Drastically slows down to the point of non-usability within two years with 100% HHD usage with nothing actively running.

i've seen two of these (different revisions) die in friends' laptops. i haven't dealt with a lot of dead hard drives, so to see two of the same model die is not good news. even when they run, they're darn slow.
