    Seagate 500GB BarraCuda SATA 6Gb/s 128MB Cache 2.5-Inch 7mm Internal Hard Drive (ST500LM030)

    • I got a warning on bootup to backup as soon as possible, as a hard drive failure was imminent
    • I understand that the hard frive failure rates are high
    • Personally when it comes to hard drive failures I've had 2 of perhaps 5 ssd
    • so 15% failure is better than WD..
    • First unit failed (first-ever failure I've had with a new Seagate drive), but replacement arrived in 2 days and has performed perfectly.
    • Failure of the hard drive caused the laptop to slow down, freeze, and eventually prevented it from booting into Windows
    • it's a very good made product i love it
    • Don't recommend putting programs and apps on it as it will run faster on your computer's memory, but it is still possible
    • Work great as of know (2 months use)
    • Works as it is supposed to.
    • My laptop's original hard drive was not working anymore because of a virus, so I decided to replace it with this one and my laptop is now working as if it were new.
    • It works as it should and easy to install with no problems so far
    • Great hard drive no longer have to deal with running out of space as fast as i did
    • Many thanks A++
