Most notebook optical drives will be interchangeable, but the bezels that go on the front of the drawer are ALL different. So, your dell drive "might" fit into the Sony, but the bezel will likely not fit. You can remove the bezel and use the drive without it, or there's a chance the bezel might "sorta" fit (if not perfectly). If both devices are less than 4 or 5 years old the drive should fit into the Sony and work. At least that's what I "think", but I can't guarantee it.
