nocteratus Distinguished Mar 6, 2007 22 0 18,560 Feb 20, 2012 #6 It might depend on the A200 model. Where I'm working, we have a few different A200 models and we change the hard drive very often. We use any 2.5 sata hard drive, toshiba, seagate, western digital, etc. 5400rpm or 7200rpm.

Seagate BOUGHT Maxtor...but Maxtor had such a bad reputation in the trade that they kept the factories seperate due to quality control issues... My computer companies buy LOTS of hard drives... for both Laptops and Pcs..but NEVER a Maxtor....NOT EVER.... But we buy Seagates quite happily... We do see a LOT of crashed Maxtor drives in customers machines though...lol All the best Brett
