Review: Great stuff. PS3 - I have a 60 gig ps3 and it quickly got full, as each game played created a large file. Games such as oblivion and fallout create data files of about 5 gig. I decided to get a replacement drive, 500gb drive (465 actual capacity due to conversions from bytes to gigabytes). I was unsure whether to go for Seagate or Western Digital, both are reputable and reliable hard drive manufactures, and specification there are very similar (noise, vibration etc) so a coin toss would suffice in deciding between them. I based my decision on pretty much the fact that it was slightly cheaper then WD hard drive and carries a 5 year warranty rather then Western Digital 3 year. Also the fact that most models of the PS3 use Seagate hard drives. There has been mixed responses of how easy people found it to replace the hard drive. I personally didn't find it easy at all. The principle of doing it is straightforward. But on accessing the hard drive compartment your met with brutally tight screws. The screws are so tight that it is extremely easy to round the screw heads off, the frustration is immense (it seems that the screws are made from a slightly more rigid form of bluetac). A tip is to initially buy a screwdriver with a large handle (approx size phillips head no.0) if the unforgiving screws still don't want to release the hard drive you can do what i was forced to do. Carefully get pair of pliers tightly grip and twist the screw (lefty loosy, righty tighty :O) until you hear a quite loud crack (don't worry its not the hard drive) which signifies the screws releasing the hard drive. Once the new hard drive is slid into the compartment put the screws back in, it is not necessary to have them tight, just need them to effectively secure the hard drive and prevent it moving.
Review: Easy when you know how? - I bought this 500GB drive to replace the functioning but full 160GB Samsung unit in my Dell Inspiron 6400 laptop. I had never done this before and was a bit apprehensive, so I thought I'd share my experience. First I slotted the Seagate drive into a Lupo 2.5" SATA usb caddy (£4.99 from desertcart) and did a full NTFS format, partly to be reassured that there were no errors or bad sectors on the disk. I then installed Seagate's Discwizard software, easily downloaded free on the internet, intending to clone the original drive onto the new drive in the caddy. Here I hit a problem. Discwizard reported that there were no Seagate or Maxtor drives on the system and therefore refused to run. The reason for this, I think, is that Windows saw the caddy as a "Generic External USB device" and couldn't identify the drive inside it. Anyway after much searching I came across a thread in a Seagate forum which gave a workaround for the problem, i.e. when the error message comes up, hold down Alt and type t and o, then click OK and the programme runs. From here on it was plain sailing, just choose Clone Disk from the Tools menu and follow the instructions. The cloning of the drive, old to new, took around 3 hours, and it copied all the partitions including Dell's "Media Direct." When this was complete it only remained to remove the old drive and replace it with the new one. The laptop then booted up normally, although there was a short-lived glitch when my version of Windows 7 was thought to be non-genuine, but this soon disappeared and all now seems to be well. Of course the durability of the new drive is yet to be proven, but during its time in the thin aluminium caddy it was quiet and got only slightly warm, and my impression in the laptop is that it seems quicker than the old one. I don't know why this should be so, as they are both 5400 rpm drives, but I'm not complaining.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 60gb to 500gb in 5mins :)
*by M***I on 21 November 2010*

I'm happy enough with this seagate hard drive. I purchased it to upgrade my 60 gb hard drive on my PS3, I now have acres of space on my Ps3 to download any games/expansions without being constrained by a lack of available space. The process itself to change the hard drive on the pS3 was simplicity itself. Simply a case of removing a little black flap,one blue screw,sliding the h/drive to one side extracting it from the ps3 and swapping the old h/d with the new one in the h/d caddy. You will require a PZ0 or a PH0 screwdiver to undo the small screws properly without stripping them. Once the new drive is properly in place and you start up the PS3 the machine automatically detects it and offers to format it for you. I then copied across all my saved games and files from an external hard drive that I'd backed up my data to and then I was away. The reason why I'm withholding a star is because this hard drive doesn't seem to function particularly well with BBCi Player. There is distortion on playback that wasn't existent on the original drive. Beyond that the drive is working well and offers me all the space I require for gaming, which is what I primarily intended it for.
