Wow, how old is you computer? Yes, EIDE is backward compatible with IDE but it probably won't run as fast on your old computer as it would on a newer model.

Yes and you will have to set the pins with a jumper for recognition of a second drive and plug it into the IDE cable as the second, you might have to unplug something. then copy the drive *.* and you've duplicated it.

If it's in a desktop PC then you should have a 3.5 inch form factor drive. If that is the case this will work. This is a 3.5 form factor IDE drive.

Mine has a 500 Gig hard drive. I also have an external usb hard drive (500 gig.) I don't know about upgrading the internal drive.

I've used this drive to replace a failed Hard Disk Drive in my Laptop. This is a 2.5" laptop. If you have a regular laptop this drive will fit. Of course you will need to format the disk to make it usable.

Yes. Should be fine as long as you allow for at least 8GB of free disk space.

Since I used a 1TB SATA drive, there is no reason the 250 GB drive should not work. Beware, your experience may be different than mine.

You probably need an SATA external case. If your drive is not IDE, then this one will not connect. If your drive is over 500GB then this will also not work. I used it for an old 80GB IDE drive, and it worked perfectly.

Any new hard drive should work just fine. Look at pcpartpicker.com for a good resource to piece together compatible parts. Its an excellent site that allows you to choose your parts one by one, only showing other compatible parts.

The drive can only be formatted in FAT32, so the size of the file determines if it can be stored on the drive. If you are looking at files over 4Gb, it wont work.

I have not tied that specific drive but used Western Digital 500 gb, Acomdata 120 gb and some USB thumb drives. Everything worked fine. I think as long as the hard drive can be connected via USB 2.0 it should work.

You need to determine the "specs" on the current HD in your Mac.....obviously the one critical element is that your current HD is 2.5 Inch size versus 3.5 Inch that is used in most desktops....I am not familiar with Macs since this Western Digital went into a Compaq running Win7. The drive is superb and the price on Amazon the most competitive around. Hope this helps.

Nope. Your dell takes older interface, IDE drives. Biggest out there that is readily available is 320GB, amazon model# B000RO3BPA. Western Digital 320 GB Caviar Blue 100 Mb/s 7200 RPM 8 MB Cache Bulk/OEM Desktop Hard Drive - WD3200AAJB

Honestly, I'm not familiar with that type of drive. If I'm reading your description right, your drive is an 80gb SATA drive. The case is made to work with eithera SATA or IDE drive. As long as it is a 3.5 inch drive and matches that, you're good. If it's a 2.5 inch drive, you'll need a different case.

Yes this drive would function just fine with that model, though the OS will have to be re-installed.

Sorry, I run Windows, don't do "I" products, the actual available storage is slightly less than 500GB's, so if you need 500 I'd go bigger, there is a 750 & a 1TB on Amazon

Hi Jim, not think you have any problems, disk size and connectors are equal, it should work perfectly.

More than likely it will, but make sure you're current hard drive is 5400 ... I made the mistake & purchased the wrong speed drive. Fits perfectly but doesn't work.

Yes, you have a SATA controller so this drive will work. You should be able to install an even larger drive if you want as well.
