Since my 500 GB hard drive has encountered increasingly to their limits in my 4 1/2 year old laptop, I wanted to replace it with a larger alternative. Due to Moore's Law, I would have expected at least 2 TB Laptop plates should be available; Finally, my laptop was not particularly expensive. But this is not so. Almost all 2.5 "disks with a capacity of more than 1 TB have a thickness of 15 mm and thus do not fit into a laptop Thinner plates usually have a maximum capacity of 1 TB;. The few exceptions have 1.5TB and the Hitachi drive one of them. During the year 2014, then probably come to the market a 2 TB drive from Seagate.
For disk itself: This is built into my laptop for three weeks and doing its job without problems. It is compared to my previous panel also very quiet (in fact it is not audible because of my rather loud fan).
Finally, even "thumbs up" for the seller Nord PC: The plate was really packed very safely, several air pillows were placed around the actual hard disk packaging, so this was perfectly protected from shocks.
