Upset and disappointed, product is very bad!

I purchased an HP 630 laptop equipped with this hard drive. From the very beginning, windows loaded for about 5 minutes. After six months of using SMART, the indicators show a warning on calibration retry count, current pending sector .

Visually, windows takes about 15 minutes to load, sometimes the disk blocks IO and the whole system "freezes" for a couple of minutes.
Bad winchester, however, like all Seagate products

Pros

Normal laptop hard drive

Cons

Started to fail after 6 months of use

New products

Pros: if the hard drive dies before the end of the warranty the merits are unimportant. Different cons: died seven months later, the surface was covered with troubles.
