Hello,

I have a DELL E6520, and the Hard disk failed so I cannot install windows on it anymore.

I would like to replace it, but I am afraid to get a wrong one!

My HDD's specifications are the following: HARD DRIVE..., 500GB, S2, 7.2K, P11, SGT-HOLL


I would like to know what S2 and P11 mean here?
if S2 means SATA II does that mean that I cannot use a SATA hard drive?
Can I still buy a hard drive from any firm other than Seagate?
I still have a next business day warranty valid, does that mean I can get the replacement part for my Hard drive for free?



Thank you!

I believe its sata II and that means it uses SATA. I would suggest getting a SSD(solid state drive) there fast as hell and you wont be disapointed.

As for the warranty yes if its still under warranty you can goto the manufacturers website and ask for another one.
