Some others on the market have hollow rectangular space in the middle of the adapter. The one I like is a solid plastic 7mm to 9.5mm height spacer adapter. I bought a notebook drive height spacer adapter to see if that would work. One user claimed he could get the drive to work by using some material to act as a height spacer adapter to make the drive reach the hardware electronic contracts in the drive bay. I was also told that DELL supports up to a 250GB SSD and a 1TB HDD, assuming both drives have a form factor height of 9.5mm. A DELL Technical Support Representive said that these 7mm drives are not supported in the DELL Latitude E6420. The 7mm drive on the E6420 does not mesh with the hardware contacts inside the drive bay this information comes from another user posting on the DELL Community Forum. The drive seemed like it installed okay internally, but it actually did not. It turns out that the Firecuda drive has a height form factor of 7mm and not 9.5mm. Acronis only supports standard hard disk drives (HHDs) and pure solid state drives (SSDs). Acronis said that they do not support hybrid hard drives (HHD), hard drives having Nand flash memory to increase performance. And, I would also get a Boot error on startup like the Boot drive was not found. As well, the DELL BIOS would not recognize the drive in the BIOS setup. With the Firecuda drive installed internally, I faced errors saying that the Master Boot Record files are missing or corrupt. I told the Acronis technical support representative what I am facing with the Firecuda drive. I contacted Acronis about their cloning software. Of course, you may want to reformat the older drive anyway and use it as a backup drive or a drive for some other computer or purpose. Note: If this last past succeeds, you must be careful to remove the old drive from the USB bus before rebooting as the Master Boot Record, (MBR) will get destroyed on the original drive and no longer boot from that drive. I tried cloning again with the drives reversed, the Firecuda 2TB drive installed as an internal drive and the Toshiba 1TB drive held externally on the USB bus. I tried cloning with the Toshiba 1TB drive remaining as installed internally in the laptop to the Firecude 2TB drive held externally on the USB bus.

I cloned the Toshiba 5400RPM HDD to this Seagate Firecuda with Acronis, a fully licensed retail version, not the free Seagate version of Acronis, booting from Acronis on a USB boot drive. Seagate FireCuda Gaming HHD (HDD/SSHD) 5400RPM 2TB SATA 3.0 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 7 MM 2.5-Inch Notebooks / Laptops Internal Hard Drive (Model: ST2000LX001) I purchased a new Seagate Firecuda (HHD), 2TB, 5400RPM with 8GB of Nand Flash SSD cache storage.

But, as a software engineer, I could not handle the slower performance so I went shopping. One the other hand, the capacity of the drive was twice as large at 1TB versus 500GB. This drive still works fine, a low power consumption drive but also lower performance than typical 7200RPM drives. She purchased a replacement drive, a Toshiba (HDD), 1TB, 5400RPM, Model: MQ01ABD100. In 2016, my wife the drive failed when my wife was borrowing the laptop from me. Seagate Momentus Internal Notebook Hard Drive, 7200RPM 500GB SATA 2.0 3Gb/s NCQ 16MB Cache 9.5 MM 2.5 Inch, Model ST9500423AS In the fall of 2012, I was offered the chance to purchase this Dell laptop, and I seized that opportunity.
I bought this computer from my client's employer in late 2012 as the company I was consulting to switch computer vendors. I believe this drive came with the laptop as I do not recall buying the drive. The drive in the unit was an OEM drive, a Seagate Momentus (HDD), 500GB, 7200RPM, Model: ST9500423AS, DOM: 02/2012. Last year, in 2016, my hard drive failed for this computer.
