Pros: This drive is great. It is very quiet in my averatec AV7115-EH1 laptop. I had no problems installing windows XP. The drive is easily formated without proprietary setup software. I was skeptical at first because I didn't know Samsung made harddrives, but now I am very happy with my purchase.

Cons: I really can't think of anything bad about this drive.

Overall Review: The drive was very securely packaged when I recieved it.
