Not a raptor but a very good drive
Pros: Replaced a Toshhiba 100g 4200rpm that came in a Acer 4654lmi about a month old.The new drive is almost twice as fast to open programs and hd tack 3.0.3.0 backs that up as follows. Hitachi / Toshiba random access 15.3 19.1 average read 38mb 23mb burst speed 91 49
Cons: very very slight click noise from drive that you can hear only if lap top is sitting on a hard surface/has to be almost dead silent to hear-NOT AN ISSUE
Overall Review: This drive was worth the money and a nice upgrade to a pretty decent laptop thats only 1 month old.Should have had this in it to begin with. New Egg should give those that spend thousands(like me)on there site coupons AND dump United Parcel Snails and go back to Fed X. NEW EGG GETS ALL OF MY BUSINESS!!!
DEAD PIXELS
Pros: Nice size/nice color
Cons: purchased three and 2 of the 3 had two dead pixels
Good for the price
Pros: Works well,screen is good,sound better than a more expensive unit. Cheap and good value for the money
Cons: No battery management software except speedstep in system bios, Battery life would be much better than 1.5 hours if HP provided this software.
Overall Review: After going through 10 minutes of set up I reformatted and installed a fresh operating system updated drivers and disabled Speedstep in bios and it runs pretty good
GOOD VALUE
Pros: Works well and I only know the basic functions. Takes very nice pics
Cons: To expensive to drop
Worth the money
Pros: Nothing to get excited about but works fine,easy install,no problems,quiet,faster than the old drive.Read speed tested with HD tach and about 33% improvement over oe 4 yr old drive
Cons: NONE
Overall Review: Cheap ATA133/Brand name New Egg is always ON TIME with good prices. They have had all of my business for 4 yrs
