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!

    Comments about Western Digital WD Caviar Green 1TB SATA 3.0 (3 Gb/s) - Internal Hard Drive (WDBAAY0010HNC):

    I always depend on Western Digital drives:they always function I've never had more than one drive in 15 years go bad.I have several drives in excess of 5 years old and have never had a failure compared to other brands they always work. I have 5 external Western Digital drives and 7 internal drive. I have 17 terabyte videos music and photos and trust it all to the Western Digital. Although of course I back everything up on another drive for safety. I also back everything up on cloud storage for an added protection. But I have never lost anything using Western Digital drives. I've never had any trouble with them being slow either. All my computers have their main drive replaced with Western Digital as soon as I get them out of the box. I have had many issues with other brands of drives.

        I have always enjoyed the convenience of browsing for items online, yet having the ability to walk into a "brick and mortar" building to actually put my hands on something before buying it. Staples gives me that flexibility, all with the added benefit of superb customer service and decent prices. I have been purchasing all of my personal and business supplies, as well as, an HP Officejet 6310 printer which continues to serve me well. Despite all the advertisements from other supply stores, I will continue to shop at Staples and enjoy the benefits of both worlds. Kudos and appreciation to the Morehead City, NC store!

            Our old drive died unpleasantly. The Staples EasyTech technician spent time with me, describing what I needed to do to install the new drive and copy the still-intact data files. After a quick install, I was able to copy the data files from the bad drive to the WD 1TB drive. It made me smile.

            After that, came the fun of reinstalling the programs.

                Will this hard drive work in my Dell Inspiron 560?

                • 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.

                Asked on 2/13/2012 by Anonymous

                1 answer

                • 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.

                  After speaking with Western Digital I found they do not maintain compatibility lists for their internal drives. Because your inquiry is specific in nature I believe this may be a question that Dell will have to research further, please feel free to contact the Dell at 1-800-624-9897.
