    Bought this to replace my old 120gb SSD drive in a white Macbook. So far, very nice and smooth performance. On a par with the older SSD drive and 500gb of storage. Will post follow up but so far, extremely pleased for the price.

    This purchase was tied to the Geek Squad. The GS had rescued my Dell laptop from a hard drive crash...and once received recovery pack from Dell, the GS restored with this hard disc drive. Perfect product and perfect GS service...as always!

    I purchased this hard drive from Best Buy first, because I needed a replacement drive. Secondly I purchased it from them because they tend to have good prices and tend to have them in stock when I need one. There are other "tech" stores in my area but when it comes to Seagate drives (which I prefer), Best Buy is usually a Best Bet for having them in stock.

    Purchased the Seagate 500 Gig hard drive as part of an upgrade to Windows 7. The drive was is packaged very well and has a good warranty. Installation was easy and the 500 Gig size easily supported a dual-boot configuration. (XP and Windows7)
