This hard drive cost $350 a few years ago (Maxtor one touch). It died under warranty and they sent me a new one. Got this used drive to repair it for $30. Now I have 2 working 250gig external drives. Nice. Some guy posted install instructions which made it easy to swap the drive. Just make sure you get the right model. I first ordered the wrong one because it had the same name. Has to be an exact match. 7Y250MO.
This is an excellent value. I purchase one for a client with a bad hard drive. It was manufactured in 2005, but was smooth and quiet. It was already formatted NTFS and I partitioned and re-loaded the clients OS. The drive has been functioning perfectly now for a month with no hickups. The age of the drive is really not a big deal as this is an Enterprise Class drive manufactured for servers and high end workstations. I expect it to out last the usefulness of the computer it is installed in.
Excelent size and speed. For the price, there is nothing better. I would recommend the Seagate MaXLine Plus II 250 GB to anyone who wants more Hard Drive space, and is on a budget.
I bought this item so I could have a 2nd hard drive to back up my desktop pc. The first one I was sent, windows told me that it had something like 21,000 sector problems on it. I sent it back and got another one. The second one worked great for about 3 months. I used it to backup my 750gb hard drive. the 3rd time windows backed up to it I started getting a message that my drive was reporting problems and that I needed to back it up befor it crashed. So I took it out and put it on the shelf. It was a waist of money. I bought one now from seagate.
The hard drive I bought on an e-bay auction came perefectlyworking and has been reliable ever since it's installlation which was on the day I recieved it. In fact these words are written thru this hard drive as it is my primary ops drive. I prefer this brand name as they have been reliable for me throughout my pc experiences.
