Careful- little support from Seagate

Strengths: Quiet - lots of space

Weakness: If you by this for certain model Thinkpads it may not work. Little support from Seagate, may not be compatible with newest Intel chipsets

It returns an error code of 2010 saying the drive needs a firmware update. I got it from Lenovo - it did not work and Seagate is clueless

This a known issue with Thinkpads due to the BIOS storing the HDD password on the HDD EEPROM chip, which non-IBM drives do not support. During POST is looks for that chip and if it cannot verify it, it throws that error code. You can still use the drive it's just you have to live with that message on every boot.

Live Fast, Die Young

Strengths: Fast

Weakness: Extremely unreliable

My 3rd drive has just gone bad, just clicks. Each drive lasted 4 months. Enough. I don't care if it's in warranty. I hope a Hitachi drive will do better.
