| 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful  Should be the standard HD for all laptops, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Seagate Momentus 2.5 inch XT ST95005620AS 500GB 7200rpm Internal Hard Drive (Accessory) My Acer Aspire 8943g was severely handicapped by it's base 5400rpm WD Scorpion blue hard drives to the point that with a multitude of apps loaded it was borderline unusable despite 12Gb RAM and an i7 quad core processor.It probably took about 3 mins to load Windows 7 Home Premium previously and a good few mins after that to load some apps. With this drive installed as the System Drive, from the Acer POST screen to a useable desktop is 50secs (ok this is much longer than is mentioned on benchmarking sites but a marked improvement). At 1min 20secs I can have loaded Word, Excel (small spreadsheet about 3mb but with thousands of calculations), Chrome, Photoshop Elements, Outlook and iTunes. That's fast. It's not SSD fast but definitely faster than any Windows experience I've had to date. It came in a unmarked padded box and was sealed in a anti-static bag.

Cut my boot time to 1/3 (~25 sec OSX 10.6.8) and delivers snappy performance loading applications and navigating large folders of documents. I can load Apple Aperture with a 20 GB library in 5 seconds.A breath of fresh life for my 4 1/2 year old macbook. Any HDD is going to feel slow after this! 2.16 GHz C2D Macbook, with 3 GB 667 MHz ram. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful Its like a new laptop!, Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Seagate Momentus 2.5 inch XT ST95005620AS 500GB 7200rpm Internal Hard Drive (Accessory) I've had the drive for over a month now and it's like haveing a new laptop, the boot speed is now very fast, from pushing the start button i can be on the internet is less than one minute, initially it was just a bit quicker than the old drive but after several boots it gets quicker and quicker, i've just ordered a second drive for my PC if it can make such a difference to a dual core laptop it should work wonders on my six core pc. Drive is nice and stable but does use a tad more battery than old drive. |
