TOSHIBA DT01ACA200 2TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: Makes a good paperweight or doorstop.

Cons: Clicking noise coming from the drive does not follow a regular pattern, preventing its use as a metronome. Also SMART showed a failure right from the box, and it would not format.

Overall Review: SMART showed a failure right from the start, was any QC done?

Pass this one, Fails right after warrenty expires.

Tom Tom One 130 3.5"GPS Navigation with Spoken instruction
Tom Tom One 130 3.5"GPS Navigation with Spoken instruction

Pros: Worked for 1 year for a half dozen trips

Cons: no free map updates, Failed while i was in the middle of nowhere when used less than a dozen times with a flashing red X 2 weeks after the warranty expired. Unhelpful tech support if you can even get through to them. $10 if you want updated maps. Told me to turn onto a bike path, directions sometimes take you on ridiculous detours.

Overall Review: Pass this one and get a cell phone with navigation or a model that is more reliable and has free map updates.
