Will this hard drive skip like a normal hard drive?

It has the same mechanical components as a "standard" hard drive, so skipping is a possibility. I wouldn't recommend dropping your laptop or jostling it around of course, but I would think that with the built-in SSD caching feature that skippage would be minimal, if not unnoticable.

It did not do that for me. It tried to repair my system, but it didn't work, though it may not have been the disk's fault. I finally figured out the hard drive itself was failing and had to be replaced.

I have no idea but I am sure it will clone to a smaller drive. My machines are Windows 7.

It does not. But I concurrently purchased one from amazon or Newegg for a very inexpensive amount (I'm sure it was under 5 dollars). So far, the drive has worked flawlessly.

Yes, you are. I did something similar with mine, moving the hard drive into a different enclosure, safer and more useful for me. The only thing is that I had to reformat the hard drive after making the operation.

No the HDD is a Seagate thin notebook Hybrid Drive that is a portion of the drive is Solid State which may improve performance on repetitive access be careful about theBrands of external Hard Drives you attach because some of the supplied software may cause the PC to respond very slowly

Sorry to tell you, yeah it's a bad drive. These aren't official Microsoft hard drives, so sometimes they won't work. Try returning it. Mine works pretty nice, but had I known that it wasn't actually produced by Microsoft, I wouldn't have bought it.

No. Get something more reliable like a WD BLUE OR BLACK (black is better) This drive failed on me after only 4 months in my Xbox 360. I replaced it with a 360mb WD black after a lot of careful research.

It appears that the other hard drive has comparable specs. However it comes with a different firmware. Otherwise I think it is likely a matter of packaging and marketing.

Don't know why. My Windows 7 laptop routinely forgets the super drive and jump drives for no reason other than it's driven by Windows.

Yes, just be sure you do not install any programs on the drive or they may not run. If you are using the 2nd drive just for data it should be fine.

Yes. The populated version comes with WD Red drives. Should read that in the description.

Cant say. I haven't had any issues with my drive at all. Its been working great for me the last few months. Mine has been HIGHLY reliable to the point

The drive would be compatible, but I am not seeing a dramatic increase in performance.

No it wont . But , a lot of times its a stain or dirt that is causing the skip on my CDs .

I do not know. I liked this drive and the way it worked very much. I ended up having to buy a new computer, but this little drive worked very well.
