Highlights
Quality
Everything is like was on a description,very nice product
I use these and the 1tb version to store music files.
According to the product description these where first introduced in sept 2012 so this seems to be inaccurate.
I checked the status of the warrantee with seagate and it has expired (hdd warrantees can be up to 5 years) so these are new but old stock.
Packaging/appearance
On the packaging it says you could get any top brand, i got seagate, and checking smart attributes drives have 1 hour of use!
Competitiveness
It's a 500gb hard drive, arrived in great condition, does exactly what i expected.
There's not much point in buying the latest 6gb transfer rate drives when your hardware can only handle 3gb.
It has to be better than one that's spent a number of years in someone else's pc!

If like me you are replacing a failed drive or just upgrading an older system this has to be better than buying a used drive of similar age
