Hitachi Travelstar 5K80 HTS548040M9AT00 40 GB...

Strengths: Speed,Quietness, Low power consumption, Tech support; Will give your old laptop a new lease of life

Weakness: OEM drive didn't come with install instructions.

I installed the 20gig version of this drive in my 5 year old ultrathin Sony laptop, now I'm buying a 40gig one for a newer machine. Easy install and massive performance improvement, much faster and quieter than the older drive (which in any case had died) AND I get better battery life. Hitachi tech support were also brilliant - I emailed them about the new drive's effect on my drive access...

Hitachi Travelstar 5K80 HTS548040M9AT00 40 GB...

Strengths: fast, quiet

Weakness: none

admittedly, while scouring the hitachi website for information on what features their laptop harddrives had, my eyes glazed with the over abundance of detail. suffice it to say, my "strengths" listed do not do the hitachi hdd any justice since there is a whole slew of features that go into the nice little package. such things like its "battery saving" function go unnoticed since i use my laptop...

Hitachi Travelstar 5K80 HTS548040M9AT00 40 GB...

Strengths: Good price for 40 Gb in a notebook size

Weakness: The warranty is 3 years from the manufacture day and not the invoice day.

We integrate the drive with external Hard Drive Cases and it is the perfect soluition. The problem that we face is that does not include the jumpers and our case requieres.

Hitachi Travelstar 5K80 HTS548040M9AT00 40 GB...

Strengths: very fast and quite operation, big buffer memory

Weakness: a lttle bit of more vibration compared with other 4200rpm models

I ordered one to expand my laptop storage. Instead of swaping the harddrive, I decided to put this harddrive into a highspeed USB enclosure so that I can carry the drive wherever I go with me. Also that allowed me to save at least days to install operating systems and other MANY applications. I moved all my data into the new drive (even some of my son's DV files). The result! It works great. I...

Hitachi Travelstar 5K80 HTS548040M9AT00 40 GB...

Strengths: Quiet, Fast, Reliable.

Weakness: Gives around 36 GB for a 40GB HDD. May be this is the normal case but still 4 GB less is a bit too much.

It is an excellent hard disk for laptops. Provides very fast access. My Laptop's performance has increased since I installed the disk. It is quiet too. But gives around 36 GB for a 40GB HDD. May be this is the normal case but still 4 GB less is a bit too much.

Hitachi Travelstar 5K80 HTS548040M9AT00 40 GB...

Strengths: Small, reliable and easy to install

Weakness: None seen so far

This hard drive replaced my Sony VAIO existing 10 MB with no problems. The install was a one-for-one swap and replaced the exisitng unit perfectly. It now allows me 4 times the storage space. I would higly recommend this product.

Hitachi Travelstar 5K80 HTS548040M9AT00 40 GB...

Strengths: Fast, quiet. 3 year warranty. Great price.

Weakness: none

I used this drive to replace a 10 GB 4200 RPM drive in my Apple iBook 466 Graphite. The drives speed and power saving capabilities are great. In addition the drive is quieter than the drive it replaced. Very pleased. I highly recommend this drive.
