Review By Bob K (Oakhurst, CA, US) :
I replaced the old 30G in my computer with this, and am very happy. The process went smoothly Seagate provides good instructions and a free cloning utility which is very easy to use. I had to purchase an adapter Ide To Sata HDD Adapter. I tried a cheaper one, but that didn't work out so well. Now I have plenty of room, and my computer performance is noticeably improved. It does make a cute little grunting noises when accessing the drive, but that's OK with me.
Review By M.Taylor ( Florida ) :
This device freed up my computer to run faster. I moved all my windows folders to this data drive and in the process emptied about 1/2 the space on the C: drive. This has resulted in much faster performance on my primary drive. This drive holds a lot of data and can be a good backup to your primary drive. Simply backup windows to this drive and if your primary crashes then you can restore the backup. It installed quickly but took almost 4 hours to do a full format on the drive. It is not a fast access drive but is great for saving pictures, documents, and videos. I have also put most of my games on this hard drive also. When asked where to install the game you simply change the C: in the path to whatever letter is being used for this drive. In my case "C:/program files/GameX/" becomes "E:/program files/GameX/". If your system has the proper amount of memory then this process will start the games a little slower, but improve overall PC performance.
