nate42nd 2/26/2013 4:24:26 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 4/5Decent drive Pros: Lower price Cons: Not the fastest, best, newest drive. Other Thoughts: This is a decent drive. I have an Antec 200 with a front 3.5" drive bay. I plugged this drive into the front of my case (first hooking up the inside power and SATA) and formatted this baby. It worked great from the start. I was copying data in 5 minutes. I have never purchased this brand but I would recommend this drive. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Vector150 2/25/2013 11:11:10 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 1/5It is a seagate Pros: Umm it works but thats about it. Cons: It is slow compared to my WD drives. Bought this for a build, I was doing for my best friend. Was trying to get them out of the stone age. ended up having to buy a WD to finish their build with. This one now stores family photo's. About all it is good for. Other Thoughts: I have never liked seagate. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!

Retro Petro 2/11/2013 10:38:09 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 1/5Defective Firmware Pros: Bought this simply for the controller board to replace a defective board on an old drive. Appears this board is a victim of the infamous BSY defective firmware. Drive will not show up in Windows or even the BIOS. Since I have hacked the new one already I can't replace. Now I have to try and load new firmware through the jumper port which has been problematic. Cons: Defective firmware. According to other reviews, I shouldn't be surprised. Since all I wanted was the controller board, I wasn't too worried about it. Stupid me I guess. Other Thoughts: No reason to buy a $50 refurbished 500GB drive unless you need it for parts. Even then it is obviously a poor choice based on everybody's experience. I would avoid at all costs. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A 2/7/2013 8:18:18 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 2/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 2/5defective? Pros: it works half way. Cons: This thing has to be the noisiest hard drive i have ever heard. It constantly makes a clicking noise like its reading data. but it sounds like a loose needle spinning. checked my case and everything was securely packed. feels a little jaggy. wondering if it was worth the price since there is no refunds.

N/A 1/30/2013 8:54:05 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 1/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 2/5Plain bad. Pros: Good Shiping and arived on time. For that i give 2 eggs. Cons: The HDD did not come Broken like in the rest of the reviews. But whenever i try to install win 7 x64 my new build blue screens and says it had problems reading the cash. And after meny attempts it installed windows 7 just for me to find out that it blue screens when your try to update your drivers/windows updates. All in all just spend the extra 5-10$ for a different 500gig drive. Other Thoughts: Sent it back for a refund :) Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
