Review on Brand 500GB Drive Latitude Tablet by Eric Chapman

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works well - finally

Advertised as Western Digital HD but is actually Hatachi (which is fine). I replaced my old 120GB HD drive with a 500GB in my Dell Latitude D830 as I was running out of storage. There was some difficulty cloning the new drive with the EZ upgrade kit (which I also bought from Revain - the problem isn't the new hard drive) but it finally worked when I got a new software patch from Apricorn . Overall the drive works well but response times and startup seem slower than my old drive despite both being 5200rpm.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks
