Momentus Thin 320 GB 7200 RPM SATA 3Gb/s 16 MB Cache 2.5-Inch Internal Notebook Hard Drive (ST320LT007)

Installed this hard drive and reinstalled Windows 10. Everything worked well with no complications. Seems very fast and quiet and all at a great low price!! Would buy another if needed.

Fixed my dad's laptop.

I have not done any documented testing, but the read/write speeds are better than many of the portable USB drive I have bought in the past. This is not a newer drive, so don't be surprised if the dates on the drive are not recent. This is an inexpensive drive so keep that in mind. Overall it is a excellent drive for the money.

Works great

I purchased the item back in March for a Lenovo thinkpad T420 / T430 Windows 7 OS SATA connection and did not get around to actually installing it until now.... did not work! When I installed the hard drive, it was initially unresponsive. I tried installing the seagate firmware to detect the hard drives for installation, but once it finally appeared and I was able to run diagnostics on it, half the tests failed and the drive went back to being unresponsive. After the unsuccessful attempt I took it to a laptop repair guy where I paid to get it installed and they told me what I already knew... it's unresponsive. I now have a "new" hard drive" that does not work! I am disappointed that I waited this long to actually install it because I can no longer return it for refund.

When my laptop, a pretty old Compac nc8430 that I'd acquired at my university's raffle, had its hard drive start to fail in April of last year (2014), I was understandibly frightened. Thankfully, unlike when this happened with my desktop the year before, I did have a means of backing up my data, and somehow I was able to stretch that failing drive for roughly eight more months, backing up weekly all the way. On December 29th 2014, the drive, a Seagate Momentus 90GB 7200RPM HDD as it turned out, finally went kaput. On December 31st, I purchased the Seagate Momentus 320GB 7200RPM HDD. It cost me about $50, which was a fair amount of money on my current bootstrapped budget, but I'd read a LOT of good things about the drive's performance and longivity. Unfortunately, I didn't get the full extent of its performance, I don't think, thanks to the SATA I tech that my laptoip employs, but I'll admit, I still enjoyed it. I didn't get speeds anywhere near 100mbps like I probably should've, given the research I'd done on the data transfer speed capabilities of a SATA I motherboards, but I did enjoy speeds still decidedly above average from other HDDs I'd used in my lifetime, a eraging between 35-50mbps for large files. Booting speeds were what would be expected using a HDD as oppposed to an SSD or an EMMC drive, but again, I didn't have unwarrented expectations, and was quite satisfied with the drive's perfoirmance overall. Unforthately, this past weekend, the drive began to fail. What's more, unlike the previous drive, which was still able to stretch roughly eight (8) months before failing completely, this drive failed within three days. To my understanding, this is a new, unused drive (at least it said "new" when I purchased it, despite it being an OEM purchase). As mentioned prior, the previous drive that was in the computer when I acquired it at the raffle was also a Seagate Momentus, an older 90GB model. Truth be told, the drive's failure came at a frustratingly bad time. I have the data backed up, so that's not an issue. What IS an issue is the fact that it will be at least a month before the job I've acquired at the University I'd recently graduated from will actually begin, and then at least two more weeks before I earn my first paycheck. I literally do not have the money to purchase an additional drive at this time, and I currently need that laptop to fulfill some graphic design and photography projects for members of my church. I know these Momentus drives can last much longer than they are; I've read as much. What's more, I have a trust for the Seagate brand that I don't for most other HDD brands. To my understanding, it's not uncommon for modern HDDs to begin to fail within three to five years, so the fact that this has happened twice in 1.5 years is concerning. I want to believe this to be some form of strange defective unit. I'm currently far past the timetable for returning the drive through Amazon. Forgive me if this sounds unfair or...shady(?), but is it possible I can return the unit to the manufacturer for a replacement unit? I should stress again, this is a good drive. It delivers good performance that can't be matched by average 5400RPM drives, and it's priced at a good and affordable price. This is why I've priced the drive at three stars rather than two stars (if I HADN'T backed up the data, perhaps THEN I'd have rated it at two stars xD). I don't know if it's something with my laptop, if I managed a bad roll of having two defective drives (I suspect age to be the culprit for the first Momentus, TBH) or if I just have the touch of death (lol), but please don't let this review be a decision-maker to NOT get this drive. It's just strange that in my own hands, two of these things have gone out before two years are done...

Working well. Upgrade for my Acer Aspire One netbook. Double disk space from 160GB 5400RPM to 320GB 7200RPM. Primarily use of this machine is word processing. Along with the external LG Slim portable DVD Writer, I can accomplish my document revisions & save to disk.

My son laptop. Great product...

Perfect replacement/backup for my laptop HD; arrived promptly; easy to install; using this as by backup ghost/clone drive in case primary drive fails hard. Seems like a good value.

it's not work

bonne qualité ,prix raisonnable .
