Pros: Price.

Cons: Rumble factor in my thinkpad was medium for a 7200 rpm drive. It definitely runs on the warm side. Unfortunately, I started getting drive errors in syslog and eventually after about 3 more days I lost everything. All of my partitions (ext4, ntfs, fat32) were inaccessible.

Overall Review: Ended up going back to a 5400 rpm drive after two bad experiences with 7200 drives. Its possible these drives just cooked in my thinkpad with a docking station. Luckily newegg refunded my money and didn't charge any fees. thanks guys.
