Wee Yin,
The hard drive should work in the Inspiron 1545.
The Inspiron™ 1545 system uses Serial-ATA (SATA) hard drives. Data transfer rates of 150 MB per second offer a substantial speed increase over older PATA drives.
The Inspiron™ 1545 is offered with a configuration of 5400 rpm drives. The hard drive capacities are as follows:
80 GB 5400 RPM
160 GB 5400 RPM
250 GB 5400 rpm
320GB 5400 rpm
500GB 5400 rpm

Wee Yin,
It should work on the computer, eventhough, Dell has only tested the 500 gb. You may also want to update the computers bios to the latest if you havent done so.

Will the 1TB drive be compatible too?

I put an SSD in mine but it was only 250 GBs.
In many cases, what might work would depend on the Bios, so you might check if there are any updates.
