Increasingly, users are relying on their laptops as a primary computer, and needing more storage space, particularly for their graphic, music, or video files. The Samsung HM100JC SpinPoint M Series 100 MB notebook hard drive brings you desktop-like storage space for your portable “brain.” With an onboard error correction system to detect and correct memory errors, and a drive head technology that keeps the writer heads from dropping the disk when the motor is stopped, you’re assured of many hours of efficient use.
In addition, Samsung’s SilentSeek system makes one of the quietest drives around, even during maximum demand, even with a 12ms seek time and a latency of only 5.6ms. An 8MB cache ensures faster times and saves load on the disk itself. Samsung’s 3 year warranty gives you the security of knowing that you’ll have your data comfortably available wherever you go.

Pros: Replaced my iBook G4 1.33GHz harddrive with this one. It's awsome. Runs Cool. About the same temps as the previous 4200RPM hardrive Very Fast. Cut OS X loading time by 7 seconds. Very Quiet. Have to litterally have your ear against it to hear the seeking of the heads.
Cons: None so far.
Overall Review: Be sure you know what you're doing if you want to upgrade your iBook G4. I had to take the whole computer apart to get to the harddrive. Apple didn't design it for upgradability. There are also tons of fragile connectors that will break easily on the logicboard.
