    Hello there! I've got an Dell Inspirion 15 3521

    Since my Hard Drive collapse, i need to change it! On the dell website, they sell this one (sorry link is in french, i'm french =d) Disque dur: 750Go 6cm (2.5'') Serial ATA (7200 tr/min) 512e Disque dur : Disques Dur Externe, Interne, Portable et Clé USB | Dell France

    But indeed, the price is way to high. So i try to seach for something similar, and i think this one can do it (french again!) : WD Black Mobile 500 Go (WD5000BPKX) : achat / vente Disque dur interne sur ldlc.com

    Can someone confirm that the Western Digital is right for that laptop? Thanks you very much!

    Thanks for the fast reply!
    Indeed I don't want to buy the one from Dell, so the Western Digital is also right? Or only the Travelstar you gave me?

    Both are right, what you want is a 2.5" hard drive, I just linked the Hitachi because it is the highest capacity 7200 RPM drive currently available.

    That is probably the best laptop internal drive out right now and the price there isn't bad.
