    Newegg.com - Seagate Momentus 7200.4 ST9500420AS 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache 2.5" SATA 3.0Gb/s Internal Notebook Hard Drive -Bare Drive

    wideley reviewed as being slower than competing drives of similar size and speed. now much cheaper

    this drive also has 114 1 egg reviews out of 472. That should make it rated like 2 or 3 eggs but somehow its not, thats aside the point.

    1 out of 5 newegg reviewers claimed this drive failed in a short time. Most claimed it vibrated a lot and was noisy


    Have I sold you? But wait theres more, its only 50$

    in comparison, 1 out of 74 newegg reviewers of the wd black claimed it failed early. there is nothing scientific but theres got to be something to that...
