Good capacity/cost ratio


Speed. Smooth operation. Size.

This drive is great. The speed increase on everything from boot times to applications opening, very noticeable compared to a standard 7200R RPM drive on my Lenovo T430. 3 year waranty

Wow this drive is thin. It registers in at only 7mm in height, by far the smallest 2.5” drive I have come across. This will fit easily in ultrabooks. This may not fit as well in regular laptop drives, it will screw into the cage, but it will have some wiggle room. Either way make sure you intend on getting such a small drive from the beginning. I used the Seagate Disk Wizard tool to copy my OS install onto this HDD. It was a very easy process (see other thoughts). This drive runs very well, I did not hear any abnormal noises either. Fairly quick response (I have SSDs on both laptop and desktop so it’s not a fair comparison). I used HD Tune Pro v2.55 to benchmark this drive. Read speeds average out at around 136Mbps, write speeds slightly slower at 124Mbps and the access time was around 15ms. No bad sectors out of the box and no abnormal SMART readings

Big capacity and cheap product

This is a nice 1TB enterprise Seagate drive in a 2.5" form factor. I'm running this drive in a workstation. It came with a 5 year warranty. (Please note, this most likely will not fit in a laptop, if that is what you are seeking to do. It is much taller than a typical laptop drive.) So far, I'm very happy with it.,

Very good price per GB for the 2.5" form factor compared to other drives on the market. Drive was shipped in a very solid yet impact absorbing air pack to prevent any damage. The drive height is very thin at 7mm and very light compared to my 7 year old 2.5" seagate drive. The drive is also very quiet compared to my older drive, its almost silent to the point I don't even know if its on or not. I used this drive as an external USB drive using a 2.5" USB enclosure. I did have to format, partition, and initialize the drive first in Windows Disk Management before the device would show up in Explorer. After that it was simple plug and play for the drive now. Writing to the drive I got an an average of about 22MB/s for a 3GB file. Read speed was about 31MB/s. This was done on the USB 2.0 standard, so USB 3.0 should be alot better.

I wasn't expecting these hard drives to perform as close to the WD RE4's as they did. These are by far excellent 2.5" drives for a raid system. Excellent read and write speeds

This driver will serve my storage need for a very long time.

Fast, cool

Set up in a family member's computer as backup storage for the ssd in a m-atx case. Will be just as reliable as a 3.5" given all the dog hair and dander this thing is going to subjected to.


Fast installation. The days of initializing and formatting is gone. With DDR4 RAM, it couldn't have taken a minute or two to transfer over 20 gig of data. It's fast and better than expected as a back-up drive with my "built-in" SSD in my new laptop (from Newegg, of coarse). Unbelievable... Now, we'll see if it can last as long as my Windows 95 Seagate (1998) laptop drive (1996 IBM lap.). But, this is unbelievable— fast and easy.


Works like a charm, no problems what so ever

Thin 1 Platter drive for excellent performance In our tests it compared to some desktop models Our tests revealed an average read speed of 96 MB/s an average access time of 17.4 ms and bursts averaging 129.5 MB/s Write speeds were comparable, averaging at 93 MB/s and an access time of 17.1, and bursts averaging 81 MB/s These test were conducted in various pieces of equipment, running various operating systems over a 10 day period

Great drive. Have in my laptop. Anyone tried this in a PS3? would love to know if it works...

This harddisk is the best fit for the Lenovo ideapad 330S-15ARR. Works great and fits with no problems. Had to find a hard disk that would fit in the slot and not be to thick for the case and this one fit perfect.

Fast - great replacement for Dell Studio 1747
