    Pros: It boots, it loaded windows nicely, and so far, it’s worked perfectly fine. Cons: I’m not sure if it’s the hard drive or the laptop using said drive, but it’s pretty slow, and it took well in excess of 24 hours to install windows and its updates. Overall Review: It’s a decent drive, overall. I didn’t try it in another computer after that because after spending over a day trying to get the laptop up and running, the last thing I want to do is take the whole thing apart just to fish out…

    Pros: It just works. Surface and SMART tested the drive before installing the Playstation3 software and it worked out ok. The drive is essentially inaudible and cool, so noise or heat is not something to worry about. Plenty of room for all my DLC, games, movies, music and other random stuff. The fact that it’s 7mm thin will allow it to fit in almost any device you can think of, including ultrabooks. It’s also Advanced Format. Cons: Other than the fact that’s it’s 5400RPM…no cons. The…

    Pros: WD name brand, low price Cons: none Overall Review: Maybe it’s just luck, but I’ve never had a WD drive fail on me yet. This was a “bare” drive, meaning no retail box or other junk that you throw away. It was enclosed in a heavy duty air bag designed specifically for this form factor of HDD. It looks like they could have booted it out of the airplane at 5000 ft and it would still fire up with no problem. Nice!

    Pros: – Expected Read/Write Speeds – Super Slim Design (this thing is THIN) – Good Price Cons: None. Overall Review: I used software to clone a client’s failing hard drive’s (S.M.A.R.T. tests were reporting imminent failure) partitions and then verified the file system with a few tools. The original hard drive was failing and response times were terrible. After cloning the partitions and installing the replacement hard drive, the machine began behaving as expected. I don’t recommend cloning…
