Hi Beti,

I just upgraded to the MK6022GAX a month or so ago in my HP Pavilion zt1130, and it works well it is quiet and fast. It use to
take 3+ hours to back up my 10GB primary partition with Norton Ghost, now with the MK6022GAX drive, the backup takes 1 hour and
4 minutes the last time I did a backup (Saturday).

I listen to mp3s a lot, so the hard disk definitely gets a workout.

My battery doesn't seem to last as long (talking about 15 -30 minutes), which for me isn't a big deal since I run on AC 95%+ of
the time.

The drive seems to not get as hot as my old drive.

All-in-all, I would recommend this drive.

Ciao . . .
C.Joseph
