Good capacity/cost ratio

2.5" 500gb HD. fast shipping. everything was perfect. works like it should. migrated my system to it and booted right up. no issues

Plenty of storage, runs fast, easy install

• A nice little drive. Very easy to install (just SATA and power), very fast, and very quiet in daily use. I had no problems installing, configuring, or testing this drive in my Windows 10 Lenovo laptop or my custom-built desktop PC. • Virtually weightless, so it won't make your laptop any heavier. • Regarding power usage, the 5400 RPM spindle speed won't kill your battery as much as the 7200 RPM that other drives have. Seagate claims .45W idle power usage and 1.7W power usage during read/writes, both of which are good numbers for a non-SSD drive.

easy to setup and no configuration do to. just followed simple instruction from sony to setup the ps4 with new harddrive, sped up the console quite a bit also but more on the OS side than ingame, loading time are still a bit faster.

Dependable drive. Works fine.

cheep & reliable

If you are familiar with what an average notebook 5400 rpm speed is like, then be ready for a surprise. The Seagate solid state hybrid hard drive is miles ahead in term of speed. All my applications load I would say about 40%-60% faster. Wait time is non-existent with this hard-drive (literally). Boot time is about 25 seconds compared to 2 minutes by an average hard drive. Internet explorer load in 10 seconds compared to 1 minute and 30 seconds. My notebook load the wireless connectivity in 15 seconds compared to 2 minutes. You probably won't believe my stats. No problem, just when you buy it you would be the many witness to its speedy performance.

This Samsung Spinpoint M9T 2TB is a fantastic little drive for the price. Of course, when I say little, I only mean in physical size, becasue you get a ton of storage. Before we go any further, we may as well get the numbers out of the way. All of these tests were performed on the test hardware listed in "Other thoughts".

While some of the numbers are not as impressive as other drives on the market, those other drives are also don't offer 2TB of capacity. So the trade off makes a lot more sense when you take that into account. It also pays to mention that this drive never draws over 3W during operation, and it idles under 1W. I don't have the tools necessary to give exact power draw numbers that are more specific. It's low power draw is a huge plus for mobile use. During my testing, I put the drive under a host of "real world" use to see how it would perform on common tasks most users would likely do. I had no problems playing back HD video from the HDD while still performing other general tasks. Game load times are what you would expect from such a drive. It also had no problems keeping up with multi-tasking. At no time did the drive feel "slow", it performed as expected, and better in some cases. A credit to the

It is a little bit thinner than the standard, not really noticeable but definitely measurable. It's also a bit lighter. It's fast for a laptop hard drive being 7200 RPM whereas the standard for 2.5" drives is 5400 RPM. You will notice the difference in transfer speeds. It has a 32MB cache which is double what most drives at a similar price point offer. Seagate makes good quality drives lately so no worries there.

works in my new PS4, Price was reasonable for the storage

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.


Decent performance and good storage for the price. Item was exactly as described and solved my problem with a recently failed much smaller hard drive.

-This drive arrived extremely well packaged from Newegg. -1 TB capacity -Drive runs quiet and cool. -Price point

Works without issue as per my usual experience with Western Digital

Great little drive use as a secondary back up dirve

Easy to install

Works great, no issues for one year now.
