But if they do that, they will have to take it out of the USB enclosure! Shame on you for making a fellow fatwallet user do ANY extra work!
Seriously, great deal on those drives and I just ordered a couple. I will let you know which drive is inside the enclosure when I get them. I HOPE it isn't a 4200 RPM drive.
BTW, your link didn't work on the external drive.Fixed Link
I'm guessing since the description does not list the drive speed that it is 5400rpm. The OP's is for a 7200rpm hard drive. There is typically a sizable price difference between these speeds of drives because the latter is considered much more of a "high performance" drive for your laptop. Correct me if I am wrong. All the same, good price on a laptop external drive.
Edit: Ok, and now the OM site does list the speed and it is only 5400 rpm. Just keep that in mind if you plan on taking it out of its enclosure and using it as your laptop's internal drive.

The new Hitachis are at least as good as any other manufacturer. If a recent model crashed, it's more bad luck than any manufacturing flaw. Browse customer reviews of drives - there's almost always complaints about failures
