Is this HD good?

[SnowLeopard2008]

I currently have a 120GB which I find a bit small when running Vista and Leopard using Boot Camp. So I decided to upgrade to something above 200GB. I found this HD from Hitachi ( the Travelstar series ). It's a good price, so I'm wondering if I upgrade, will the motion sensor still work? Anyone have this HD in particular? Is it a good quality and build?

I believe the motion sensor activation simply stops the drive access, so it's not drive-dependent.

I've been wondering about this, too. It will be the deciding factor when choosing between this drive or this one. But since their prices will only be about €5 apart, it would be foolish to choose the latter one, only to find out later that the motion sensor isn't drive independent.

Is it a good quality and build?

Can't comment on this drive in particular, but Hitachi makes quality drives, for sure. Don't see why this one would be any different.
