Pretty good drive. It's probably the fastest consumer grade spinning drive you can put in a laptop but it still pales in comparison to an SSD. It makes sense for those whom large and fast storage is a mandatory. I think it would be better to put an SSD in your laptop and carry a portable USB drive for bulk storage, unless the speed of USB makes that option a deal killer.
I have the 500gb version in my desktop. I agree with what he ^ said.
Tempted to run one of these in a baconox in my bench computer. No SSD / XP issues with this drive.
I love mine. If you can't afford SSD yet and want a good amount space this is a nice compromise that's much faster than a 5400 drive.
