Seagate Barracuda Pro Performance Internal Hard Drive SATA HDD 1TB 7200RPM 6Gb/s 128MB Cache 2.5-Inch (ST1000LM049)

So my AM3+ PC fried back in December 2019 from a wrath of god power surge. My neighbor gave me a selection of her old laptops that had various issues, and I was able to get a Sony Vaio working by replacing the failed hard drive with this drive in January 2020. Installed windows 7 Ultimate x64 on it, and so far I have no complaints relating to the drive 7 months later. It was much slimmer than I expected (if I had a connection splitter I could fit two into the laptop), but I was able to install it in the larger drive bay without any hitches. At this time I have no reason to give it less than 5 stars in all categories (although with it in a Sony Vaio I can't exactly test high end gaming use), and the price was very affordable. Being used in a Sony VAIO VGN-FW560F Intel Core2 Duo P7450 @ 2.13Ghz 6GBs Ram 512MB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650 (Sony) Windows 7 Ultimate x64 Thanks to this hard drive the laptop has kept me connected, and able to do some things (like stay sane), but god I can't wait to assemble my gradually collected pc parts for a new Rog Strix x570-E gaming pc inside a Thermaltake Level 20 GT ARGB case. When I do, I will probably leave this hard drive in the Vaio for a back up (and portable) computer.

I liked everything about the transaction, the drive arrived on the date specified, opened and installed, loaded my Windows 11 Pro media creation flash drive and voila, on my way to PC happiness. No problems or difficulties at all, total time including loading windows and all updates to make the drive functional, 2 hours. That includes 56 updates, and the drive is blazing fast, delivers everything the ad said it would and more. FIVE STARS *****

Had this for about a month now! Works great and it cut down my loading time. Very great for the price will def buy again with a higher storage capacity!

Seagate quality and blazing fast speed with no noise.

Drive arrived earlier than expected and was packaged well. HDD was an OEM model and therefore does NOT come with the 5 year warranty OR the 2 year Seagate Data Recovery that the retail version comes with standard. Drive works well in my PS4 and has not had any issues so far. HDD is good as long as you know that it is OEM ahead of time.

I am usually good Seagate drives. Did not disappoint. Have been using this for over a year now. No issues and hardly hear it make any sound.

Bought this for use with a Eufy Homebase 3 for continuous recording. After less than a year, the drive no longer works. Every time I try to view a recording, I have to re-format the drive. This means that you have to erase all the recordings from the drive before you can view. This defeats the purpose of having a hard drive to save recordings. I know the issue is not the home base because I was able to get a new home base and the issue persists. It's been less than a year and have no idea how to get in contact with Seagate for the warranty. When I enter the serial number on the website, it tells me to contact the place of purchase. There's no phone number to call for Seagate. Do yourself a favor and do NOT buy if you plan to use this with a Eufy Homebase 3 for continuous recording.

Wanted to upgrade my laptop and needed speed and storage. Decided to go with an old 128 GB SSD that was stored away for a build. Never used. Put the SSD to run the OS, replacing the slow 1 TB 5,400 rpm HDD and bought this Barracuda Pro drive for storage. Games, applications, mapped folders to it, the works. This one's 7,200 rpm and it's better than the drive it replaces as the original idea was to use the old drive for storage but didn't want to deal with how slow it was. Installation and formatting was super easy and had absolutely no issues thus far. Would totally recommend.

Bon produit de qualité, on peut faire confiance

After I installed this drive into a Sabrent 2.5-Inch SATA to USB 3.0 Tool-Free External Hard Drive Enclosure for a family member, she had problems reading/writing data via her Macbook Pro. But yet, it worked fine when configured as a logical drive on Windows 10. Our solution was to buy a specifically Mac compatible external drive instead. And besides, I was sent the non-Pro model instead - false advertising.

Chegou bem empacotado. Novo. Instalei no PS4 do meu filho e até agora nada a declarar.

L'ho montato in sostituzione di un'altro BarraCuda standard da 1 TB 5400 rpm 6 Gb/s 2,5" su un laptop Lenovo causa settori danneggiati. La differenza si nota: si surriscalda meno ed è con mia sorpresa più silenzioso nonostante il laptop che lo ospita; è anche relativamente più veloce, dato che lo sto rapportando ad un hdd a fine vita, comunque la sigla Pro è nettamente appropriata. Un'ultima ovvietà: se l'uso principale che ne farete sarà di farvi transitare molti dati preferitelo ad un SSD, non partirà a razzo, ma teoricamente sarà più longevo. Non credevo l'avrei mai detto di un Seagate, ma questo lo consiglio.

Works nicely. Will buy another if needed to.
