BIG ATA drives are getting harder to find so when I found this 320mb 'Bad Boy', I was pleasantly surprised. I upgraded from a 160mb drive, which was always banging on FULL and I could not be happier with my purchase. Just as advertised - it is fast, quiet, & cool, so the extra space I was looking for is no longer an issue for me. This drive is an awesome value and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for additional 2.5" ATA digital real estate.

Nothing bad to say about this drive. It worked great when it was installed. Haven't had a problem. I'd recommend this hard drive

After getting a Toshiba Satellite P35 for free. I went about fixing it's known issues. Then I tackled the speed with more RAM and a bigger faster HD. The original HD was 100GB 4200RPM. By going to a 250GB 5400RPM I actually significantly increase the R/W speeds of the laptop. The increased rotation rate is nice but hardly the cause for the biggest gain. Because each HD had the same number of platters the distance to search for a file on the new HD is about 2.5 times less distance than the original. That, the 8MB, and the increased RPM's make this HD over 2X's faster than the old one. =) Making old slow computers run fast again... Just so long as you stay away from Vista that is. Actually if you want to see some real speed load Umbuntu and it's virus free to boot. I do all my web surfing and banking on a locked down Umbuntu machine and I have never felt safer.
Fun Fact: Here is our Government at work. Windows 7 comes on Oct 22 09 and the army has just decided to convert everything to Vista - which has major problems. This of course means the army will purchasing new computers to run the bloated OS. Of course their is no guarantee that Windows 7 will not have issues but the 2nd OS in a series for MS is usualy better.
Windows 95 Sucks
Windows 98 OK
Windows ME Sucks
Windows XP OK
Windows Vista Sucks
Windows 7 ?
Save yourself the headache and learn about Umbuntu.

PROs:
1. Much quieter than my OEM Hitachi HDD, which was constantly clicking.
2. Much faster...wow!
3. Much cooler-running! My battery now runs longer, and the laptop itself doesn't get so hot anymore.
4. Four times the storage as the OEM drive.
Most dramatic improvement I've ever made to this laptop, as good if not better than going from 2 x 256MB RAM to 1 x 256MB + 1 x 1GB! My nearly 5 year old Toshiba Tecra S1 now boots up and runs as quickly as my friend's one year old new dual-core laptop!
CON: [...] would buy me a much bigger and even faster (7200rpm not 5400rpm) SATA drive, sigh...but it's all about supply and demand isn't it? Not too many laptops around with this ATA-6 (PATA) drive interface anymore.
Installation was painless...less than 10 minutes. Reloading and updating Windows XP took about 3 hours, and doing the same with all my other software and drivers took an additional 3 hours. But worth it, because I wanted to start all over from a totally clean drive, that's why I didn't get one of those Apricorn HDD-mirroring kits.

I'm such a moron sometimes, I spent nearly an entire day cloning my Sony Vaio VGN-TZ270n/b hard drive, then...when I opened the Vaio to find it's a 1.8" SATA...my heart just sank.
Alas, I have no comments about this drive's performance since I was forced to return it. Thankfully, the Amazon.com folks are EZ returns...that's why I try to order from Amazon as often as possible.
