5.0 out of 5 stars Quite operation and best IDE replacement, April 16, 2010
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Samsung 160 GB 5400 RPM 2.5-Inch Hard Drive (Electronics)
I had a Hitachi Travelstar installed on my laptop. The other day I dropped it and crashed the hard-drive. I bought this Samsung HDD not knowing it is PATA (was not enough information available from Amazon). Once arrived, I was skeptical that it would work with IDE port. Sure enough, it is compatible and works fine. It does not only work fine, it works better than the older Travelstar HDD. It is quieter and seems to be faster. I know IDE and ATA drives are being phased out by new SATA drives, but for the people - like me - stuck with older computers, this is the best replacement of technology and best value for the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Little Drive Still Available, May 18, 2010

This review is from: Samsung 160 GB 5400 RPM 2.5-Inch Hard Drive (Electronics)
This hard drive brought my old Dell Inspiron 2200 back to life.
It is incredible how fast it operates.
My laptop use to boot in 1 minute 53 seconds using XP Home.
It now boots in 53 seconds period.
It is super quiet and runs like a champ.
It runs cooler than the Hitachi that came with the Dell.
I bought it here one month ago and have no regrets.
I had back luck with two Western Digital drives locking up after about 3 months of use.
These drives that are IEDE/ATA are getting harder and harder to find now that the switch to SATA has happened.
I may just get another to hang on to for safety sake.
I am trying to make this old Dell last until MS stops supporting XP, which I believe will be some time in 2014.
Hope this helps someone chose an awesome product.
