Great item
I needed a new hard drive because mine was giving me indications that it was slowly on it's way out. So I bought this for affordability and the the fact that it doubled what I currently had. More >>

Item arrived on time, working as advertised
Originally intended to put it in an older laptop that wasn't working. Unfortunately it was the laptop that was broken, not the original HDD as I had thought. More >>
