[Thinkpad] Fujitsu 2.5" ATA HDDs (was Re: NEW HITACHI 7200RPM 60 Gig Drive)

Hello,

I have a four-year old 4200RPM 12GB Fujitsu 2.5" ATA hard disk drive from
an old laptop which I now use as part of my backup/file transfer strategy
in an external drive enclosure.

It has not had any hard or soft errors nor is it particularly noisy.

When it does eventually fail I will replace with my T30's hard disk drive
and buy a faster/higher-capacity/quieter hard disk drive for it. :)

Regards,

Aryeh Goretsky
