Comments about Seagate 500GB Momentus SATA Hard Drive:
Bought this one to upgrade my Lenovo T61 laptop and it turned out this drive clicks loudly every now and then which is extremely irritating for me.
After 3 weeks of moderate use laptop started to show S.M.A.R.T. warnings and BSOD due to Momentus HDD overheating. After 4 weeks laptop refused to boot -- HDD died. Thats right, just 4 weeks. End of story. Bought WD 500GB Scorpio Blue 2 months ago, it is silent and it works.
