Arrived quick, too! I bought this as a replacement for my dead Tivo drive. Now I can no longer hear my Tivo in the living room (OK, maybe the fan if I concentrate, but the ticky-ticky of drive access is gone. Going from 80GB to 500GB for $60 is incredible (and for $100 at the time I got this, a 1TB drive was almost irresistible--but I had to admit I would probably never use that much extra storage and I really wanted to revive the Tivo for as little $ as possible.)I did not pay attention to the fact this is a PATA drive, and my Tivo only has a SATA cable. A Tivo community forum recommended this exact drive and I just went with it. You might have same issue if your PC only has traditional SATA cables and interfaces. I found a SATA-PATA adapter for $6 on Ebay and it worked great.
