This was a brand new, mint condition hard drive, bought to replace my old 60 GB Hitachi hard drive that crashed and stopped working after 4 years of heavy usage. For the price ($50), I thought it was a great value. Installation was super simple, just removed and replaced a few screws, installed one jumper, loaded the operating system, loaded a few drivers, and bingo! my laptop was alive again. I am glad I checked Ebay first, this could have been a much more expensive repair if I had gone through a computer repair shop.
This is an absolutely fantastic Laptop Hard drive...a true value. I thought to get a new laptop with more space, etc...this was an ez install and will likely easily give me 5 more years out of my Laptop... EZ install too...I never opened a computer before; but this was a breeze...it's easy to look up how to install over the net. Thank you!
For the value in money-this thing is absolutely fantastic. It's a fresh, new IDE 80GB drive, and 80GB is a lot for laptops with IDE. It's perfect for anyone who knows how to use these things, and can install their own software and install Hard Drives.
It does exactly what it's supposed to, and according to specs operates a little faster than Western Digital Scorpio blue drives (PATA). I haven't had a chance to test that yet but now that it's in the laptop the DVD drive and fans are the ones generating the most noise.
Made a very noticeable improvement on my laptop. Recommend this to people who want to upgrade computer at an affordable price.
