Summary: A great drive...with a lot of noise
Comment: This drive has been working great for the month I've had it so far. But, as other reviewers have noted...this drive can be noisy. At first, I didn't have this problem when I had the drive in my USB enclosure. However, when I put the hard drive in my Dell machine, I had to mount the drive on its side...and that's when I heard the noise. You can hear the data accesses...even with the side of the case on. Thankfully, I usually have some music on in the background so it's not very noticable.

Overall, it's been a great drive; however, I'd recommend trying to mount the drive flat instead of on its side.

Summary: A good 500GB hard disk
Comment: This is an OEM version which doesn't come with cable and screws. It worked in my Netgear Readynas Duo flawlessly. The 5 year Seagate warranty is so good that I don't need to worry about long term reliability. I have two of them in the DUO on Raid 1. So it's next to impossible to lose data and money with the warranty, LOL. It gets warm but not hot compared to other hard drives I had. I highly recommend it if you can get one at a good price.

Summary: Great hard drive
Comment: This is a great price for a SATA 500 gigabyte hard drive. Be warned - it comes with no supporting documentation, nor does it come with a SATA cable. But the installation instructions are readily available at the Seagate website, and a SATA cable can be had for 6 or 7 bucks. In addition, you'll need to buy a hard drive cradle or caddy that fits your particular hard drive bay. Installation was pretty easy for me - plug the cable into one of my two SATA ports, hook up the power tab from the computer's power supply, and bang - you're in business with the most affordable hard drive of its type. Note - I've heard some people complain that the drive is noisy. This was the case for me at first - because the SATA cable I used had a rather bulky connector which stuck out from the hard drive and made contact with the computer case. The case itself amplified the hard drive noise. A little pad of thin rubber solved the problem completely. Keep in mind I use my computer as a digital audio work station on which I produce a radio show - so any noise would be a real problem when I record from my microphone. It's not been an issue thus far.
