Review on 🖥️ Seagate Momentus 5400 500GB Internal NB Hard Drive - Efficient 5400RPM SATA 3Gb/s, 8MB Cache, 2.5 Inch ST9500325AS-Bare Drive by Marcus Merritt

I used this drive on a Gateway NV55C laptop. The laptop used to have a 2.5" 500GB 3Gb/s Momentous drive and I replaced it with an exact version of what I had previously. (It's not really necessary, but I wanted to keep things simple.) The drive worked fine at first. I installed in less than 5 minutes. Then I downloaded Windows 7 again and Windows updates for about a day. The laptop then worked fine for 1 month before I got a message about missing system files. I checked the drive using SMART Diagnostics and found that it is nearing the end of its life. All the stats showed he was "old" or "on the brink of failure." Revain gave me an RMA and I sent it back. I then bought a small (64GB) Sandisk SSD to try and repair my laptop one last time. So far so good, but it's been less than a month. So I don't know if you will have the same experience as me or if I just received a defective unit, but buyers beware.
