the e1659 all the time with an old Sony VAIO that has only USB 2.0 ports and it works great. No problem with response or power.

Yes, if the SSD, or hard disk drive, in your Vaio is a 1.8" SATA form/size factor, this will work perfectly to adapt the mSATA to its drive bay and connection. Hope this helps...if not, let me know and I'll try and explain further...

Don't know enough to answer your questions about all drives in the world. But It worked like a champ on my old Western Digital 10 GB IDE drive. Can't figure why it wouldn't work on most other working IDE drives. Had no occasion to try the SATA cable yet. Can only assume it would work similarly. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
