Compatibility Dell w/ SSD

[florian]

Hi all,

I wanted to make sure that the first SSD I'm going to buy would fit with my computer, Dell Inspiron 7000 Series (7537). My computer just crashed after 1 year and a half due to the hard disk (sure of that): Dell Serial ATA 6Gb/s 5400 tr/min - 750 Go 2.5-Inch
I would like to buy my first SSD and plan to choose this one: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-2-5-Inch- ... sd+samsung

What do you think about it, do you think it would be compatible with my computer ?

Thank you for you kind help,

Florian

that should fit in no problems. but you can remove the back cover and have a look, usually very simple to do, and you can probably lookup the measurements of the Samsung to make sure.

Samsungs I have found to be a good choice for SSD

That's great, thank for your advice. I've ordered my Samsung SSD 250GB, I will let you know

+1. We also like Samsung SSD and will use nothing else in our systems

I only use OCZ Sandforce drives, unmatched performance, reliability and security

+1 Samsung, however I'd recommend a backup.. cloud solutions (Google Drive, SpiderOak, etc) are dirt cheap and simple to use (SpiderOak is slow as hell due to all the encryption). if you use your laptop as a desktop replacement get an external hard drive with a backup program like Acronis True Image Home. I think the new version also supports automatic incremental backups like Apple's Time Machine so you can restore back to a few minutes before the crash.
