Comment:
Fair capacity for the value. Drive runs a tiny warm 49C, the 160GB drive went on sale 2 days following I purchased this, and shipping was Ů.29 but totally free for the 160GB. SATA drives at twice the size are the very same cost. I put this into a Dell Latitude D600 and replaced a 40GB model due to the fact it had failed. I am not certain how significantly quicker this drive would be mainly because I did not use the laptop before I replaced the old drive.

Not sure how quick this is but None but I am posting this evaluation to guarantee that Mac users be aware of two pieces of important suggestionsɅ) Write down the Serial Number of your Tricky Drive prior to installing in the pc.two) Ahead of placing pc together guarantee that your Jumper Settings are set appropriately.Installed this HD in my Mac Powerbook G4. It took over an hour to do so. Upon startup, I received a blinking "Question Mark" on startup -- which means that the HD was not being read. Upon calling Western Digital Tech Assistance they essential the SN to offer tech assistance. We are working that out (I emailed them the NewEgg invoice, but the HD box from Newegg did not have the normal SN label).Apparently, I'm getting the matter because there are distinct jumper settings on HD "Slave and Master??" that require to match. The "so what": Unless SN is on box, write it down. And before closing up your laptop check to see that the HD and jumper cable settings are compatible.

Quite quiet drive, although not as quiet as the original Hitachi Travelstar (is this thing even on?) that came in my Dell laptop.Undoubtedly additional quiet than my 7200 rpm Seagate. Drive at some point began clicking maybe two years into it's life. Don't know if it was a click of death, but I wasn't waiting around to come across out. I RMA'd the thing to get a drive that was louder than the drive it replaced. WD is sending a replacement with a totally free return label.I will review the replacement when I get it. Check out WD's client loyalty system for decent offers on this drive and other people

Extremely Quiet! Appears to run at an acceptable temperature under load. None. This is a good selection for everyone overhauling an older laptop. The selection between the 80GB or 120GB is a no-brainer for the added ŭ.

Comment:
When it worked it was very and emitted far much less heat than the replaced 8 years old IBM tough disk (which nevertheless functions if installed). Failed following ten months. By way of the last two months of its life it gradually became slower and slower with rising heat. 1 day the laptop's BIOS gave 񓛘 wise imminent failure" warning. I was still able to load OS but with no good results saving the files. It was just crashing soon after. I had to use Live CD in order to save the original content of the HD. Backup! If I had carried out backups much more frequently the discomfort would have been far less.If you get 񓛘 wise imminent failure", boot your machine from an additional HD, CD or USB source and most likely 98% of the files are still salvageable. Western Digital replaced the disk incredibly quick. I sent them mine at the very same time as they sent me the replacement. It expense me ū.50 for shipping. The new one operates fast and fairly for who knows how long.

Surprisingly quiet and fast for getting a Pata drive. Price for the old technologies compared to Sata drives, but that is how things go. Replacement drive for a Dell B130 laptop.

Easily installed, but for forgetting the little dongle that plugs in to the pins of the challenging-disk to adapt to, in this case, a HP dv1580se. But quite effortless drop in, no troubles therefore far. Packaging really well completed. None as of but. Bourbon makes installation significantly less complicated.

Quiet and cool when it functions. The initially one failed following 10 months. The second one particular lasted one particular month more but in exchange for its longer life it gave no warnings prior to it died. 1 morning it just didn't power up. It was installed in a laptop that is applied as a desktop, it does not leave the desk. The production of these HD in Thailand should be some sort of social give away project for Western Digital. Possibly the managers have great time inspecting their production there.

Very good drive; rapidly and quiet. None. Perhaps a touch too exspensive. Put it in an older Dell laptop and it's way faster than the 1 it replaced.

Reliable, decent specs, value. None, really. Replaced Fujitsu drive in old Gateway MT6460 laptop. Plug and play, no problems following months and months of use. Cooler than old drive, Appears to be additional energy efficient, as nicely, based on reports of far better battery runtime from client.

Detected by BIOS immediately, no configuration required. Formats with Windows disk, no partition tool or unique software program needed , just install and let Windows install disk do its factor and your ready to go . Replaced a dead 4200rpm IBM travelstar ,and performance is identical if not a bit slower, was hoping for a small more quickly speed from a 5400rpm drive . Cost is fairly steep compared to SATA drives . Does get a tad warm also compared to the IBM 4200rpm . This drive was a direct replacement for a HP Pavilion XT412 laptop/notebook . If your searching for a IDE interface drive for your HP laptop , this will do the trick .Not the fastest by any means , but if it fits your requirements , Go for it !

Great cost for a 120Gb drive with an ATA-6 interface. So far, the drive performs substantially better than the drive I replaced. As often, Western Digital has met my expectations. None, so far. If your seeking for a superior replacement drive and excellent value, this could be the 1.

Worked perfectly with my wife's Dell Inspiron 6000. Quiet and rapidly for what my wife needs. (If you're a novice don't forget to use the adaptor on your original HD and use it on this one.) None at the moment. Worked correct out of the box.

For my old Dell Inspiron 1000 laptop, it met the envelope for space, speed, and so on ... with out pushing the envelope, causing overheating troubles, or requiring any hacks or extreme measures. Type of pricey for the space Like it, glad I didn't go for the 7200 rpm

Worked exactly as expected, no problems. It appears quiet, too; I by no means hear it. None so far. As often, arrived extremely swiftly from NewEgg. It was so light in the package I believed maybe it was left out of the shipping container.

It's a uncomplicated, quiet, cool hard drive. A great replacement drive for any dead or dying ATA challenging drive. The choice of drives is a bit limited on Newegg given that this is a dying technologies. Not truly a con, just a reality of life. This is the drive to get for that old laptop. If you're laptop is old sufficient to support this drive though, you may possibly as well just put the price of the drive towards a new laptop.

Wonderful challenging drive to replace the old laptop drives. I don't notice significantly difference from the original in terms of speed or noise, but it's got a lot much more room on it. none I replaced a 40GB HDD for my XPS m140 from Dell. They don't have a replacement for it anymore either.

Excellent price. It does the job. It's fairly silent. I've owned it for 9 months. It seemed to run hot at 1st so I got cooling fans. The HD on my 5-year old Dell inspiron 600m finally crashed. I got this one and now it runs like new.
