Customer Review: Fast, Quiet, Runs Cool, and has PATA Interface
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this drive to replace the 7200 RPM Hitachi 80 GB drive that originally came on an aging IBM Thinkpad. I am happy with the product. Compared to the original hard drive, it is very quiet, runs much cooler, and despite its slower 5400 RPM rating has a very noticeably faster data transfer rate (which I attribute to higher data densities).
Installation was easy with the help of a Vantec SATA/IDE to USB 2.0 Adapter, also from Amazon (highly recommended, despite poor manual), the free for personal use DriveImg XML software, and another PC I borrowed. I removed the original drive from the Thinkpad, attached it to the other PC via the Vantec USB adapter, copied the contents to that PC via DriveImg XML, deattached the old drive from the borrowed PC, attached the new Western Digital drive to that PC via the Vantec USB adapter, partititioned the new Western Digital drive (still on the borrowed PC) with the Windows XP disk manager ( Control Panel -> Performance and Maintenance -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management -> Disk Management), and used DriveImg XML to copy the data I had temporarily stored in the borrowed PC to an appropriate partition in the new Western Digital drive. I then marked that partition as "active" in the XP disk manager.
At that point I deattached the new Western Digital drive from the borrowed PC and the Vantec USB adapter, installed it on the Thinkpad I was upgrading, turned on the power switch and....things worked just fine and have worked just fine for several months.
Given I am happy with the drive, that I need another external USB drive for backups, and that it is difficult to find big PATA drives, I'll order another one and use it as an external USB drive for backups via the Vantec adapter. Like that I'll have a spare PATA drive just in case I need it.
