I received this drive as a replacement for my previous one that arrived in non working condition. I put this in my 2012 MacBook Pro for data storage. I do a lot of audio editing. The drive has only been in my MBP for two days, but it is working flawlessly. It is fast enough to handle 40 tracks of audio without any problems. It is an amazing value for the price in my opinion.

-Well it looks great for being a non SSD Hard drive -Runs fast -Stays cool -Is very quiet -Price for performance is outstanding!

Fits well in tight space (7mm thin) Great performance

Extremely small form factor. A standard laptop HDD is 9.5mm tall; this one shaves 2.5mm off to become only 7mm tall. If you need an extremely small form factor HDD, this one’s for you. The length and width is the same as other laptop HDDs, so this should fit in your existing laptop or anywhere you have a laptop drive. SmartAlign technology produces 4K sector performance on operating systems that don’t support 4K sectors (Windows XP, for example). This technology won’t matter if you’re using a modern OS such as Windows 8, but it is nice for those who are using a legacy OS. This drive performs as well as you’d expect it to. If you’re using a SATA III compatible system, you’ll get increased performance with this drive as opposed to SATA II. This drive is SATA II and III compatible for both older and newer systems. I installed a fresh copy of Windows 8 x64 on this drive. It only took 10 minutes to install, and other 5 to set up. Simple and quick!

Fast (For a physical drive) Quiet

Using with Intel NUC as media drive. Speed is awesome (100MBps) and it is silent.

Price Capacity

Very good price per GB for the 2.5" form factor compared to other drives on the market. Drive was shipped in a very solid yet impact absorbing air pack to prevent any damage. The drive height is very thin at 7mm and very light compared to my 7 year old 2.5" seagate drive. The drive is also very quiet compared to my older drive, its almost silent to the point I don't even know if its on or not. I used this drive as an external USB drive using a 2.5" USB enclosure. I did have to format, partition, and initialize the drive first in Windows Disk Management before the device would show up in Explorer. After that it was simple plug and play for the drive now. Writing to the drive I got an an average of about 22MB/s for a 3GB file. Read speed was about 31MB/s. This was done on the USB 2.0 standard, so USB 3.0 should be alot better.


As I said in a prior review for a WD I would recommend this drive over a comparable WD. However in some case(s) I would recommend the WD over a Seagate. It really depends on the trade off(s) and so on. The Seagate ran just a tad hotter than I would like. About 12 degree(s) over. At about 111 degree Fahrenheit. That may not seem hot but over the long term will add up. I also had it in a external docking station.

Quiet and smooth Running Drive out of the package. No impact in battery life. Upgraded from Western Digital 320 GB to this.

Performed as advertised. I ordered the "thin" hard drive for a machine that did not require one. Good thing the carrier had no problem accepting the thin drive. I had some concern because I installed the drive into an HP laptop that has only two rubber cups to hold the drive in place, but everything fit and worked just fine.

Everything!! I ordered an SSA drive in error. I wanted an SATA. I contacted E.O.L. Tech and explained. They immediately sent me what I really wanted and trusted I would return the one I bought (which I did). The replacement was done at no charge. People list this are very few and far between.

I was impressed by the speed of this little drive! Seriously I got 110.9 read and 109 write on CrystalDiskMark on a freshly installed Windows 10.


This is a nice 1TB enterprise Seagate drive in a 2.5" form factor. I'm running this drive in a workstation. It came with a 5 year warranty. (Please note, this most likely will not fit in a laptop, if that is what you are seeking to do. It is much taller than a typical laptop drive.) So far, I'm very happy with it.,

Lots of storage space for a small drive. Is moderately fast. Good amount of cache.

FAST quiet and it cloned well what else do you want?

Flawless performance
