LOWEST PRICE

In Laptop Internal Hard Drives

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.

Even though its thinner than the orig drive the bracket took care of that and it lined up exactly. Loaded windows 7 then the drivers and it works fast and no issues.

This is a nice 500gb laptop SSHD, it has nice speed and access times. This made a perfect extension drive for my xbox one, and loads and runs games and apps seemingly faster than than the stock hard drive inside the xbox one. The price is reasonable for a faster than stock performing drive. It is small and I like that I began using laptop drives and SSD's, SSHD's in all my computer builds now, they take up less space and look much nicer in a PC with a side window then the big clunky 3.5 inch hard drives. This works great installed into a USB 3.0 external enclosure, and transfer times, read times, access times, are nice and fast. This is a great little SSHD made by a great company Seagate, and is very useful for any laptop, desktop, adding it as an extension or media drive for xbox one, and as a replacement drive in a playstation 3 or playstation 4.
