Is the SATA cable for the Precision 5520 the same as the 5510?
Need the SATA cable to add a 2.5" HDD to a 5520.
Is the SATA cable part for the Precision 5510 the same as the SATA cable part for the 5520?
They look almost exactly the same (from pictures) but If someone could confirm, I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Bob

Hi Robert-
Thanks for the response. I looked at the thread and did not see any specific reference to the 5520, only the 5510... hence my question.
So on a bet, I spent $20 andI ordered the 5510 part from Amazon here:
www.amazon.com/.../ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00
I installed it in my 5520 with a 750GB Hybrid HDD and it seems to work fine.
So for the "archive", yes the 5510 part *works* but without Dell confirmation, I have no idea if it's supported (which doesn't necessarily matter to me).... but it does *work* in the 5520 (and please note, supported and working are often two different things).
HTH someone,
Bob
