Full review
I have been using a Hitachi TravelStar for a long time now, I have had not problems with it and I have given it a good run for the price I paid for it.

I originally started out with the 80gb model of this hard disk. I had absolutely no problems with it. (I now have the 100gb model as the laptop it was in was broken in a car accident).

I had the 80gb model for a year and never gave me any trouble. It was:
· Fast
· Reliable
· Quite
· Super low power consumption
· Had a quick spin up time
· Very quick seek time
· Standard 5 year warranty
· Very helpful warranty/customer support

Hitachi's customer warranty claims support is like no other that I have come across before. You go onto there website, fill out a warrant claim form; package the device (hard disk in my case) in the way they require. Once you have sent it to them and they receive, you will get a notice from them saying that they have accepted you drive for warranty replacement. When they have verified that you disk can be claimed under warranty, they will send you out a disk of equal, higher specification or a repaired disk. I received a 100gb hard disk, as mine could not be repaired.

All in all, The Hitachi TravelStar is the Hard disk to go for should you want a very good hard disk for a laptop or even USB hard disk caddy.

...seconds (approximately 0.30 minutes) and its buffer is 8 MB. Use HD Tune. You may find it!. It moves data faster without unconscious noises. It makes low heat than Fujetsu. 7200rpm is probably nicer with home PC. Hitachi Travelstar provided a remarkably, noticeably smoother experience. It's durable and power utilized. ... Read review
