“will it work in a Dell studio XPS 8100? My Dell Studio XPS 8100 came with two Barracuda 7200.11 9JV138-034 1.5 TB hard drives set up in a RAID config. When one of the drives went bad I decided to install to Seagate 2.0 TB drives PN 9JB1N3-576 drives. I have not been able to completely install my windows 7 operating system with the disk that came with the computer. Do you have any advice?”

Yes it will work. You will only get 1.5 TB from it though in your RAID 1 configuration. You might be able to setup the other 500GB as an additional logical drive but I'd advise against that if running RAID 1 - you might slow down your read/write access for the Mirror - ie. just deal with the loss of the 500GB and see if that 1.5TB drive doesn't fail next and then get a 2TB to replace it and use a program like Symantec Ghost to resize your Drive to 2 TB if/when you replace that 1.5 TB with a 2TB.
