Dell inspiron 1525 2008 model replacement hard disk
Hi,
The hard disk of my dell inspiron 1525 has been malfunctioning and I am looking for a replacement disk. While searching for the hard disk I could find there are 2 types of 2.5 inch SATA hard disk available
1, height 9mm
2. height 7.5 mm
Can anyone confirm which one will fit my laptop ?
Thanks,
Vaibhav

Older models have the 9 mm drives. Get a Crucial BX200 240 GB SSD they will be 7.5 mm but they will include a spacer so the SSD fits. The SSD will make your system noticeably snappier:

If you only have a Vista/XP license for this machine I advise taking the unofficial 10130 upgrade path:

If you have a Windows 7 or 8 key then you may use the key to clean install Windows 10 TH2 directly:

If you haven't tried it yet, you should take a look here. It is Dell's spare parts website, you input the service tag of the notebook and it should find suitable drives. The drives will be 9.5 mm in size.
