Seagate Momentus 5400.6 500GB 2.5" SATA 3.0Gb/s Internal Notebook Hard Drive -Bare Drive

Comment:
I bought this drive to replace the Hitachi 160GB drive in my Lenovo T400 (which was completely filled). I thought that the 160GB drive was silent, but this drive redefined silence for me!It's hard for me to say for sure, but I haven't yet noticed speed to be an issue at all (since it's only 5400rpm), and it feels faster than my old drive.I would certainly recommend this drive, especially at the sale price ($85).

Just bought this to switch it out with the 80gb hard drive in my laptop. Works as expected.

I put this HDD into my laptop to replace my overstuff 100 Gb HDD. Simply used Seagate DiskWizard to copy my partitions over to the new disk. In about 30 minutes, I was up and running. Great drive and capacity for the price.

Put this drive into an enclosure and it works great, it is quiet and doesn't get very warm at all. Performance is great for a 5400 drive, time will tell how it holds up but so far so good.

Just purchased this hard drve to swap my old ps3 60gb and it works GREAT. I read some reviews saying this is a bad product but they are wrong. To make sure you dont get the error message just make sure you put the hard drive all the way in dont be scared to make sure its in and then BAM!! and hard reset it to then smooth sailing. have fun

Purchased this for a replacement in dell xps m1530. System now runs very smooth. No hiccups. Very low noise. Apps now run smoother, but that's mostly due to a new system reinstall. For $80, this is a awesome upgrade for an aging laptop.

I would love this drive if it was inside my laptop or something, however, I got this drive for my PS3 and it was a big mistake. I took the risk even though people say don't get this drive for the PS3. Learn my mistake, found out some games spike because of this drive. I know because I've had a 250GB Seagate before this one and that one did not spike so I know it wasn't my PS3 having problems but the drive.

Bought this as a mobile hard drive (not for notebook internal system drive) and it fits perfectly in an NexStar 3 NST-260SU-BK (or other colors will also do) 2.5" hard drive enclosure without using additional power cable. For less than $80, a good deal to DIY a roomy mobile storage. File transferring is still quite fast via usb 2.0. Not difficult to imagine that it will be really fast transferring files via eSATA.

Great price, decent feature, but from the first day, the hard drive is making a lot of strident noises. I hown a WD 3 years old PATA external 2.5 hard drive and he is as fast has this SATA HD on usb 2 (about 10mb/sec)

i recently purchased this product for my hp-dv7-1245dx laptop and the laptop ran smoother than bowling lanes

I bought this to replace the stock 120GB drive that came with my MacBook. I used SuperDuper! and an external USB drive case to copy everything from my old drive to the new one. Everything worked out great. No problems so far. The new drive is very quiet, runs cool and feels a little faster.

Just purchased this hard drve to swap my old ps3 80gb and it works fine. I read some reviews saying this is a bad product but they are wrong. To make sure you dont get the error message just make sure you put the hard drive all the way in dont be scared to make sure its in and then BAM!! smooth sailing.

Bought this to put into an external enclosure. Offers good capacity in a small size. When in use, the case feels only slightly warm and drive noise is minimal. Read/write speeds are higher than with my OCZ Rally2 flash drive. Would buy again

Bought this to replace an 80gb in my mom's laptop on sale for $99. Since it's a seagate I was able to use discwizard to clone the disc, and everything went off without a hitch. So far it's been nice and quiet, with reasonably fast access speeds.

If you have a BIOS that will allow a very large drive then get it. It is fast enough and the 8 MB Buffer and the slower spin speed doesn't seem to slow it down. This is the largest notebook drive that I have ever bought and it is now spinning happily in an Acer notebook using Vista Home Basic. If that isn't a good test then I don't know what is. I gave it four stars on Features and Performance, mainly because the specs on it. You can pay more, and most likely gain a bit of transfer performance, but I am quite happy with this one. Again Thanks for the prompt shipping and delivery...also the good value.

This drive fits perfect inside the PS3, upgraded my 80GB drive to 500GB, after the PS3 formats the drive you are left with 412GB of free space. I can't comment on the performance or longevity since I just installed it, but it should be fine its just a hard drive nothing fancy. I have purchased other seagate products in the past and never had a problem

Comment:
It really worth it.

I urgently needed a drive today so I settled on this one to replace my stock 160 GB Hitachi that came with my MBP a year ago. I really wanted the Seagate 500 GB 7200.4, but apparently everyone else on the planet does too; they simply aren't any in stock ANYWHERE (neither was the 320 GB version today)! For anyone on the fence about this drive, I'm very happy with it: fast and ABSOLUTELY silent, and I mean ABSOLUTELY. In fact, when I first powered on my MBP after I'd replaced the drive, it was so quiet I thought there was something wrong (until all the familiar stuff came up)!! I was totally amazed. The stock drive I had before was probably the quietest I've ever had...until now. No vibrations at all either! Well done, Seagate! You've won me back. Thanks for the price drop  too, NCIX!

A very good price for half a terabyte in a small hard drive.It replaces the Hard drive in the Toshiba very nicely. It also works well in an external enclosure.Because of the huge capacity, massive data loss could be a problem. Would suggest a backup copy of all files stored on this drive in case of disaster. It would definitely be more than a minor loss.

This feedback is for Seagate Momentus 5400.6 ST9500325AS Mobile Hard Drive - 500GB, 2.5'', 5400RPM, 8MB, SATA-300. After 5-day nonstop use, it is quiet and cool in my Dell Insprion 9600. I recommend it as the best of cost-effective unit.

I purchased this drive to replace a 100GB drive and it's awesome! Hopefully I don't fill this one for a while!!!
