It feels comfortable in my hand and worked after installing the software from Logitech's website.
Hey Best Buy, how about asking me every year from now if I still like it and if it still works!

It worked; It fit; It is a hard drive - something you plug in and forget and never see again. How long it will last is the $64,000 question. Hey Best Buy, how about asking me every year from now if it still works!

Works like a UPS should. Still had to use a power strip for all my accessories. The real test is how long it will last! Best Buy should ask us to give another review every anniversary year.

What can you say about an item you just purchased and installed? How long it will last only time will tell! It fit in the slot and the connectors connected. Out of site and out of mind until it stops functioning correctly.

Installed without a problem and connected to my wireless network just fine. A little on the big side (not one of the fingernail / pico sizes) but in this case, that was not an issue.

What's great about it: It does what it is suppose to do.
What's not so great: 3-year warranty and not 5-year which Best Buy's web site may say.
Seagate drives come with a three-year warranty. Like all things made, they do sometimes go bad. I have had drives go bad under warranty and their warranty return is easy to use.
This is a retail package and comes with a SATA cable, LP4 to SATA power adapter, CD with software to clone your old drive to your new drive, and a small sheet of instructions.

Only at Best BuySimpliSafe Protect Home Security System: Keep your entire home or business safe with this security kit, which features 4 entry sensors as well as a motion sensor for comprehensive protection. Program and update settings using your compatible mobile device for convenient operation.
 

Can this system work with a camera. Also, are you able to add more censors later.

You can add more cameras but they have to be from SimpliSafe. You can also add more of their sensors. Everything communicates with the master controller which must pickup the wireless signal from each camera and sensor in order for each item to work properly.

 Samsung - 850 EVO 500GB Internal Serial ATA Solid State Drive for Laptops and PC
Samsung - 850 EVO 500GB Internal Serial ATA Solid State Drive for Laptops and PC
With TurboWrite technology, this Samsung 850 EVO MZ-75E500B 500GB internal SATA hard drive allows you to quickly update files. The 32-layer 3D VNAND flash memory ensures reliable performance, and AES 256-bit encryption keeps your data private.
 

I'm looking to add an SSD to my Alienware 13 r3. Is this SSD compatible with my laptop? If not then any recommendations guys?

Open up your laptop and if it has a conventional hard drive then it will work. If you do not see a conventional looking drive, then you already have a solid state drive in it that looks like a piece of memory stick. You can purchase a bigger SSD then what you have or possibly add a second drive. See this YouTube video for instructions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-HenSikmqM

What type of partition table does this drive have,windows 7 install says it needs a GPT?

It will take any type of partition table that software can create.

For Windows 7 to Windows 10, it will work without any problems. Just install it and format it with the default settings. You do not need to worry about the type of parition.

Would this work in my Dell Inspiron 570 along with the hard drive that came with my Dell

Yes it will work. You will need to format it once it is installed and after Windows has installed the drivers for it. You will then have a new drive letter to access it by.

Compatible with IMAC Model A1311 [late 2009 model] 21.5"

Can I use this hard drive to replace the original hard drive. Apple support was of no help and could not / would not supply me with a list of compatible drives.

Thank you

Don
Conditionally yes. Read the comments on this page about the heat sensor:

will this upgrade my dell xps400 to current windows? if not, what is available.

Windows is software and this is hardware. Two different animals. This hard drive comes with nothing on it.

If you are wanting to install a larger hard drive and clone your existing drive to it, then yes it will work in your computer.

You have an extra slot so you can add this drive as a secondary drive. Once formatted, it will have its own drive letter. You can then use it to store all your documents, music, videos, etc. on it instead of the original drive.

Can I use this internal storage drive (Model # ST310005N1) for backup of the main computer data?

If you are going to mount it inside a the computer, then yes. You could also go with an external USB hardd rive.

But then what are you going to do if a tornado or hurrican comes through and you main computer and your back up drive wind up miles away in a lake? Or a fire destoys both? Or a burglar takes both?

You should consider a cloud based backup such as Carbonite. They backup immeaditaly without you having to do naything.
