No idea as to the overall reliability of the Hitachi Travelstar.. Bought 2 laptops last year, one for myself, one for my son. P4's. But couldn't believe how slow they felt compared to our desktops systems with older hardware. Until I realized that the new laptops had 5400 rpm drives. Replaced both drives last year with the Hitachi 7200 rpm... Made a huge real-world difference. Have had no problems with either drive in a year.. Bill
