Good performance

I'd been running 5400 rpm drives. I installed this drive - boot time was much faster, as is time to load programs. Well worth the extra. It's slightly noisier and hotter, but worth that for the extra performance. I've had problems with some of the early 320gb 2.5" drives from other manufacturers - but so far this WD drive seems to be fine.
