    Seagate Delivers Again

    My impression of Seagate is a good one. Over the years, Seagate has amassed a solid following of customers who believe in their products. Expect solid performance and quick retrieval times. 500 GB's of hard drive space is enough for most users. You get a 1-year warranty from Seagate.

    My 2010 MacBook Pro HDD crapped out on me on vacation about a month ago and I had to make a run. Best Buy was the closest and had the most options. Picked up this drive for a pretty good price and it brought me from 320GB to 500, which was nice. The drive seems to run faster than my old one and was easy to install and be up and running again. Works as expected, does it's job.

    I purchased this drive to increase the amount of storage in my 2008 model Macbook. It was easy to install, runs quiet, and I have no complaints about speed or loading time. I run Pro Tools LE, Serato, Adobe Premier Elements 11, Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 just to name a few. This drive handles multimedia work.

    I had the Best Buy Geek Squad protection plan, so that covered the labor to install the hard drive. Geek squad had my computer back to me in three days. This 500g works well with my computer. Speed of my computer has increased. Mainly use this be to store pics on this computer.
