Just to forewarn anyone buying this, it DOES NOT COME WITH A SATA CABLE. Something that would cost Western Digital pennies on the dollar and save consumers from the hassle that I went through to get this installed.

I'm sure the hard drive will work as stated but something as simple as a connectivity cable for your product would make sense. Come on Western Digital, get with it!

        This was listed when I searched for a Notebook HD and it is in fact a Destop HD. I'm sure it is a great product, just don't make the same mistake I made and order it for your notebook.

              Worst hard drive replacement I've ever seen. Needed to replace a drive that crashed suddenly and this was the only 1TB SATA internal drive in stock at Staples. Drive hangs up at times, poor performance and probably the loudest drive I've ever seen in 20 years! Staples claims that it's a 7200 RPM drive but Western Digital's website doesn't state anywhere what the actual drive speed is. Sure seems like it's only 5400 RPM instead of the 7200 RPM claimed.

              Staples in store and online inventory is terrible and usually full of older stock. If you want the latest components I'd suggest looking elsewhere.

              System Specs: HP Pavillion Elite Series Desktop, Intel i7 2.67 Processor, 24GB RAM, Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.

                        • A:

                          Your Dell Inspiron 560 has a total of 4 SATA connectors (hard drive connections), so this drive is fully compatible with your computer. However, there is only space inside your computer case for 2 hard drives in total. If you currently have only 1 existing hard drive, then you will have no problems fitting this drive as well.
                          However, If you already have 2 drives in your computer, then you will need to remove one of your existing hard drives before fitting this new drive.

                        • A:

                          Your computer must have a SATA drive connection and your motherboard must be able to accept a 7200 RPM hard drive in order for it to work in your computer. Most newer computers will be able to do this. The 7200RPM speed of the drive will make accessing data faster, however, often, slow computers aren't caused by the hard drive but are caused by too little memory.
