Minor Concern

TOSHIBA MK2035GSS 200GB 4200 RPM 8MB Cache SATA 1.5Gb/s 2.5" Notebook Hard Drive Bare Drive
TOSHIBA MK2035GSS 200GB 4200 RPM 8MB Cache SATA 1.5Gb/s 2.5" Notebook Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: Works great in Macbook, and has lots of space.

Cons: The drive in the macbook (80gb) had a tab to make removing the drive a breeze. I was disappointed that small feature was missing from Toshiba.

Overall Review: Price was best around.

Great with Tivo Series 3!

Seagate FreeAgent Pro 750GB USB 2.0 / eSATA 3.5" External Hard Drive ST307504FPA1E2-RK
Seagate FreeAgent Pro 750GB USB 2.0 / eSATA 3.5" External Hard Drive ST307504FPA1E2-RK

Pros: Works great as external drive with Tivo Series 3. Provides 131 hours of HD and something stupid, like 1250 hours SD.

Cons: Wish I could turn off the lights.

Overall Review: Disk seems hot, but it's worked great so far.

Versatile Is A Good Thing

Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD2500KS 250GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: It's not Mxxtor.

Cons: Nothing I am aware of.

Overall Review: Bought four of these for installation into a newly built RAID-5. Unfortunately, one of them was bad, but Newegg took care of that. Didn't realize that my RAID NAS required Sata-1 disks, but it was easy to put a jumper over pins 5-6 to back these down to Sata-1. Great, versatile, and at Newegg, you can't beat the price.
