SAMSUNG Spinpoint M Series HM120JC 120GB 5400 RPM 8MB Cache IDE Ultra ATA100 / ATA-6 2.5" Notebook Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: I replaced my broken hard drive in my Powerbook G4 12-inch. The extra storage space, faster speed, and larger buffer are great. My computer works really well now. I totally recommend this drive.

Cons: The drive might occasionally be a little bit louder than my original drive, but it isn't loud and it runs like a dream.

Pros: Large cache really improves disk transfers. Very quiet - hard to tell when the drive is really running.

Cons: Not a real con, per se, but it's a little tricky to get SMART data from the drive in a USB enclosure. My last 2.5" drive, a Fujitsu unit, reported SMART data to Windows normally.

Overall Review: I purchased this drive to use a (cheap) 2.5" USB 2.0 portable enclosure. My first drive was DOA, but I immediately used NewEgg's RMA process to get a replacement drive shipped. The entire affair was turned around within a week - not to shabby for not placing a single phone call!

Pros: My 30GB hard drive in my old Thinkpad was dieing, so I needed a new one. I also debated getting a 7200rpm vs. a 5400rpm drive. My Thinkpad drive was 4200rpm and I was concerned about heat, so I went for this 5400rpm Samsung. It is an awesome drive, I noticed faster boot times and can hardly hear it. Doesn't produce a lot of heat too.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I've had this drive for 3 months so far, the only odd thing I've found is sometimes it makes a squeaking type noise when its really busy -- or maybe its just me and I'm not used to the sound since having my old noisy Hitachi drive.

Pros: Great replacement drive for my Creative Zen Xtra. I now have double the capacity of any shipping creative mp3 player:-D formatted @ 114GB

Cons: A little warm in my mp3 player, but SOOOOOO worth the extra storage

Overall Review: can't go wrong with samsung :-)

Pros: This hard disk is a very nice product, it is very quiet, seems to run cool, and accomplishes high transfer rates. Handles shock of laptop life very well.

Cons: None.

Pros: Well, the price was right when I got it! It was easy to install into my Powerbook, and worked great right away. I expanded my capacity by 600%! Runs fairly quiet, and is plenty fast enough for anything I need to do.

Cons: Can't think of any.

Pros: Replaced a 30GB 4200rpm Hitachi that came stock with the Inspiron 1200 and the performance level almost doubled. (I also added 512MB mem) Cannot hear the drive at all and runs very cool. Bought this because it was basically the best price per GB for notebook drives at the time of purchase.

Cons: Absolutely none.

Overall Review: Samsung is continually increasing their product line and quality of products. As long as they keep this up, I will buy their products.

Pros: It's much quieter than the 40G that it replaced. Mounting bracket and pin header fit perfectly from the old drive.

Cons: Wrong color.

Overall Review: NewEgg's warehouse is one state over, so shipping is always one day!
