Hitachi Travelstar HTS726060M9AT00 60 GB Internal...

Strengths: Has decreased my boot up time by half. Much quiter than expected. Applications run much faster and more smoothly.

Weakness: It has reduced my battery life some. My HP zt3000 was getting four and a half hours with my old 4200rpm drive and now it gets about three and a half. Maybe I can tweak it a bit?

I am pleased with the overall performance of the drive and would recommend this to anyone who wants desktop speeds from their laptop. All the applications that I have tested run much more smoothly than before. AutoCAD, 3ds Max, Maya, and Revit are the programs that I use most and they don't suffer from the annoying hard drive hiccups that plagued them before. There is nothing worse than trying to...

Strengths: Fast & Quiet

Weakness: None so far

My old drive from my Dell died so I decided to upgrade while I was replacing it. Went from 30G 4200RPM, to this one and I love it. I thought it might be noisier or hotter but it's not. It's super quiet and blasts through files like it's its job.

Strengths: Fast speed, thats what you are looking for and paying for here. Toshiba now has a 50gig 7200 but this drive has more megibits for the buck.

Weakness: over $200.00 in price, thus only 4 stars. I hope they come down soon.This drive runs hotter then slower drives.

I was tired of the slow seeks and lags in my old 4200rpm drive on my Dell 8100, and I wanted more space too. This sure made a big difference. It is like a desktop now. Of the things you can do for an old laptop before trading it in, this is it, and of course adding memory if you don't have enough. But for game players like myself, well you have to upgrade for the video card, wish that was...

Hitachi Travelstar HTS726060M9AT00 60 GB Internal...

Strengths: Fast, Light, Thin, Quiet, Runs Cooler than expected.

Weakness: 7200rpm only available in 60GB(If you call that a weakness)

This drive is a solid little drive. It is much thinner and lighter than the 20GB 4200rpm drive it replaced. It also runs cooler with only a very light "pur" hardly worth mentioning. It's performance is solid. Normal use shows only a slight increase in speed but file transfers show a noticable increase. I chose the 60GB 7200rpm over the 80GB 5400rpm because speed is more important to me than the...

Strengths: Fast hard drive, large capacity, quiet operation.

Weakness: Some vibration in notebook due to 7200 rpm speed.

This is an excellent replacement upgrade hard drive for notebooks. Drive is fast at 7200 rpm. The 7K60 operating temperature is much lower than other Hitachi drives. While the drive is very quiet, the only drawback I've noticed is that you can feel a slight vibration in the notebook case, probably due to the 7200 rpm speed.

Hitachi Travelstar HTS726060M9AT00 60 GB Internal...

Strengths: Excellent performance that allows my Dell laptop to perform on par and even outperform some of my desktops.

Weakness: None that I can tell.

I am very glad I purchased this drive. Not only did it allow my 3.2Ghz Dell Inspiron 5150 to operate at it's full potential it did so without any more noticeable noise, battery drain than the drive that it came with. Great upgrade for any laptop user.

Hitachi Travelstar HTS726060M9AT00 60 GB Internal...

Strengths: Very fast!

Weakness: slightly noisier than the 4200rpm drive it replaced.

I have been very impressed with the speed of this drive. I installed it in a brand new HP ZT3000 Centrino based notebook and was surprised at how much of a difference this drive made in the overall system speed. I have used several Dell Notebooks with 5400 rpm drives but this Hitachi makes those drives look slow in comparison. There are several sites online that can give you actual benchmarks for...

Strengths: fast and quiet

Weakness: price

very nice upgrade even for a newer laptop. I upgraded my toshiba satellite 2455-S305 from its original toshiba 4200RPM hard drive to this 7200RPM hard drive and it makes a big difference. It cuts down boot time to a fraction of the time. It is so fast i forget that i am working on my laptop. I still haven't tried it with video editing or gaming but considering how fast it installed windows xp i...

Hitachi Travelstar HTS726060M9AT00 60 GB Internal...

Strengths: Speed like you are used to on your desktop workstation. Overall system improvements on higher end laptops.

Weakness: None thus far.

I expected the battery life on my laptop to have been reduced after installing this drive but I have found approximately the same battery life. I know that doesn't seem to make sense. I don't hit my drive continuously when on the road (like listening to MP3s for hours). I believe that intermitant drive usage combined with faster spin-up/write speads (compared with my old 4500RPM drive) results in...
