Spare drive for Inspiron 580 unit

Support assist just told me that my hard drive is in danger of imminent failure. I would like to replace just the drive rather than the whole machine, but WD do not have this particular model - WD1001FAES-75W7AO any longer. Can someone tell me what would be a suitable substitute? The current drive is 1 TB, but I really don't need anything that big. 500 GB would be more than enough.

Any help much appreciated.

Thank you

Ron

Thanks to Mighty_Miro_WD and shesageordie for help and advice.

Thought to go to a blue 500 GB but he bottled the end and bought a 1 TB black (i.e. replacement of the law). Sitting next to me now formatted. Later tonight will have a go at my old drive to the new cloning. Should be interesting!

Thanks again, guys.

    Is there a downside to the use of sata III? It is slower than sata II drives?

    There are zero and no., lll SATA will work at speed he's SATA.

    SATA I, is the first generation clocked at 1.5 Gbps SATA.

    SATA II interface, is a second generation running at 3.0 GB/s SATA.

    SATA III interface, a third generation of interface SATA 6.0 GB/s turns. The bandwidth rate, which is supported by the interface is up to 600 MB/s.

    SATA II specifications provide backward compatibility of function on SATA channels.

    SATA III Specifications provide backward compatibility to run on SATA I and SATA II ports.

    However, the maximum speed of the disk will be slower because of lower speed limits of the port.

  • Adding 2nd hard drive for Inspiron 530

    I have a Dell Inspiron 530 which has a Samsung 320 hard drive.  I would like to add a second hard drive to put photos, etc.  Green a Western Digital 2 TB 3.5 "SATA looks like a possibility.  However, images, like most of the internal drives I saw pictures, he has one open side showing the drive mechanism.  The Samsung already in the PC is covered.  The additional disc will not become covered with dust (my PC had a lot of cobwebs in it when I opened it to the top!)?  Any advice on which drive to choose and how to install it would also be appreciated.

    dellby

    All computers must be inside the frame, cleaned all the dust on a regular basis.

    I have two HD SATA and SSD installed in my Inspiron 530 mini tour and have never had a problem of "dust."

    Keep the air intakes located on the façade behind the clean HD of any accumulation of dust, helps to cool the hard drives.

    Instructions for the installation of a second hard drive physically in a 530 are here:

    FTP://FTP.Dell.com/manuals/all-products/esuprt_desktop/esuprt_inspiron_desktop/Inspiron-530_owner%27s%20manual_en-us.PDF

    Will need you a SATA data cable, there should be a spare power connector SATA inside the case and four 6-32 X 1/4, Phillips head screws to mount the drive.

    Connect the SATA data cable to the SATA connector on the motherboard.

    After you have installed the drive, enter the system setup and make sure the hard drive is "on" [We] and recognized.

    For windows to recognize the second hard drive, it must be partitioned and formatted.

    Go to control panel, administrative tools, computer management, storage, disk management, right click on the new drive, select format, then you can assign a drive letter.

    Hard drives Western Digital and Seagate are good, my preference is for Western Digital.

    Also check the length of the manufacturer's warranty, plus the best guarantee.

  • Seagate spare drive for T - 61

    I have a T - 61 bought in 2007 that is still running ok, it came with Vista and a small 7200 disk 100 MB, I want to replace the drive and install Win 7... I picked up a 500 MB SATA with a 16 MB 7200 RPM cache which said LAPTOP orange on the front, I got it in Best Buy... It should be fine, I hope.

    I don't know what's your question, but yes that should work correctly in the T61. Either way, you might want to buy an inexpensive USB box (under $ 10) for the old disk and use it for backups, etc.

  • internal hard drive for Inspiron 6000

    Someone has any suggestions where to find a replacement 60 DH GB or more compatible HD?

    The drive is parallel ATA - SATA not.  If you replace the drive with a larger than 120G, it MUST be parittioned and Windows must be installed UNDER the barrier of 120G.  If you install Windows on a partition that crosses or exceeds 120G barrier, you will one day put the chain on a disc read error and lose everything on the disc.
