Hardware

Hello...

Fit: This hard disk drive (HDD) is the thinnest size (9.5mm), so it should fit. Other standard sizes are 12mm and 19mm.

Work: The physical and electrical interface to a notebook HDD is standard just like there is a standard for desktop HDDs. There is no problem mixing vendors. So, it will work.

But: Some notebook vendors mount the HDDs in a little bracket commonly called a "caddy". The bracket then is physically attached to the notebook. If your Dell C600 does this, you will either need to obtain another caddy or the new HDD, or reuse the old one. Typically, notebook vendors don't sell caddy's by themselves as they want you to buy the HDD from them at 2x market price. I have found/bought 3rd party caddy's at dirtcheapdrives.com

Does your laptop use a caddy?

Good luck!
