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

    • I have been using this hard drive for over 2 months now and I am very satisfied with how well the performance has been so much better than the hard disc I had in my laptop before
    • Used as ps4 upgrade , awesome performance
    • Excellent performance
    • Replaced the stock PS4 drive with this one, outstanding performance.
    • I find acceptable performance for games in this area as well.
    • No issues, love the faster performance and additional storage of the drive.
    • Great drive no problems, good performance.
    • I debated between this and the Firecuda, but the reports I was reading seemed to indicate that the performance wasn't really worth spending more money on.
    • Pure Garbage, poor performance
    • It is really easy to install and will have you in awe with flawless performance.
    • Very good performance.
    • Definitely improved speed and performance, and the price was great, too.
    • Works as expected, having all games in one place is great and I believe does improve overall performance and speed
    • This drive is much quicker than the original and the system runs great with it however for the technically minded I noticed that the performance when copying a large file from one part of the drive to the other part of the drive was very very slow it starts out fast but after about 15 seconds slows down to a speed up like 20 megabytes a second or less this won't matter to most people unless you need to move large files on and off your laptop but for regular desktop performance the cache on the hard drive makes things speed up except for really large files where the cash runs empty and things really slow down
    • low price good performance
    • Easy to install, great performance for my PS4
    • Pure Garbage, poor performance
    • Great price and performance
    • now I keep my photos and all my photo apps on this 1TB hard drive and have freed up the other hardrive for better performance
    • Expect the benchmarks to be correct, value at a good performance rate
    • If you have a lot of games you can use the yellow partition as well for good performance
    • Good price, capacity and great performance
    • Pure Garbage, poor performance

    • I use it on my PS4 and so far I've been enjoying the performance.

    • The performance is remarkable and it operates together with the SSD.
    • Good reliable performance so far.
    • Brand new, well design, good quality and perfect performance, this is really a good one, can't image a Seagate 1TB need only 50 bucks after several years

    • 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++
