Strengths: small but with large capacity
Weaknesses: 5,400 rpm seems alittle slow
Summary: I bought this disk for my 2.5 inch enclosure and wanted to use them together as an external disk. It works great. I have an internal one in my laptop but with a little smaller volume 60GB.

Strengths: good price. runs well.
Weaknesses: nope
Summary: 2007-10-08 13:00:51 I installed the harddrive into my fujitsu c2210 laptop, and it seemed to be doing very well. After first install, the drive was humming quite loud. But it was not issue with the drive per se. I had to open it up and install it again b/c the first time I did not tighten the screws enough and so the computer hummed. when I installed the screws tightly, the computer is whisper quiet.

The drive has much larger capacity than my 30gb original drive, which is also made by Toshiba. I realize the computer boot faster since the RPM is faster than my old drive. install win xp pro without any prob. In fact, I think this drive is quieter than my old Toshiba drive. I was able to use the whole 80gb size with the older BIOS of Fujitsu.

Strengths: Small, Decent Capacity, Decent for Laptop
Weaknesses: Unreliable, 5,400 RPM, Toshiba Downgraded from 16mb cache
Summary: Bought this item to replace a hard drive (MK8026GAX). Works great in my HP NX7010. Decent Quality Product. Last hard drive died on me after 3 years. Perfect for laptops that require such a small drive to increase mobility.
