    It's significant because it's not a Toshiba. I realize that you may have had a good time with your Toshiba drive, but that's not always the case. I had a Toshiba laptop hard drive fail on me a few months ago, and I did some Googling, and discovered that it's very common for Toshiba drives to fail after only a few (10) months of service.

    However, this may not apply to their SATA offerings.
