Rating: - Great hard drive at a reasonable price
I found it hard to find a parallel drive in the size range I wanted. Most drives are SATA now. This one fit the bill perfectly. It also has all the latest features including the all-important free-fall sensor. It works great and, after I imaged my 60 gig drive onto it, gives me plenty more space to work with on my notebook. If your notebook doesn't use SATA drives, I definitely recommend this drive.

Rating: - Great upgrade drive
Drive arrived in fairly good packaging. It seems to be quicker and quieter than the Hitachi 160GB which it replaced in my laptop. No complaints after using it for two weeks!
