TOSHIBA HDD2193 (MK4026GAX) 40GB 5400 RPM 16MB Cache IDE Ultra ATA100 / ATA-6 2.5" Notebook Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: easy install, compatible with my toshiba m35

Cons: noisy not noticeablly faster than 4200rpm 8mb

Overall Review: installed it easy. the oem harddrive in my toshiba m35 was an hitachi 40gb 4200rpm. this new one is not noticeably faster. i noticed a few seconds off the start of the computer but in normal processes(for me internet, aim, windows media, bt client, etc) there was no boost in any performance. if any it was insignificant. not worth the price in upgrade, especially at price of the noise. it's not noisy in a leaf blower fan way. if you are playing a movie or a music you wouldnt even hear it but if you are just using it with no audio playing in a quiet room it is quite noisy, noisier than the cheapo oem harddrive that was included originally.
