Well I finally found the time to copy the old drive and get this new drive installed. It Runs much cooler which means the fan runs much quieter than it did with the original! I am very pleased with the performance so far. This lap top computer is used at least ten to twelve hours a day seven days a week and there have been no issues to date. I did have to fabricate a thin plastic cover from an external drive housing for the top and bottom of the drive to allow installation in the drive bay where the solid state drive had been. But now I have 500GB instead of 128 GB. This was installed in a Dell Latitude E6400XFR The same one our boys are using in the desert theaters around the globe.

showing blue screen of death different error codes, hard drive not recognized and its only a couple days after the return period with very little usage. tried to repair through diagnostics, tried to reboot using bootable drive no problems till yesterday started working but today will not boot at all

I had purchased this disk as a replacement drive in lieu of the stock 80GB model that had burnt out after so many years of use. The Latitude series laptops (D620 in my case) were engineered to be modular so the actual process of replacing the old unit was a snap. Disconnect the caddy from the drive and reattach the new one - plug it in.I will assume that the "brand" description of the item here on Amazon simply means that you may receive one of the many numerous brand name disks the seller has available. I received the Seagate 500GB model - which is always an excellent alternative to a generic. No complaints so far.

So easy to use! Very satisfied! Very fast too!

I had originally ordered this drive to give some extra life to my Dell Latitude D520, since I can't afford to save up much money for a new laptop. I do have to say, this drive is perfect, whether you are upgrading storage on a laptop or desktop. This drive came in fast, was easy to format and use from the ground up (as expected from a WD drive; the drive I received).The price is a tad steep compared to desktop storage, but this drive was totally worth every penny.

Died within a few months of purchase, just buy the regular Seagate one and save yourself trouble.

I have a Dell Latitude E5400 that had a 160GB factory drive. After two years of school, heavy use for photos and videos, and dozens of installed applications, the original drive was 90% full. Even after regularly archiving large file content to external drives I could never quite stay ahead of the curve! After purchasing this drive I had to let it sit for a while to keep up with school. I then discovered that the very nice conversion kit that I bought with it had software that would not mirror the old drive to the new due to sector size difference issues between the two drives. I ultimately had to take everything to the school electronics lab, "air chassis" the two drives on a desktop platform and mirror the old drive to the new. Once complete, the new drive was installed in less than ten minutes and runs like a hose. Long story short, I am very pleased with the new drive, and the new lease on life of my workhorse notebook computer. 300+MB of free space provides me with plenty of room to work while I complete my schooling, and I couldn't be happier.

Was advertised as Western Digital HD but is actually Hatachi (which is okay). Replaced my old 120GB HD drive in my Dell Latitude D830 with the 500GB, as I was running out of space. Had some difficultly cloning the new drive using EZ Upgrade Kit (that I also purchased from Amazon -- not the new HD's problem), but finally got it to work once I got new software patch from Apricorn. Overall, drive seems to work okay, but response time and start-up seems to be slower than my old drive even-though both are 5200 RPM.
