This little Hitachi Hard Drive packs a punch. It's outstandingly reliable and pretty nippy too although it could be faster. It's very quiet which is a definite plus and has the best in class power consumption which can only be a good thing considering it's designed for Laptops. One problem I have with this drive is that I have the 80GB version which I'm finding isn't enough but I've invested in a external drive to solve that problem. The drive is available in other capacities too. Overall this is a great little all-rounder drive for your laptop. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending it.
