Seagate ST9160821A-RK 160 GB Ultra ATA 2.5-Inch Internal Hard Drive Reviews

Summary: Almost A Perfect Hard Drive!
Comment: I have been using this drive for almost a year now, and it has performed very well. It is speedy, quiet, and worked straight out of the box. Migrating from my old hard drive was also a breeze thanks to Seagate's DiscWizard tool.
The only niggle that I have is the drive's power-saving feature which I find too aggressive. It spins down after 2-3 minutes of inactivity. As a result, when you are typing a document for example, and need to access a file on the drive, you will find a temporary lag as the drive spins up again to allow you to do so. This power saving feature appears to be an in-built function of the drive, and works independently of the power settings in Windows.
If you are considering to purchase this drive, try to get hold of the ST9160821A-RK model (shown here) and not the ST9160821A. The difference is in the last two characters; the former is sold as a Retail Kit and comes in a well packed and sealed Seagate box, whilst the latter was meant for OEM distribution and is often sold with just bubble wrap packing. Those who bought the OEM ones often had various reliability issues, because the drive itself was damaged during shipping.

Summary: Easy and fast to install
Comment: I really needed a hard drive upgrade for my laptop. It is very easy and fast to install, once you know what are you doing. So for that reason I search some videos in youtube on "How to install". After 15 minutes (watching the video included), the new hard was installed on my laptop. Now I am really happy because the drive it's very quiet and fast.
