My laptop uses 3.5" drives.** A: Yes this should work on your laptop if you have a 3.5'' drive. **Q: Can i use this hard drive in a dell gx620 usff ultra mini desktop since it a 3.5 sata?** A: yes **Q: Will This Work on the dell optiplex 390 i3?** A: Yes it will. BTW there are different size cases for that model. While this drive will work if you want a speed boost a mid priced SSD to run the OS with would help, What I did was install an SSD under the regular H.D. to load only the O.S. on. The blue H.D. caddy has tabs under it to do this. The regular H.D. I use for bulk storage. It will boot up faster and run things faster set up this way. **Q: will the wd blue 500gb desktop hard disk drive - 7200 rpm class sata 6gb/s 32mb cache 3.5 inch - fits a vostro 3558? is there a ways also to know? ty** A: Your laptop uses a 2.5" drive, this is a 3.5" drive. You'll need to find a 2.5" drive. A 2.5" Sata SSD (Solid State Drive) will speed things up noticeably. If you want faster, that's the way to go. ## Frequently Bought Together - WD Blue 500GB Desktop Hard Disk Drive - 7200 RPM Class SATA 6Gb/s 32MB Cache 3.5 Inch - WD5000AZLX - StarTech.com IDE to SATA Hard Drive or Optical Drive Adapter Converter, 40-Pin PATA to 2.5" SATA HDD / SSD / ODD Converter, TAA - Western Digital Blue WD5000AZLX 500GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/26976584-wd-blue-500gb-desktop-hard-disk-drive-7200-rpm-class](https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/26976584-wd-blue-500gb-desktop-hard-disk-drive-7200-rpm-class) --- *Product available on Desertcart Panama* *Store origin: PA* *Last updated: 2026-09-17*
