Toshiba MK6025GAS - Hard drive - 60 GB - internal - 2.5" - ATA-100 - 4200 rpm - buffer: 8 MB

I got this 2 replace a Toshiba MK2016GAP, 20GB hard drive (I dropped my laptop, & the drive was damaged). It seems 2 be completely compatible, & since both are 4,200 RPM, I am not expecting any heating issues in this ultra-light (and therefore, cramped internally) TOSHIBA Portégé laptop. My old drive was over 6 years old & had been very reliable until I dropped it, frequently working almost 24/7 (even then, I rescued all the data safely), so I am expecting the same reliability from this new Toshiba drive!

The drive is VERY quiet in operation, when compared 2 the 12GB Fujitsu MHK2120AT drive in my other DELL laptop. I checked it with SpinRite software first (use Google 2 find it, since links are not permitted), & found no (as in zero) defects on the drive. I had no problems installing the O.S. & my trusty old laptop now has a new lease of life.

This is a great way 2 get 60GB in an older laptop with a 2.5" IDE PATA drive, or add a drive into a slim external USB enclosure. I have been so impressed with the drive itself (and the seller) that I have decided 2 purchase a second identical drive 2 replace the noisy Fujitsu in my old DELL.

A great purchase.
