    I wanted a few of these to load Linux on some older laptops. The price was right and nobody gets fired for buying Seagate drives. They work great.

    This drive is a direct replacement for most current laptops. I just loaded the OS & all worked great. This is a faster drive than my OEM.

    Reviewing a replacement hard drive that is just a 7200 rpm drive is really kind of hard. All replacement drives come in a box with some packaging and warranty pamphlet and this one is no different. All of the hard drive manufacturers have people who love 'em and people who hate 'em. This one was the only 7200 rpm notebook drive on the shelf at the local Best Buy so it was the one I bought. I have had drives from all the manufacturers. Some are workhorses. Some are ready-for-the-glue-factory plow horses. This Momentus drive seemed to speed up the Macbook I put it in. Let's see if it runs like a thoroughbred for a long time...

    Great product! I think I must be a bit old-school because the touch screen kind of is still new to me, but I'm getting used to it! We have been extremely pleased with this laptop! And the screen is HUGE!
