    5.0 out of 5 stars Just what I needed
    Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2023

    Bought to replace a dead hard drive in a nearly mint condition Apple PowerBook G4 that I purchased in 2019. After 4 years the drive is still working perfect. There is also a very noticeable increase in performance compared to the original hard drive that came in these laptops as the OEM Drive is only 4800 RPM opposed to the new drive’s 5400 RPM. I would’ve much preferred a 7200 RPM drive or best of all an SSD, but I could not find either that have the right interface and would also fit inside laptop correctly. This really is the perfect replacement drive for anybody needing a new hard drive for apples later PowerPC G3 laptops or any model of their G4 laptops.

    4.0 out of 5 stars New life for an old laptop
    Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    The drive is quiet and seems fast enough on an old Dell XPS M140 2GHz Intel laptop. I have a personal rule to avoid putting money into old computers, but a friend recently gave me the laptop without a hard drive, and it seemed in excellent shape, so I decided to take the risk. Put the drive in, installed Linux Mint 13, and I am amazed by how well it all works. Having avoided Linux systems for the past few years, I am also amazed by how easy it is to use the new Linux Mint, but that's another story.

    I deducted one point because of the drive's age and my doubts about the warranty. While it had never been used (I checked the internal SMART data), the drive's Seagate Date Code (10045) shows that my drive was manufactured almost three years ago, on July 29, 2009. When I checked the drive serial number with Seagate for warranty coverage, I got the same message as another commenter here: it is an OEM drive, not covered directly by Seagate. If the drive fails I suppose I'll email the vendor, but I did not see any warranty information. Hope it doesn't fail.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Solid performer if you need a modest size IDE PATA drive
    Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2013
    Verified Purchase
    This drive is 5400 RPM and has UDMA mode mode 5 throughput parallel ATA IDE interface. it is a solid, if not stellar, performer. The 80G drive was a reliiability sweet spot for Seagate drives of the 2005-2006 time frame. Personal experience has shown this 80G in particular to be a very rugged and reliable drive. I bought two of these drives to replace small 30G drives that were tight on space in laptop computers that are still otherwise decent machines. The 80G momentus was a quick shot in the arm to give a little more service life to aging laptops.

    Anything you find in the 80G size range with IDE PATA interface is probably new old stock. Few, if any, 2.5 inch drives with PATA interface are being manufactured in 2013. If you have a need for drives like this, you might want to stock up now to have them on hand when needed.

    The drive works very well. My old laptop came with only a 10 GB HD so the 80 GB capacity of this one is welcome. However, my laptop will accommodate a 160 GB drive. After purchasing the 80 GB drive at what appeared to be a good price, i.e., significantly less than a couple of others of the same size that I found, I located a new 160 GB drive for about 20% less than I paid for the 80 GB drive.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Good HDD
    Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    This drive is great--and works with legacy systems like Windows 9x, but yet can handle the latest version of Debian (a Gnu/Linux OS) with swap space on. Read/write speed is fast, even on an older 450 MHz notebook where I installed it. No bad sectors where found on this drive, and the pins were rigidly intact--and IDE drives in this shape are getting harder to find. I've used Maxtor and Seagate drives in the past, and I've learned to trust them--most of the time, they work--although like with any product, there are exceptions. As long as it's installed properly, it should work for whatever you need to use it for--and I would recommend it for older computers that don't use the SATA interface.

    Edit: Be careful when relying on these drives, though. Within a few weeks, several files have not been readable because they've went corrupt. A quick disk check usually fixes the problem, but things don't always write to disk properly, or at least in the case of this drive, which is why it lost a star. I'd recommend backing up your data whenever possible and checking whatever filesystem is in use regularly.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Good drive thus far...IDE drives hard to find
    Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    I purchased this drive to replace a 40gb drive which had fried in an 8-yr old IBM Thinkpad (now Lenovo) T42 laptop. Most replacement drives in the marketplace are now SATA drives; the older technology IDE drives are getting scarce. I was fortunate to find this one; it arrived on time, well-packaged, and in perfect condition. But note..there was no retail Seagate box; the drive was packaged in an anti-static envelope only (typical of bulk drive purchases by the vendor). Seems to be working like a charm, but I've only had it for a few weeks. If problems develop, this review will be edited.
