...the Internal Thermal Sensor allows you to monitor the Drive Temparature.
The drive can be found on most retailers, such as Dabs, ebuyer, Scan etc, and they all tend to retail at £60 at the moment. However this product has almost the exact product description on these websites as the other 120Gb drive by Hitachi/IBM which only has a 2mb cache.

...If you are looking for an 80 GB hard disk for your PC, you have found the one to buy! I have been using 2 of these Hitachi Deskstar's in my PC for a long time now. I have had no problems with them. For the price you pay to buy one, you are getting cheap and reliable hard disk, witch has a good capacity to price ratio (around 2GB per pound).

Instillation of this disk is like every other hard disk on this planet, if you know...
