Seagate Momentus 5400.3 ST980815A 80GB 5400 RPM ATA-6 Notebook Hard Drive - OEM
Cons:A bit small and slow

Pros:Good value and reliable drive
Comment:
Got that drive to replace a dead one in a customer laptop. So far, it's a bit faster (the dead one is only 4500 rpm) and doubled in capacity. With the excellent 5 years warranty, it's a good buy.

I replaced the HD of my old LG laptop with this. Installation was easy, just plug and play. The laptop recognized the HD instantly. Made the computer a little bit faster also (old HD was 4200 rpm). Have no issues so far. Great upgrade for older laptops. Highly recommended.

replaced a dead 5 year old 4200rpm drive with this. Extremely quiet and a definite speed improvement in all aspects. for 75 bucks its worth getting this to revive an otherwise still good laptop.

Cons:It's still only 5400 RPM

Pros:Lots of capacity for a laptopQuick if you're upgrading from a 4200 RPM drive5 year warranty
Comment:
I bought this to replace a failed hard drive in a client's laptop. The previous drive was a 10 GB 4200 RPM drive, so they definitely noticed a speed improvement, and the extra 70 GB is useful to them, as well. It was 100% plug and play in their laptop, and they couldn't be happier with it.

Cons:slow seek and write times

Pros:worked 100% right out of the box
Comment:
A good value buy as an upgrade to the dead 40GB HDD in my old Dell laptop. I find it to be a bit slow, but you can't expect much considering the specs. If you're looking for performance, go for a 7200rpm model instead.

This drive replaced my mother's aging/dying Toshiba laptop drive. It sped it up by just a bit. It was very easy to ghost everything onto this drive and it works just as expected. Plug and play! That's it! Highly recommended buy!
