Awful product. Awful, awful, awful.......2007-05-19

If I wasn't clear enough in the subject of my review, let me restate: this is an awful product. I purchased a Toshiba Satellite which came equipped with this piece of crud. 18 months later it fried itself, and I lost all my data. Toshiba said the 1-year warranty on my computer was kaput, so they basically told me to go frag myself. But I found in the fine print that all Toshiba HDDs carry a warrantee of 3 years (nobody tells you this; you must waste weeks researching the problem like I did).

I got a hold of toshiba's HDD division and, yes, they finally admitted that it is their responsibility to replace the product. All was peachy for a while. I sent it in immediately. 1 week later. 2 weeks later. 3 weeks, 4 weeks, 5 weeks... (this is beginning to sound like a Dr. Seuss poem)

After 5 MONTHS, I got my replacement. But lol they forgot the adapter, so I had to wait another 2 weeks for that.

Finally I got it installed. It seemed to run ok. For exactly 12 months. Now, guess what---kaputsville again. Oh calgon take me away. I don't want to go through this hell again.

Please, please, please... don't fall into the same trap I did. Avoid this product like the plague. It may be wise to avoid all Toshiba notebook products, I don't know. If I had known this information 3 years ago, I would have bought a Sony and saved my self all that blood pressure medication I've had to buy.
