Pros & Cons
Pros
Gb hard drive for $12 from amazon. Com. Uses usb 3. Works great for backup of ps3 datum. Only issue is amazon put 3 small drives in a big box with no packing. Gb/s transfer rate is usually supposed to be 600 mb/s, but that's because of using usb.
Cons
Seagate is pure junk. The surfaces of the drive are not clean; there are small bits of debris and smudges all over the drive. The upper word of hours was not cleared in the attempt to reset smart data.
Many hdds of the same kind from hitachi and wd, this is the worst one i have ever used. Any ssd beats these by a mile. I will not be buying anymore hd's from amazon vendors.
Unrecognized in disk management, doesn't spin up, and makes a beeping sound. The connector fingers have scratches which indicate they were previously plugged into a connector. It was very clearly pulled from an unsold dell laptop.

Tested with crystaldisk and all checked out good on two of these with 0 hours, so they weren’t used.
Price
Easy to slip in or inexpensive to get a pro to do it.
Excellent price for the storage capacity and works very well
In conclusion, sometimes it's a pleasant surprise what $12 can get you!
Overall pleased with the value, as i am a cheap dirty old bastard.
Shipping
The shipping was really fast and it was very well packaged.
It came in a decent amount of time.
I think they undated the delivery two times with improved delivery dates.
Packaging/appearance
Packaging was suspicious and not very durable (just an esd bag with no padding) but they seem to be ok.
Only issue is amazon put 3 small drives in a big box with no packing.
Competitiveness
The product worked very well as expectedwill buy from this seller again.
I also have one as a backup drive for my ps3, which normally runs a more expensive old seagate sshd.
