I don't think I'd buy a refurb to use as a primary but it's working fine as B/U.

Installed in a few minutes, partitioned, formatted and backed up my system SSD to it; Do the back up once a week and it works like a charm; Granted I don't use it as a primary but I took that into consideration when I purchased it.; Guess I'm just lucky based on the other 2 folks

This is a great drive to use for system boot drive. Seems responsive and quicker than most other 7.2K drives

Fast & quiet

Nice and quite, really fast with Windows 8 installed on it.

Received within 3 days after placing the order but the item turned out to be defective .. I've sent multiple emails to flipkart CS but they didn't responded back to my email queries .. Then I decided to contact them over the phone.

This is the best Hard Drive that I have bought online. And actually best one anywhere. It gets installed quickly and you don't have to be a pc guru to do it. It has instructions and Windows will pick up the dirve very easily.

This is most definately a good product. I have it mated to an Asus board with an AMD phenom Quad core 3400 processor. This drive takes advantage of that and the boot times and program load times are very fast. Would certainly recommend.

My experience with this hard drive is unique. I'm using it with a hard-disk audio recording system... the Alesis HD24. Alesis recently began shipping SATA caddys and this is the first I've used them... this drive is supported and has so far worked to expectation.

Seagate Barracuda SATA 500GB HDD haves most reliable and proven perpendicular magnetic recording technology hard disk can be used in any desktop.

We use this hard drive as part of a hybrid RAID system for our server that services roughly 25 client computers at any one time. We have not had any fail over the course of one year in service.

Out of the six 500 GB drives I ordered as new, when I put them in my servers 3 of them came up as unallocated disk space and did not to be initialized. This told me they were used. The other 3 seemed to be new and were asking to be initialized properly.
