Hitachi / HGST TravelStar are the best laptop drives period. I have dozens of them going back 20+ years and they still work. If you get a Thailand made drive it was made in HGST's Global Storage Facility which they bought from IBM several years ago and this is a top quality facility. I'm expecting that the later china sourced ones are just as reliable. The bad thing is that Western Digital bought Hitachi a few years ago and eventually subsumed the HGST brand into WD's brand so no more newly made HGST drives. That's why I seek out the 2-6 year old unused Hitachi / HGST drives like these. Hopefully WD had not lowered the quality standards of the HGST drives, I did just buy a couple WD high capacity (2TB) laptop drives. We will see how those fare.

My 2-year old ThinkPad Leveno T430's hard disk was damaged, but my PC was never dropped or hit. I bought this hard disk, and installed Win XP, which could use/recognize about 128 G of the the total 500 G capacity, after formatting it with 2 partitions. I then installed Win 7 32 bits on the other partition. Win 7 can use/recognize all 500 G. Since I found that 4 G memory (with ~1.2 G used by video graphics card) is a little too small for Win 7 32 bits, I then bought and installed another piece of 4 G memory chip. But I found that Win 7 32 bits can utilize up to 4 G memory. I then installed Win 7 64 bits on the partition for XP. Then Win 7 64 bit can use/recognize all 500 G hard disk and 8 G memory. I activated Win 7 64 but with the same product key for Win 7 32 bits and it worked. Both the hard disk and the memory are used ones but both worked great so far. Frank 1/4/2015Read full review

In short: in all respects super my netbook has become a great computer small size and all thanks to Hitachi excellent company knowingly believe in it and I have already recommended to a friend He bought a very happy
plug and play, easy to install, started up quickly and works well. If I can do this replacement so can you, check out the vids on YouTube for tips and tricks and you can perhaps do what I did and rescue a perfectly fine laptop after the hard drive failed. Saved mucho $$.
