This product fit my computer well, everything was fine until I turned it on. It came with the operating system called LINUX. I never heard of this system before. I was expecting the hard drive to be BLANK so I could install the operating system of my choice. It seems to be permanently installed and I could not over ride it to install WINDOWS 7. I have no choice but to use LINUX as the operating system.

i am reviewing this product in used/refurbished condition. i am an amatuer with computer repair. i had an older Dell computer with a bad hard drive and didn't wish to spend a lot on repair. i purchased 3 used/refurbished hard drives on Ebay from different vendors, the first was like the one shown, it didn't work, the vendor promptly refunded my money, the second also did not work, the vendor claimed i broke it. the third hard drive works well, (as shown). i think the product is good, but caution needs to be taken when buying this product used or refurbished, and even though it is a simple process to replace this item, there is more to it than that, you may need to purchase a new operating system, (xp, vista etc.), possibly even an adapter, and it is a bit tricky getting things back up and running, mine took a trip to my local computer store.Read full review
The Seagate SATA drive with it s 8 meg cache and high transfer rates make it a very good drive. I have had all the other major brand names and some that were not and this is my most dependable drive. Have the standard IDE also. It would be perfect if the SATA drives could be mirrored off your original, but that is my only complaint. It is a SATA problem, not Seagate. I would recommend it for a raid 0 solution personally.
I bought this hard drive because I wanted the faster response time with the 7200 RPM disk speed. I probably would have gone with a larger capacity but the price was right and didn't really need the extra capacity. Overall, I'm satisfied with the hard drive.
