Worked fine in my external USB enclosure. Would have helped to include a note about "Initialing", took me a bit to figure that out so PC would recognize drive.

I've bought many used ATA Hitachi Travelstars, none over 6 years old, and all have performed perfectly. I have bought many other brands, and none of them has this kind of perfect record. The Travelstars have been consistently quiet, as fast as other with the same rotational speed, and run without a hiccup. Also, they have all passed SeaTools tests (such as are permitted on a non-Seagate drive, with no problelms.
I ordered this drive as a replacement for an internal laptop hard drive that had failed. It was very easy to install myself and worked right out of the box. It was exactly what I wanted and is working great with my Dell Inspiron 6000 Notebook. I have had no issues since putting the drive in almost a month ago and everything seems to be working smoothly. I definitely recommend this product if you need a new drive or are looking for a backup.
Wanted this Hitachi Travelstar because I already had it on my laptop but needed bigger disk space for my multiple Linux operating systems. It's been 3 months and the thing works perfectly and tests fine, just like the smaller version. Big plus: It's also portable and can be easily switched without taking everything apart. Very pleased with this purchase, the Seller and the great deal I got on this refurb.
Came quickly. Win and other software installed. Works great. The greatest thing about this deal is the price. This old computer parts are a bit pricey but not here.
