Seagate Barracuda Pro Performance Internal Hard Drive SATA HDD 1TB 7200RPM 6Gb s 128MB Cache 2 5-Inch ST1000LM049

So my AM3+ PC fried back in December 2019 from a wrath of god power surge. My neighbor gave me a selection of her old laptops that had various issues, and I was able to get a Sony Vaio working by replacing the failed hard drive with this drive in January 2020. Installed windows 7 Ultimate x64 on it, and so far I have no complaints relating to the drive 7 months later. It was much slimmer than I expected (if I had a connection splitter I could fit two into the laptop), but I was able to install it in the larger drive bay without any hitches. At this time I have no reason to give it less than 5 stars in all categories (although with it in a Sony Vaio I can't exactly test high end gaming use), and the price was very affordable. Being used in a Sony VAIO VGN-FW560F Intel Core2 Duo P7450 @ 2.13Ghz 6GBs Ram 512MB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650 (Sony) Windows 7 Ultimate x64 Thanks to this hard drive the laptop has kept me connected, and able to do some things (like stay sane), but god I can't wait to assemble my gradually collected pc parts for a new Rog Strix x570-E gaming pc inside a Thermaltake Level 20 GT ARGB case. When I do, I will probably leave this hard drive in the Vaio for a back up (and portable) computer. Read more

I liked everything about the transaction, the drive arrived on the date specified, opened and installed, loaded my Windows 11 Pro media creation flash drive and voila, on my way to PC happiness. No problems or difficulties at all, total time including loading windows and all updates to make the drive functional, 2 hours. That includes 56 updates, and the drive is blazing fast, delivers everything the ad said it would and more. FIVE STARS ***** Read more

Bought this for use with a Eufy Homebase 3 for continuous recording. After less than a year, the drive no longer works. Every time I try to view a recording, I have to re-format the drive. This means that you have to erase all the recordings from the drive before you can view. This defeats the purpose of having a hard drive to save recordings. I know the issue is not the home base because I was able to get a new home base and the issue persists. It's been less than a year and have no idea how to get in contact with Seagate for the warranty. When I enter the serial number on the website, it tells me to contact the place of purchase. There's no phone number to call for Seagate. Do yourself a favor and do NOT buy if you plan to use this with a Eufy Homebase 3 for continuous recording. Read more
