I had originally ordered this drive to give some extra life to my Dell Latitude D520, since I can't afford to save up much money for a new laptop. I do have to say, this drive is perfect, whether you are upgrading storage on a laptop or desktop. This drive came in fast, was easy to format and use from the ground up (as expected from a WD drive; the drive I received).The price is a tad steep compared to desktop storage, but this drive was totally worth every penny.

showing blue screen of death different error codes, hard drive not recognized and its only a couple days after the return period with very little usage. tried to repair through diagnostics, tried to reboot using bootable drive no problems till yesterday started working but today will not boot at all

I had purchased this disk as a replacement drive in lieu of the stock 80GB model that had burnt out after so many years of use. The Latitude series laptops (D620 in my case) were engineered to be modular so the actual process of replacing the old unit was a snap. Disconnect the caddy from the drive and reattach the new one - plug it in.I will assume that the "brand" description of the item here on Amazon simply means that you may receive one of the many numerous brand name disks the seller has available. I received the Seagate 500GB model - which is always an excellent alternative to a generic. No complaints so far.

Well I finally found the time to copy the old drive and get this new drive installed. It Runs much cooler which means the fan runs much quieter than it did with the original! I am very pleased with the performance so far. This lap top computer is used at least ten to twelve hours a day seven days a week and there have been no issues to date. I did have to fabricate a thin plastic cover from an external drive housing for the top and bottom of the drive to allow installation in the drive bay where the solid state drive had been. But now I have 500GB instead of 128 GB. This was installed in a Dell Latitude E6400XFR The same one our boys are using in the desert theaters around the globe.

Died within a few months of purchase, just buy the regular Seagate one and save yourself trouble.
