Seifelden 2.5in IDE/ATA Hard Drives 3 Year Warranty for Asus HP Dell Gateway Toshiba Gateway Acer Sony Samsung MSI Lenovo Asus IBM Compaq eMachines Laptop Mac PC (Renewed) (100GB IDE)

The drive in my old winXP laptop died. I use the laptop for a legacy application, so I wanted to save the system if possible. This was an amazingly cost-effective solution and all worked well for me.When my old winXP laptop turned up with an error at boot, I burned a CD with an Slitaz iso to make sure the system was worth putting money into. (At 35mb Slitaz loads very quickly on older XP systems.) After finding that the OS would load and all systems resources on the laptop worked, I decided to purchase this drive since new drives cost MUCH more. This was an easy install. Burned a fresh (old) copy of winXP, and restored the laptop to factory specs.

I was rebuilding an old laptop computer that needed a new IDE HHD. I felt that for this slow and small a HHD this was costly. However I couldn't find any cheaper and I needed this. This computer never really worked well so I cannot say how well this drive worked. I don't believe there was anything wrong with the drive and I am sure these legacy drives may be getting harder to find, thus the great cost.

Now this hard drive works pretty well. I bought it for my old laptop to continue to run some old games. It works really well now obviously it doesn't have a fast boot up being only an IDE and not say an SSD but it works. It runs well and not really too hot for an IDE drive. It was also easy to install into my laptop as well as my OS system which was Windows XP (I know it's old), but it is only real OS that can run my games. Overall the boot up speed is average for an IDE, it doesn't run hot, there is plenty of space for my games that are not too big in size. I really enjoyed this drive.

Very satisfied!. Works perfectly, no complains at all. Just replace an old hard disk of 40G with this one, and the old Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop (14 years old) run as new. By the way, I have 4 HP that cannot run smooth and with this quality of display. What a shame for HP (What's up with you guys?) and also for Dell because they are not supporting drivers for this incredible laptop anymore! Solid, robust, fast, confortable keyboard and incredible display's quality, with vendors relaible like this one, nothing else is needed.

I run a small computer repair store and only leave reviews on the things I feel meet expectations. I am giving this item a 5 star because It works great with no problems. We probably spend over $50,000 a year on Amazon for our business, so finding the right parts in a timely matter at an affordable price so I can make some profit is key. We rely on Amazon to keep us in stock with parts.

This plugged right and worked with no problems. In hind sight I wish I had gotten to full 40GB for a few dollars more. This was a refurb(?) as it was a 40 gb originally, but slightly reduced capacity due to repairs. This is not meant to disparage the product, just trying to state a fact.

I got my item fast and as described.I am very satisfied with the product & it works great.

Installed in an older computer, this is just what I needed and worked fine from the start. Great deal and fast delivery.
