Price, capacity quite sufficient


I use this HDD as a backup for my Acer Aspire V5 notebook. It's a 7mm and thats what I needed to fit. When I bought the HDD it was on sale for $54.99. A day later this same drive came out with a promo code for another $10 off. I called and talked to Newegg about the price reduction and the agent stated as long as the item hasn't been shipped she would honor the new price. Three days later my CC was credited $10. Thanks Newegg!

The hard drives that were sent arrived quickly

No issues with installation and operates as expected.

The drive performed very well when I tested it in my HP Pavilion g7-1150us. Windows 7 x64 Ultimate installed very fast as well as boot up times. I also tested the drive on several external enclosures and SATA/USB adapters and all recognized the drive with no problems. Even through USB the speed/write times were excellent. I did tests copying folders with tons of files as well as single large image backup files. The drive is thin, and also very quiet. The thickness may be something to consider before purchasing the drive as it may not fit correctly or tightly in enclosures or adapters on older laptops. For me, it installed fine on my g7. The benchmarks were able to beat my Hitachi HTS547564A9E384 by an average of 20 MB/s on both read and write. See other thoughts for Benchmarks. This is a great performing drive by Seagate and I highly recommend it.

Good Price for storage amount Fairly quiet Stays Cool It’s been working reliably for about 6 months. Under very heavy usage it gets up to 40 degrees C, that’s good for the tiny box it’s crammed in. Under normal load the temp is around 32 degrees C.




How hard is it Newegg, to list these server class drives under the Internal Hard-Drive section? These are not laptop drives though you insist and have done so for years despite the complaints.




Major upgrade from my original 160GB haha Fits perfectly in my SLim PS3 Great speed (slighlty better load time) ans lots of space

Works great on the PS3 as an external USB drive.


Very fast drive, snap to install. Improved OS boot times substantially. Fujitu (junk) crapped out in my Inspiron 6000 after only 2 years so I bought this guy.
