    Needed a reliable large hard drive to replace a failed unit in my Dell Desktop. This unit provided the space I needed and having used them in the past I knew it would be an easy install and configuration. Looking forward to this drive keeping my PC alive for several more years!

    I found this hard drive easy to install. Since it would need to be in service for a while before I can tell you how long it lasts - I can't do that but it runs fairly quietly and so far responds appropriately, so I am happy with it so far.

    I needed a replacement HDD for a desktop. This was a good price for the storage available. I could have gone with SDD for speed but those prices are still a bit high. Overall, pleased with the buy as it fit a need perfectly. Working great!

    Here is another time Best Buy has helped me out in a pinch. Hard drive died in my computer and all I had to do is go to Best Buy and they had it in stock and a good price. Never had a problem with sea gate hard drive. Took old one out and popped the new one in and done.

    Not much to say here folks, except it's an internal hard drive and it works. I've purchased several of these over the last couple of years (for different computers) and have not had a failure yet. They are a good value, and I will continue purchasing them.

    I bought this for a customer whose old Seagate drive was beginning to show issues after 10 years of hard use. Worked right out of the box with a noticeable speed improvement. I buy Seagate as my first choice and they have never let me down.

    This product made it easy to replace my failing hard drive. The Disk Wizard software backed up my old hard drive and copied the data from the old to the new without any issues.
