As soon as I replaced my old 250gb 5400rpm toshiba hdd from my macbook with this seagate momentus I've noticed that the new hdd was a little bit noisier than the older.
You cannot feel any vibration produced by the old toshiba model but seagate's are noticeable.

| I brought this hard drive to upgrade my laptop that I'd just purchased. It runs nice and quite. Now I don't have to worry about hard drive space or any of the things related to having smaller and slowwer hard drive. Now I'am busy putting all of my little projects on my laptop and sorting them out. The size of the hard drive space lends itself to partionning too. |

Just an excellent product!!
I've always preferred the Seagate brand over the other, and until today I was not mistaken.
Now my IBM ThinkPad T60 works faster than before, the HDD is quiet and almost no heating.
Thank you!!! |

| Easy to install in laptop .. used Maxblast5 from the Seagate website to 'clone' my old C drive - make sure to use a boot disk that you create from the Maxblast5 menu to clone the C drive otherwise you may get a 'blue screen'. This disk is faster than the old drive but it does run a little warmer. |
Any cheap harddisk over 320GB is unreliable by definition

Any cheap harddisk over 320GB is unreliable by definition
Due to Physics - Quantum Mechanics, and Chemsitry - Material Science. I am a professional engineer. IMO & as yo may find in many research articles, anything as dirt-cheap as this drive at 320GB in 2.5" formfactor is doomed to be unreliable.
Because data density for this small platter is so high (over 125GB per platter), that it's finally reached to maximym after which drive's firmware starts to heavily rely on ECC or other error correction methods. Your data is on a brink of breaing inreadable reliably.
If your lif eor business depend on ahrdisk which for most people it is, spend mor emoney on "business class" or "mission-critical" type of drives if over 320GB for laptops, or over 500GB for desktops. If the harddisjk is below 320GB maybe a mainstream, cheap drive is still OK. People want MORE and more capacity, but not iwlling to pay more, the cost squeeze forced manufacturers to spew out hese junk drives to the market. They're nto reliable. My old 80GB drive lasted 4 years and still goign strong, but 500GB drives people report dying within a year, a month and some report weeks of oepration before failure. And not the fatal failure you only know AFTER a long time your date already started being comprimized, by this diskdrive's firmware relyign on ECC instead ofn normal, quality read/write.
You should see what our analyzer shows when data is flyign from the outer edge od large consimer harddisks like 500GB+ - it's awful. It shows monstrous number of errors being corrected by Firmware, which is a bad sign which means your data is going to be lost one day or another. |
