Question 1

This drive 5TB 2.5" Seagate is defined as "Laptop Internal Hard Drive" - not only on Newegg, but on the Seagate website as well. Yet, I cannot find a single laptop that has a 15mm high bay so the drive can fit. Anybody knows of a laptop that I can fit the drive as internal?

Accepted Answer

This perfectly fit my Acer Predator G9-793.  Took 2 minutes to install, the bay for it was clearly designed to accommodate this thick internal laptop drive. 5Tb in a laptop!!! woohoo! and dirt cheap.

Question 2

will this fit in a MSI GE62 Apache Pro-004 15.6" Laptop ?

Accepted Answer

I'm not sure about the specs on the MSI but when I bought this drive I overlooked that it has a height of 15mm. That's twice as thick as the drive that I had in my laptop at the time. I just wanted this drive for an external case but it wouldn't fit the ones I had. I had to buy a larger one.

Question 3

is this 5TB 2-1/2" HDD compatible with the DELL G5-5590 gaming laptop?

Accepted Answer

Even if it was I would not use it.  Purchased 12 of these had 50% failure in 60 days.  Could not get them replaced.

Question 4

Will this fit a 17.3inch Msi GP75 10SFK?

Accepted Answer

It did not fit my MSI GT75, however, did fit my Acer. So probably not would be my guess.

Question 5

Will this fit in an ASUS ROG GL753VE?

Accepted Answer

It is thicker (15mm) than a normal 2.5" internal laptop drive, so it may not fit.  Check your specs carefully

Question 6

Will it fit in a 2010 Mac Book pro?

Accepted Answer

Not linely. It is 15mm thick meant for bad or tower. Laptops are typically 7 or 9  mm allowance

Question 7

Can the 5TB fit in the ASUS ROG G751JT-CH71?

Accepted Answer

I have an Asus ROG GL502VS-DB71 and it would not fit in the position for a secondary drive. This drive is very thick. I am deployed to Iraq and use it as an external drive to hold all my media for the boring down times. It is about as thick as two regular drives stacked on top of each other. It has held up to the all the abuse here so I would recommend it as an external drive but would advise getting a good cover to carry it around in when not in use.

Question 8

Will this fit in an MSI GP75 Leopard?

Accepted Answer

The Seagate 5TB BarraCuda hard drive is thicker than standard laptop HDDs with a 15mm z-height. It may not fit in all laptops due to its size.

Question 9

Is this the retail version of ST5000LM000?  I'm looking for the fully warranted new 5TB drive.  There are a number of companies shucking these drives from seagate's external drives.  And they are not the same drives and seagate does not warranty drives pulled out of their external products.  The shucked drives have a high failure rate.  Thanks.

Accepted Answer

This is a bare drive, not a retail version, and there is no mention of a warranty for this product.

Question 10

are these drives brand new or re certify or refurbish?

Accepted Answer

The product packaging is described as 'Bare Drive', which typically indicates a brand new product.
