Bought this to increase the capacity of my ps3 (40gb wasn't cutting it). It was simple to replace (instructions are on SONY's website, just find your model). I installed it several months ago and I've had no problems.. Now I have room for all of those free PSN games!

I have switched from Seagate drives to Toshiba and I have found they hold up much better. At less than $50 this is a true bargain.

A hard drive that's as good as the original

My computer crashed and I had to send my laptop's original hard drive to a Best Buy forensics center in hopes of recovering my precious data. All I could do was focus on the possible loss of data. (I didn't have a proper backup regimen-- Listen up! Backup your data NOW so it doesn't happen to you.) I didn't think that I would have to replace the drive as this had never happened to me before.
As the Geek Squad prepared the paperwork to ship off the crashed hard drive, we discussed restoring my laptop to working condition. I needed a new hard drive and I really wasn't in any mood to compare replacement drives. A Geek Squad member suggested this particular model. It's been weeks since they installed the new hard drive and my laptop continues to work as good as new!
By the way, Best Buy was able to recover all my data. Whew! But still..back up your data!

An okay hard drive.

This is an okay hard drive for storage purposes (i.e. using it as an external hard drive or extra storage in a computer), but I would not use it as the main hard drive in a laptop. This is a 5400 rpm hard drive which is to slow for an operating system and other programs to run smoothly on. I would suggest a 7200 rpm hard drive as the main drive in any computer.

I needed a replacement HDD and did not want to spend a lot of money. I was able to acquire this unit for a reasonable price and it will serve its purpose until I decide to move into a solid state drive.
If you are looking for an inexpensive alternative to the SSD, this is the brand to go to.
