Manufacturer date of 11/05.

PERFECT condition. No bad sectors, funny sounds, etc.

Label still intact (but being an OEM part, there is still NO MANUFACTURER WARRANTY). Like all my drives, this one comes with a 60-day DOA warranty.

Hitachi Model: HTS541080G9SA00
80GB
5400RPM
8MB Cache
2.5" Form Factor

Lenovo P/N: 39T2602

A new non-IBM/Lenovo one of these sells for at least $120 shipped, and the IBM part is more like $160.

My price is $75 shipped USPS Priority Mail.

Oh yeah, almost forgot to mention - comes WITH the original drive caddy (about a $10-15 value).

how much now..??

i think it is not that no one uses SATA drives, just that the market is a bit limited so far..

is this a thinkpad drive..?

$85 shipped.

I edited the original post to reflect the drop.

It is a TP drive (complete w/ IBM drive caddy).

Just out of curiosity, wouldn't a 5K80 be a 5200 RPM 80 GB HDD?

It seems to me, a 5k100 would be a 5200RPM 100GB HDD.

But then, I'm just a n00b!

nope, you are wrong.

First, there are no 5200RPM drives. Speeds come in 4200, 5400, and 7200.

Second, Hitachi's naming scheme has little rhyme or reason, since you can get a 60, 80, or 100GB 5k100. Same for the 7k100.

But, a 5K100 80 GB HDD? Something there doesn't make sense.

Now, a 5K80, 80 GB HDD,or a 5K100 100GB HDD.

But, a 5K80, 100 GB HDD?

5K speed, 100 (or 80) GB storage space, (if it was a 5K80)

At least that was the way I always heard it.

(Oh, I may want one.)

It's simple.

The 5k refers to speed: 5400RPM.

The 100/80 following determines the MAXIMUM size available in that lineup.

i.e a 5k80 comes in 80GB, 60GB, 40GB, and 20GB sizes. A 5k100 comes in 100GB, 80GB, 60GB, and 40GB sizes.

Correct, to them that really just means the platter generation contained within the drive itself.
A 40gb 7200rpm drive from today is much faster than is equal 40b 7200rpm drive from 5 years ago because of the platter density. The newer 40gb drive are only using the inner track of a 100gb platter which as quicker access times whereas the older ones needed the entire platter to attain 40gb of storage.
