- Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2024I was a bit skeptical at first given how inexpensive this hard drive was, but I'm pleasantly surprised by how well it's been working so far. It was well-packaged and easy to set up, and I've had no issues with performance. The transfer speeds are solid, and it’s handled all my storage needs without any problems. For the price, this is an absolute steal! So far, so good!
- Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2024works well, zero hours on drive, used for storage on a desktop pc
- Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2014This has become my drive of choice for a C: drive. On this order I am using them as a clone back-up (clone 1 & clone 2 ) for a small business owner. That way they only loose 1 days worth of the work at best. It also gives them 2 chances to get back up and running with less stress.
Data back-ups are done on another larger internal Seagate drive.
This is not being used as a 24/365 runtime drive. That said, I can not find a really good reason to move up to the WD Black drives that would be a choice for 24/365 constantly on & high demand usage.
Conclusion:
Best drive for speed, durability, and price.
Will be buying more.
Amazon is my choice as a vendor. 5 (five) STARS TO AMAZON

- Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2013last seagate purchased was a 20mb unit for $350.00 proprietary for apple computers 1982 approx.. they've come a long way
since the early days. So far this unit is working perfectly but we will have to wait and see in a couple of years if its still workin ok.
I'm using it as a backup drive for my main HD's in a two bay backup box from ineo.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2013We had issues with FedEx.....not with New World IT...... Who has a first class Customer Service Department., and were very understanding of my frustration at being based in the UK with my girlfriend (who the product is for) in the USA. and would have offered a real solution to the missing product. I can only apologise for my bad tempered outburst on here.....that should have been totally directed at FedEx
I feel in the light of such a dismal delivery service that companies need to give a clear option to have a "sign for only/or return to sender " option on product delivery. .
I have removed my early comments as they were not appropriate to the seller or to the actual product....both of which are 1st class.
13/12/2013 PS...... This company's Customer Service Department is a credit to the company. Other trader's on Amazon would do well to review their company policy and improve their after sales service using This company as a fine example of how to meet the customer's needs. I can not rate them above the 5 star rating.... but if I could, they have earned a 10 Gold STAR RATING for excellent service.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2017I paid about $35 for this drive In July, 2017, in a sealed, clear vacuum-sealed plastic package, probably sealed at the Seagate factory. Many, many folks don't need any more than 200 GB, or even 120 GB, unless they are heavy into video, 10,000 songs, etc. I advise against buying a used drive without knowing how many hours of operation it has on it. I was looking for a new 200GB drive for our daughter's music-hungry PC. (She had topped out with a 120GB drive). This 500GB drive was the closest new drive I found at a reasonable price. I installed it, copied Win10 and user files from the old hard drive and everything has been good. Be aware when purchasing NOS (New Old Stock) that the manufacturer's warranty for hard drives usually starts on the day the drive was manufactured so when buying a 3+ year old new drive, there is probably no manufacturer's warranty left. Buy from a seller that give his/her own warranty.

あえて悪い点を言えば、少し起動が遅くロゴが出るのが遅いかなと感じる程度です。
※ 当方メモリ8G、Core i7 を積んでおり、マザボ動作ともに関係無いと思われます。
