Seagate500GB 3.5" Barracuda Internal Hard Disk Drive/HDD ST500DM002

Purchased to replace an old 80GB Barracuda which expired after almost twenty years of continuous use. Took about five minutes to install and another five to configure and now working just fine. I've had great success with Barracudas and like them a lot -- fast, reliable and totally unproblematic.

Bought this to replace a clapped out old hard drive from my desktop. Cheaper than replacing the whole computer

I bought this hard drive as a replacement for the hard drive in my old PC that had died. It saved me building a new PC which I'll probably do later in the New Year, but for now I'm quite happy with the performance of this new hard drive.

Amazon seems to have put all reviews for this product on the same page regardless of source and supplier. Quite a few reviewers complain of having received a re-cycled disc with some discs even containing old files from the previous user!So there will be no confusion, my order was for a Seagate 500GB, 3.5 inch Barracuda Internal Hard Disk Drive.The one I purchased was sold by Artio International and fulfilled by Amazon. I received a brand new hard drive supplied in manufacturer's anti-static packaging and in perfect working order. It has been running inside my computer for a couple of weeks now with no problems at all.

Not happy.....got it to replace my old one...supposed to be identical.....it lasted 2 weeks before it was full.....don't buy.

It is old kit, but mirror image of what had been running before. Easy to install & up & running straight away.Company was easy to deal & unit arrived ahead of schedule - good valuation all round

I bought this to replace an existing drive and I cloned the drive to this new one which I installed very quickly.after installation I ran the Hard Drive Sentinel application to check the drive and it showed that the drive was only rated at 35% due to multiple surface sector errors.Considering this was a brand new disk i was disappointed and returned it for a full refund.

The hard drive did everything it should unfortunately it didn’t solve the problem with my Freesat set top box. So I bought a new one anyway.Hence I now have two perfectly working drives spare!!
