Laptop Thin 500 GB 7200RPM SATA 6 GB/s 32 MB Cache 2.5 Inch Hard Disk Drive (ST500LM021)

Works great in my Eufy Homebase, with two S4 cameras. I could never get an SSD to work right (I’ve tried Samsung, Crucial, and Western Digital), and every one of them worked for a couple of hours, and completely bricked themselves unusable. There was no recovering any of them. Luckily, the manufacturers honored their return policies, so I got my money back. Who would’ve known that an old hard drive was a perfect solution? I figured such a modern product would support an SSD just fine, but I suppose not! If you have an Eufy Homebase, buy this instead of an SSD. It will save you a lot of troubles.

Good Product

Did its job: Backup for long term files. Great price-performance gadget.

Pros: very slim, good cache for a non-hybrid driveCons: kinda pricey for a HDDBenchmark Results:-----------------------------------------------------------------------CrystalDiskMark 3.0.3 x64 (C) 2007-2013 hiyohiyoCrystal Dew World : http://crystalmark.info/-----------------------------------------------------------------------* MB/s = 1,000,000 byte/s [SATA/300 = 300,000,000 byte/s]Sequential Read : 118.859 MB/sSequential Write : 117.474 MB/sRandom Read 512KB : 28.417 MB/sRandom Write 512KB : 56.697 MB/sRandom Read 4KB (QD=1) : 0.503 MB/s [ 122.8 IOPS]Random Write 4KB (QD=1) : 0.790 MB/s [ 192.8 IOPS]Random Read 4KB (QD=32) : 0.992 MB/s [ 242.2 IOPS]Random Write 4KB (QD=32) : 0.795 MB/s [ 194.0 IOPS]Test : 1000 MB [C: 26.3% (122.0/464.8 GB)] (x5)Date : 2014/05/17 12:22:16OS : Windows 8.1 [6.3 Build 9600] (x64)Why this:Got it as a replacement for an old WD 500gb 5400rpm that came in the laptop after it failed. Worked just fine from the beginning, windows re-installed without a hitch, and the performance is much better than the drive it replaced. Of course, its not nearly the performance of a SSD, but at the time of purchase, a 500 GB SSD was 4-5 times the price.

After buying a refurbished Dell Inspiron E5410 laptop computer, which had a Seagate Momentus 180 GB 7200 RPM hard drive with 3GB/S SATA interface and 16 MB of cache, I wanted more speed and performance. For less than 40 bucks, this drive was a solution that was dramatically less expensive than a solid-state drive. Connecting this drive temporarily to a USB 3.0 SATA controller attached to my computer, I used Macrium Reflect Free Edition software to clone the internal 2.5" disk drive to this one. Then I removed the laptop's old internal drive and replaced it with this drive. This drive was slightly thinner but since it is secured to its enclosure by two screws and the computer's SATA connector, the thinner size presented no installation problem.The faster SATA interface and larger cache of this drive, gave my old Dell Inspiron E5410 a faster boot now than it did with the smaller, slower drive. Using Windows partitions, I expanded the usable space on this drive; enabling the computer to utilize its full formatted capacity. The entire process took less than an hour and resulted in a better performing computer with more than twice the available hard-drive storage space. The so-called Prime two-day delivery actually took five days.

The first one I ordered didn’t work, but the replacement has worked flawlessly.

Fast shipping & nicely packaged. Being UPS, the packaging was a concern ahead of time. Arrived probably close to 90% unblemished box. And the drive was pristine. Installed in my Mom's Dell computer pretty quickly and installed Linux Mint without hassle.

Ordered this from Amazon Warehouse Deals for about 10% less than the new price listed on Amazon. I couldn't find any blemish on the item (as the description stated), but it might as well have been totally new.I ordered this for my ASUS T200 transformer book. It has the option for a HDD in the docking bay, so I chose this one over a pricier solid state drive. I really don't know why people are so afraid to buy hard drives these days. SSD's cost 2x as much for 1/2 the storage. I know there are pros and cons, and if I were running a performance PC, I would probably opt for a SSD, but with high speed internet, cloud storage, online backup options, etc., there's not really the fear factor for losing stuff these days as there was 10 years ago.About this drive: I installed it in about 3 minutes, booted up my PC, formatted it in Windows 8, and the whole process took less than 8 minutes. It's been humming along quietly ever since. Transfer times are as expected, and this drive weighs very little. I am happy with the price, and the performance.

livré en bonne état

Buen producto a un gran precio

調子の悪いガラポン録画機のハードディスクをこちらに交換しました。お陰様で調子良く使えています。

algo más rápido al ser 7200 en lugar del 5400 que llevaba original mi macbook, fácil de cambiar y gran capacidad de almacenaje!

Impossible de l'utiliser. non reconnu par Windows, linux et même Dos. C'est pour dire !
