Most Favorable Review

Works perfectly in the Playstation 3 console

Western Digital Scorpio Blue WD3200BEVT 320GB 5400 RPM 8MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 2.5" Internal Notebook Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: Large and quiet, easy to install, full compatibility/no issues when upgrading from original 60GB launch PS3 unit (w/ current firmware 2.10)

Cons: None at the moment specifically regarding the drive; trying to figure out which external 2.5 enclosure would be fully compatible with this size so I can pick up another one!

Overall Review: Waited for this drive to finally replace the original 60GB Seagate which was maxed out. Used the "backup utility" seamlessly, and after installation and formatting, the PS3 shows 263GB/298GB of usable space. I then alloted 10GB and installed a fresh build of Yellow Dog Linux (YDL 5.0.2); no problems. Returned to GameOS and restored my backed-up 50GB of data, and everything's back to the way it was 100% but with an extra 200GB of free space left! Drive appears to be even quieter than the previous one (which was already quiet), and seek/response times in the menus appear quicker. Both could be due to defragmentation from restoring, but overall very satisfied. A good deal, provides an extra 60GB+ of usable free space from the 250GB model, for only a marginal price. Highly Recommended!

works perfectly in Lenovo x100e

HyperX 4GB (2 x 2GB) 200-Pin DDR2 SO-DIMM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Laptop Memory Model KHX6400S2ULK2/4G
HyperX 4GB (2 x 2GB) 200-Pin DDR2 SO-DIMM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Laptop Memory Model KHX6400S2ULK2/4G

Pros: Installed in a brand new Lenovo Thinkpad x100e with absolutely no problems, BIOS and Windows recognized it immediately. Performance dramatically improved from the stock 667 ram that came with the system - increased the Windows Experience Index score for Memory(RAM) from 3.9 to 5.5!

Cons: None at the moment; you could say price, but only for ~15 dollars more than other memory, not a high premium for the speed increase

Overall Review: It was literally plug and play; I was wary from the previous reviews, but am relieved I experienced no problems with the x100e. Speed increase was noticeable (smooth 1080p playback), but could also be attributed to the increase of RAM from 2 to 4GB. Confirmed the RAM timings with CPU-Z and ran Windows Memory Diagnostic, passed all tests. Can't guarantee it, but other AMD Neo notebooks/netbooks with the AMD M780G or similar chipset should be compatible with this ram (Toshiba 115, Acer Ferrari, Aspire, etc). If it works, then highly recommended!
