Set up in a family member's computer as backup storage for the ssd in a m-atx case. Will be just as reliable as a 3.5" given all the dog hair and dander this thing is going to subjected to.

Fair Price Exact Fit for HP Envy Laptop

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


My grandson helped me order this Hard Drive and when it came he put it in for me and set up my computer for me. I a very happy grandma now.

Fast, Reliable, and Quiet. This drive so far has surpassed everything the original 500G drive offered that it replaced. Even though this drive is only 5400RPM, the density of the data on the platters allow it to have a very fast Sequential Read and Write performance of 150Mb/s+ and an improved Random Read and Write over even a 7200RPM 500G HDD. A 1TB 7200RPM drive may give it a run for it's money in the Random R/W benchmarks, but if you are transferring large files to/from the drive, this drive should give it a good race. One other benefit of it being a 5400RPM drive is it remains nearly silent in operation and runs cooler to boot.



Good capacity/cost ratio

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.,
