Customer Review: Blazing Fast and Whisper Quiet
Summary: 5 Stars
This is without a doubt the fastest, quietest drive I've ever installed. Before I purchased this drive I read some unfavorable reviews. I decided to purchase it anyway because I have a great deal of favorable experience with Seagate drives. I've worked in the IT field for years and have installed many drives in various machines. The Seagate brand is my preference.
This item is listed as a "bare" drive" that means it doesn't come with cables, software or instructions. If you've replaced or added a drive before, you don't need the end user packaging. If you're putting it into an older machine as I was, you'll need to make sure you have a SATA port to connect it to. If you have to add the SATA port, you'll probably also need a proper power connection. To upgrade my older machine, I purchased the
Syba SD-SATA-1E1I PCI SATA (1-Port) and e-SATA (1-Port) Card with SIL3512 Chipset PCI SATA (1-Port) and e-SATA (1-Port) Card with SIL3512 Chipset
SATA card to add 2 ports and the
Syba SY-CAB40004 Molex 4-Pin to 15-Pin SATA Power Cable and SATA Data Cable (14 Inches)
Cable for the power conversion/SATA data connection. Both were exactly what I needed for the upgrade.
As of this writing they've been installed and working in this older Windows machine for about a month without incident.
P.S. I found the downloadable Seagate Disc Wizard software to be useless bloatware/Addware. I just used the OS to format the drive.
