Review on ๐Ÿ’พ Seagate 500GB Laptop HDD SATA 3Gb/s 8MB Cache 2.5-Inch Internal Drive Retail Kit (ST905003N1A1AS-RK) - Reliable Storage Solution for Laptops by Mike Cody

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great for speeding up and no heat gain

Bought this solely for PS4 use, they come with standard 5400rpm drives and wanted to stay at that speed due to heat issues (since Sony puts a PSU in the console, that's very hot). In terms of characteristics, it is very similar to a 7200 drive and costs a lot. I've had no issues with it and got a slight performance boost when loading my PS4/running games. Recommended if you are looking for an upgrade and are concerned about your PS4 overheating, this is also a great drive for any laptop. with an additional slot. Had to install one for a work laptop and the user enjoys a slight performance boost over a standard 5400rpm drive. Not as fast as an SSD but gives you a boost while maintaining a low thermal index.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Blunt hardware
