Toshiba MK5061GSYN !! Is this a good HDD?

[ritch79]

Hi All

Anyone know if this HDD is any good. It is a SATA 500gb running at 7200rpm. I want to put it into a Vaio AR71M.

Thanks

Hi ritch79.

There is probably no such thing as a bad hard drive these days.

The reviews on Amazon are very good: -

However, have a close look at the benchmarks here: -

It is 'in the pack' for non-SSD drives - but is the Seagate better? Your choice.

As long as it works on you, you shouldn't have to worry about anything. Any brand when it comes to HDD will do.

Many thanks for the advice.
