Everthing promised and no disappointments! Highly recommended!

First class! Everything it was stated to be. The 1TB hard drive was faster, had a larger cache but was otherwise physically identical to my older smaller 750 gig Seagate drive which was reporting imminent failure. Once installed the Windows 7 Experience Index rated this 1TB drive at 5.9 while my older 750 gig Seagate Barracuda was only rated a 5.4. The available download of the Seagate software to clone the existing smaller hard drive (in my case, the software can use any size hard drives) was simple to obtain off the internet Seagate Site, easy to use and functioned faster than my older software (EZ Clone) which was not compatible with the newer Seagate Hard drive. The Seagate software does look to see if you are using a Seagate product so be warned. In operation all functions are transparent, with no changes in observable performance other than the larger drive size. Only time will tell about durability, but the built in check program will allow you to recognize that there is a failure imminent and give you time to save your complete data and operating system.Read full review
