    Another good Seagate drive.

    Seagate is my go-to brand for hard drives. They are reliable, fast and inexpensive to get in very large capacities. I was surprised that this 500 GB drive is a great deal thinner and lighter than the 80 GB it replaces. I also love that it comes with NO software loaded, so I can load what I want, rather than having to deal with all the garbage that comes in "LOADED" computers. This lack of useless software is helping me keep this drive mostly empty and running fast. I am sure that my gaming and record keeping will fill the drive up fast enough. I don't need the stuff that wouldn't sell at all if it wasn't pre-installed taking up space.

    Hard Drive did not work

    I attempted to install and operate my new hard drive, only to find out there was a boot disc error and would not work. Lesson-you get what you pay for. I was able to clean up my old hard drive and load windows 10 on it. Save your money and buy in store, this item was not marked fragile and could have been damaged in shipping. :(

  • Excellent hard drive

    A few years of power-on time (obviously as this was probably some data center backup drive) but runs pretty quiet and has fast RW speeds of 130MB/s+. No bad sector or anything alarming in SMART. A tiny bit of dust in the back side but the front looks *pristine*. Not so much as a fingerprint... Must buy for budget-oriented builds!

  • Constant Great Value

    Overall I love these cheap hard drives. They're a good amount of storage and perfect for selling computers. Though the amount of use and abuse on each is different so some are better than others. Some can be really quite slow and bottleneck the system a bit running at 100% for awhile after boot up in task manager. Others don't have the same issue. I'd say it's 50/50 and I've bought about 5 of these from the same seller. Pros: - the GB per dollar is amazing and cannot be beat - Seagate name brand - Standard SATA interface - Almost constantly available at the same great price from this seller Cons: - Kinda a lottery some are good some are less good - A few of mine had dings and scratches to the label Ain't the fastest, but gets the job done for cheap Highly Recommended

  • As supplement to SSD in older PC

    Bought as 2nd drive to supplement SATA SSD boot drive, for older PC that came with no drives. Unit came with "Certified Repaired" label - and I have no reason to think that's not so. No issues installing, formatting. CrystalMark speed test results are what I expected. Good value for what it is - as long as it holds up. Installed it only last month.

  • Great Product @ a great price

    I paid twice as much for the same product locally a couple years ago. The drive has worked flawlessly in my older Dell PC that I use out in my workshop. Shipping was very fast as well.
