Working well in a Dell Inspiron E1705
(4 out of 5) by Lahaina Joe on Nov 10, 2008 (Maui or Santa Cruz)This is a bare drive, for my application that was
fine as I already had my own imaging software
available and this is a very simple physical
upgrade on an Inspiron (a few Phillip head screws).
The drive worked well, but I made the normal(?) dumb
imaging copies that can be done on a Dell.. Those
who can't do teach, let me teach you to read all
the information on the Dell net site first, as it
can be a bit of a sad problem when you image a 160 GB
drive down to 60 GB.. It is much faster/easier to do
correctly the first time and not spend the time looking
for WIN tools to restore the original disk label
(not as easy as Sun UNIX). Remember to consider things
such as the "Media Direct" & "Restore Partition", you
may not want them, but you need to understand they are
there.
So:
Good: Price from Amazon at this writing, name brand, running cool
and a very modern drive.
No Cons:
Score: Mechanics = 5 Bare Drive = -1 (silly I know, but some
might need to understand)
User Error: DUH!! Me.. Do not do what I did..
Best,
Joe

Replacement Toshiba Hard Drive for older Gateway Notebook Computer
(5 out of 5) by jayshawaii on Apr 21, 2009Received the hard drive in a timely manner. It fit into the computer with no problems, and so far, it seems to work as intended. The price was right, so am satisfied with the shopping experience.
Hard disk works fine!
(5 out of 5) by Phillip R. Daves on Jan 11, 2009 (Knoxville, TN United States)This notebook hard disk drive was shipped promptly, and worked right out of the box. What more can you ask?
