high capacity SATA 2.5" driveStrengths: large capacity, PMR technology Weakness: not much faster than previous generation I bought this drive to replace a 60GB Fujitsu drive (5400rpm) that came with my Dell E1705. Unlike a previous reviewer who also had an E1705, my laptop recognized the drive properly as 160GB (actually 149GB due to different conversion... 1000MB/GB vs. 1024MB/GB) without need to run any additional software or configuration. Ghost was able to copy my old drive's content onto this Hitachi without...

Big ProblemStrengths: Capacity Weakness: Reliability I have had ths drive four months and it has failed twice. The symptoms are that the immediately after the POST the computer hangs up with a black screen with a blinking cursor in the upper left corner. I am told that this is due to a faulty Master Boot Record, but it can't be fixed by FIXMBR. The fix requires reformating the disk. Given the time it takes to move 100+ GB around this gets old fast....

Great laptop hard driveStrengths: superior performance and low power consumption Weakness: none Bought this drive for my MacBook 13". I swapped my 60GB 8mb cache 5400rpm drive for this one. I've been using for less than a day and have noticed a definite difference in the following: 1) slightly faster time opening documents 2) significantly faster start-up time I have not had enough time to evaluate any change in power consumption as yet, if any. Other observations: 1) I notice no change in...

Travelstar HDStrengths: Big, good speed Weakness: none so far I've used the 7200RPM 60GB drives for years, but 60GB just isn't big enough for my notebook anymore. I purchased the new 7200RPM 100GB drive for another notebook and it worked great, but it also just wasn't big enough. I was worried that the 5400RPM 160GB (this drive) would be noticeably slower but I was pleasantly surprised between the SATA technology and the perpendicular recording method. I...

Alot of capacity for a reasonable priceStrengths: Small. Same maker of the OEM drive in my Dell. SATA interface and not the Ultra ATA-150 listed on the title (give the part # is actually for the SATA drive). Great price when compared to others... Weakness: Trouble cloning from original drive. Kept wanting to not be recognized as a 160GB drive but rather an 80GB requiring a download tool/program from Hitachi to reallocate it. When Dell asked for over $400 for their equivalent SATA 2.5 notebook drive, I went hunting for a reasonably priced alternative. The truth is that I got the drive for under $150 from Buy.com and when I removed the original drive from my new E1705 notebook, it turned out that the drive in my notebook was the same Travelstar series drive, only half of the capacity...so, how bad could it be if I...

Playstation 3 Replacement!
Strengths: Works great!
Weakness: None yet
I bought this drive as a replacement for my 20GB Seagate that came OEM in my Playstation 3. My idea was to put in this drive, reserve 10GB for 'Other OS' option in the PS3 (for installing Linux at a later date) and put the remainder as the disk system for the PS3. I am planning on turning my PS3 into a music server with ~50GB of MP3's and possibly a media center extender / video capture / DVR...
