    Good upgrade for an older PC

    been using these Samsung Hard Drives for awhile, and i must say they are reliable. but I'm surprised that this hard drive for it's 160 GB capacity at 5400 rpm is super fast and quiet, a good upgrade if you have and older IDE port PC with decent memory. Pros. fast and quiet Cons. none ( any hard drive can fail without warning, just remember to always back up on a separate drive)

    "Fast" is relative.

    It's PATA, so "fast" does not mean what it means now. I can't actually speak for reliability because it has only been in service a month, but I had no problems with it. (The cloning process went EXTREMELY slowly for unrelated reasons.) If you have an old laptop, this is probably the sweet spot when it comes to price and performance. Anything bigger costs quite a bit more, and you're throwing money at a slow machine, but $30 or so is not too much to ask to extend the life of a machine another year or two.

    Item as described and worked upon arrival

    IDE hard drives for laptops are a bit hard to find these days, especially if one wants to score one with the exact size of an existing HD for copy-exact HD backup logistics. This eBay purchase of a used Samsung HM160HC was a success. For a reasonable buy-it-now price, this HD went through the HD cloning process without much problem. The only detour I had to take was to make a small jumper to set it in either the slave mode or cable-select mode. Without the jumper, the IDE controller experienced conflicts with the primary boot drive becasue both drives are in master mode.
