    I love how much my faster my laptop is when I had this installed. This was triple the memory compared to what I purchased with the laptop. I don't have to use any flash drives now. I love music and now have enough space. This was the best purchase.

    Everything about this drive and its installation were as expected. No surprises. Performance was as expected while it was with me. Now it's gone out into the world on its own and I may never know if it makes it into a long and productive life.

    This hard drive was used to replace one in a laptop with a slow response. I works fine and the price was good. I looked around and found this on sale and available from the nearby Best Buy, for my computer customer.

    After having problems with my hard drive I sought the assistance of the Geek Squad. The diagnosed the problem and recommended a new hard drive. After the work was completed things were back to optimum performance.

    I bought this to replace an existing HDD on a laptop, worked great as expected and to date no issues. I always go with Seagate and have replaced other brands in the past and always have had great results.

    Drive crashed on my HP Pavilion and Best Buy Reps pointed me to this drive for all the right reasons. Easy to swap drives out, fast access speed without the unnecessary expense of a solid state drive.

    My hard drive went kaput and they assured me this would fit. While I was in line I talked with a woman that another store suggested she buy a whole new computer... I got running with this $50 purchase!

    he sales clerk said I would be able to use this hard drive vs. a solid state one ....reason being I only use computer for emails and looking hings up online, Therefore I was able to save roughly $20 so I feel it was a good value for my needs.

    Installation was easy. Old drive was also a Seagate 500 GB that suddenly failed while I was on vacation. I hope this one gives me a longer life span. The old one had less than 5000 hours.
