    It is good. I have had it for 6 years and it still works. It is slow, I knew that when I bought it, because it was 5400 RPM. Now, with almost daily use and after putting games on it, it works just fine. Only when downloading do you notice the difference in speed compared to a better HDD. Also, it is not silent; when it writes something you can hear it—not very much, but it is definitely not silent.

    Bad experience unfortunately. It went into a laptop and after a year and a half it crashed. Very little time if you consider that the previous disk that was inside lasted 8 years.

    I have been using it for 4 years on a laptop, it doesn't understand anything after a lot of daily use, it is quite fast for an HDD, it will do your job comfortably, it is also very small and fits everywhere. Recently, it was installed in a new PC because an SSD was installed in the laptop and it worked fine, it's just not suitable to be your operating system on it, for everything else, it's perfect

    It was purchased to replace a 120gb ŴD disk on a friend's laptop, which had been in continuous operation for a total of 2 years. Let's hope that the new disk will last longer.

    The best choice for a 2.5" hard drive. It may not be the fastest, but it won't disappoint.
