Comments: Bought this drive to install in my Sony PCG-R505GL and replace the existing 30GB 4200RPM drive. Not only is this drive quieter, but it's a LOT faster! All I did was image the existing hard drive, put the image on this drive, then change the partition sizes to allocate space for the extra 30GB!
Cons: Ordered and paid for 2 Backordered indefinitely! My mistake, I should have just asked for a full return when I was informed it was backordered.
Overall Review: I'm no novice, I know the purchase mechanism is always more convenient than the return mechanisms. Therefore I can only rate the experience as average. Perhaps I'm being impatient, but no word in 4 days. Still working through the return process, time will tell!
Pros: Great drive. Replaced wife's dead 30GB drive in her Gateway 450ROG. Had no issues with this replacement. Seems to be snappier and quieter, as well.
Cons: None
Overall Review: Harder to find non-SATA drives for notebooks these days.
Great price for a great hard drive5/8/2007 8:42:07 PM
Pros: I have bought 8 of these drives from 40GB up to 100GB and all have been a excellent solution for the job requirements needed. I am a A+ IT consultant that uses the drives for laptop drive replacement and ex storage solutions.
Cons: none
Overall Review: You can't go wrong with this drive!
Pros: Worke great in my Sony laptop. All the other drives I used in it died in less than a year. This one is still going strong!
Cons: Laptop makes a grinding noise when starting up. I'm hoping its not a hard drive issue.
Overall Review: Didn't notice any speed increase from my 4200rpm drive, but didn't do any benchmarks.
Don't really use my laptop without it being plugged in, so can't speak on this drive being power hungry or not.
