Was fine for about half year.
Started getting slower after 6 months. Booting up and shutting down became slower. People talk about bad sectors. I don't know how to check this but i imagine i had similar problems. This hard drive died just weeks after my warranty. Awesome!
Don't buy this hard drive. or toshiba.
When it was new just over a year ago it was fast enough and certainly a good size at 250Gb
The drive has died after playing up for the last two or three weeks. It could take two or three attempts before it would respond and the PC boot - prior to that it had also been getting slower and slower with bad sectors all over it.
This hard drive was a lousy piece of kit - to get just over twelve months out of an infrequently used hard drive that was only 25% full is inexcusable...Toshiba's quality control must be very slack and as a result of this I will avoid their products in future.

Avoid Toshiba Hard Drives, go for Western Digital, or Seagate, and if your running it in a laptop, go for the hard drives with 7200 rpm, it will make your laptop scream, that is as long as you have 2 or more gigs of system memory, i have 3 gigs and a 320 gig 7200 rpm westen digital hard drive and my Inspiron laptop runs super fast and smooth and it has great performance
