Need a favour please- HDtune screenies from your laptops

[Clunk]

I'm having disk problems on my laptop and I've just run HDTune which gave me this, which would explain the laptop being very slow and getting slower.

It's a bog standard 120GB 5400rpm drive in a Vostro 1700.



I'm also missing about 50GB of space, even after running the disk utils, so it's looking like an RMA, but I would like to compare it against your HDTune results if possible

ta.

Fixed some of the space, still a load missing.

Deleted the shadow copy files, and did a disk cleanup, I still have a 50 gig windows installation

Donno if this helps.

Oh, yours is broke too

Hmmm, this is weird...maybe it's just a crap drive then. It seems to be the bottleneck of the laptop, I think I might have to try an SSD in it

This is mine: Clicky
And as a 7200rpm drive it is no quicker than yours.
These look good, i might buy one next year if they work out cheaper per Gb than a raptor. Too much just now.

Hey, if everybody's flashing there winkles, here's mine.

Gah, your and your terabyte monster. Do you have a laptop too you could test?
I am now curious about why laptop drives in dells seem to underperform.

Entry level Vostro stunningness.

Oh my god, how do you manage with that?^^

Still, this is making mine look fairly normal

That Intel X25-M drive does look like it'll make a huge difference....lot of money though and nowhere really stocking them yet?
