    I usually go with Western Digital drives, but this was a little cheaper because it was on sale. So far it runs good and have had zero issues.

    Best Buy offers a great selection on all printer cartridges available for my Brothers Printer. I ordered online with no difficulty and was able to pickup my purchase very easily in my desired store location with no problems.

    Great desktop hard drive

    I bought this hard drive to clean install Win 7 on my computer. It replaced the original Barracuda SATA drive (also 500 GB) in my 2008 Gateway. That drive never gave me any problems ( I still use it if I need to run Vista for some reason). But putting these drives side by side, the new one is definitely quieter and runs much cooler to the touch. Maybe the coolness is due to Win 7 running more efficiently than Vista. I can't say for sure. But what I am sure about is that I'm happy with this HD and would get another.

    I'm not a tech but I had an older HP desktop that quit working a couple years ago. I bought a new laptop but wanted to get my old one working again. I was getting the "boot Mgr missing" message when I turned on the computer. After doing some research and talking with some folks, I decided to start the repair with a new hard drive. I changed it out and turned on the computer and Vava...voooom it booted up. That made my day!

    Seagate has proven to be a reliable partner. I have been dealing with them since the early 1990's. Best Buy always seems to have the product I want whenever I need it. And it's always at the right price.

    This Seagate product is great for those older PC's that don't need a lot of storage. I use these often in PC's still running WIN 7 Pro with 4GB of memory. Thanks for asking ..
