Seagate Barracuda 1TB Internal Hard Drive HDD 2.5 Inch (6.35 cm) SATA 6 Gb/s, 5400 RPM, 128MB Cache for Computer Desktop PC (ST1000LM048)

PRODUCT REVIEW:- Checked out the drive. Not a refurbished drive. No scratch marks anywhere, seal and hologram intact.- Worked smoothly.- Plugged in, connected, powered up the tower, installed the OS through pen drive... worked perfectly. No hitches whatsoever.- As a product the Barracuda SATA 1 TB internal(PC) HDD worked perfectly. 5 STARS for that.NOTE: Actually a miracle that it worked considering the horrible packing that it came it. (see pictures)Packing and Delivery:- The delivery partner came in the first half of the day which I sincerely appreciate.- Now the fun starts, he came on a honda activa scooter with this HDD and several other products in a - Nylon Gunny Sack. God alone knows how many jerks and falls the sack must have gone through before it reached me.- Absolutely pathetic packing. (see pictures) - Just an amazon cover, with the plastic jacket and an anti static cover. The plastic jacket was punched.. either buffeted in the sack or fallen. No external bubble/paper mache buffer wrap. Or a protective cardboard box.Experience:My heart was in my mouth when I powered up the drive. The packing left me speechless, and this is replacement only product. I was praying when i set up the HDD and powered up the computer that I should not hear the continuous beep that signifies a damaged hard disc. But thanks to the powers of the universe the device functioned as expected.Request to Amazon and the seller:Please pack your products, particularly delicate electronic products like spindle based HDDs properly. How much would it cost you to swaddle in a few layers of bubble warp and a cardboard box? The feedback is a suggestion since the drive worked well. What would be my reaction if the drive had conked off? The torture of phone calls, replacement requests, and if the packing is as bad as it is now, there is no guarantee that the problem will not recur. Please avoid issues when you know things can go wrong. Better to be safe than sorry.Thank you

Packaging by seller was not good at all. Upper hard shell plastics was broken, inside it was properly packed in a plastic which was company sealed. Its little fast then the stock harddisk which comes along with laptop.

Bought this after the Toshiba 9.5 mm 1TB HDD on my 6 month old Acer failed with a mass of bad sectors.Was apprehensive about going for Seagate as I had mixed experiences with the brand, but the 7mm height was a big driver- it meant getting a 2.5 mm headroom for the drive in the Acer which did not have good ventilation for the HDD.The drive itself has pretty good specs, and the 128MB cache does make a big difference in real world use. Its no Samsung EVO SSD, but it comes fairly close to the cheaper SSDs in real world experience. This HDD works quite well in the course of opening multiple apps, which is the best real world test. Normal working is seamless, with Windows 10 and app installations happening quite fast, faster than normal HDDs. The drive is silent.In the poorly ventilated drive bay of the Acer, this HDD works at ~44 deg C, which is ~5 deg C lower than what the 9.5mm Toshiba experienced. I hope this means it will work longer, and the sectors will remain healthy longer.Quite frankly, I prefer this kind of innovation over SSDs. Raw speed is useful only occasionally, but the balance between real-time performance and high capacity with (hopefully) a long HDD life makes much more sense.Go for it.

Best after 6 years use .best never disappoint. No issues at all till

Worked in HP pavilion gaming 5600h laptop. 500 gb SSD was already there and a caddy was there in HDD slot. The laptop was in warranty so it was free of charge from HP care. Don't try to change it yourself. Upgrading Ram by yourself is easy, but never recommend upgrading hdd by yourself.Don't buy other brand. Seagate is reliable.Cost me only 3600. Now the overall space is 1.5 TB .I also upgraded 8GB Ram after ordering from Amazon. Which cost only 1600, that was also originally manufactured by micron technology. Thanks Amazon.

I like the product, easily installable, decent speed when open the hdd drive takes little time to load files, and the delivery package is also very poor, these are very delicate electronics they simply packed in a thin polythene pack and delivered, high chances to get damaged, i request amazon to improve package quality especially these type of items

I have ordered HD online. when i have received the same it was not packaged nicely, it was loosely kept in a cardboard box. As suspected, it didn't work and I had to go to seagate service center for the replacement. Now I have received the replacement and i can see the packaging, it's perfect and ensure no impact during transportation. Online shopping of HD is risky as vendors do not take care of right packaging. It was a task to go to service center for the replacement.

My decade old hp pavilion 15 n-209tx was having read disk error often with no avail bought this. Fits perfectly and value for money.

Atendeu minhas expectativas.

Montato in sostituzione all’originale play station 4 causa rottura. Il montaggio è veramente molto semplice. Dopo aver installato il sistema operativo fornito online, risulta ancora molto performante anche a distanza di anni. È fatto per restare sempre fermo in quanto si danneggia con il movimento quando è acceso. I caricamenti sono leggermente migliori rispetto all’originale ma comunque non si percepisce molto. Consiglio per chi deve sostituire l’originale rotto in quanto il prezzo e contenuto, il montaggio semplice.

o produto veio como anunciado novo mesmo testei com programas achei preço razoavel

Siempre he optado por Seagate debido que nunca me ha fallado, sus productos ofrecen buena relación en calidad costo.

Ho acquistato questo prodotto, qualche tempo dopo aver acquistato un modello praticamente identico, però da 2tb. per il mio portatile. Come scritto nella precedente recensione di quell'articolo, ero pienamente soddisfatto, unica nota negativa era la rumorosità del portatile che era significativamente aumentata, amio avviso in modo un po' inguistificato, per un hard disk. Tuttavia l'articolo va bene, e risponde pienamente alle mie esigenze, così ho deciso di ricomprare l'hard disk di questa marca, in versione da 1tb per migliorare l'archiviazione interna della mia ps4 primo modello. Installazione ovviamente semplicissima, e oltre ad aver avuto un incremeneto dello spazio di archiviazione della play, noto anche un incremenento della reattività di essa, (sebbene avessi gia riempito per l'80% il disco in questione). Questa volta, la rumorosità è praticamente inferiore all'hard disk originale della ps4, favoloso. Azienda seria, dei professionisti del settore.
