    Very good HDD, at a very reasonable price that won't break the bank. Bought it as a replacement for a failed HDD that I bought a couple of years back. Can't really say much more; this is a quality component and it won't come much cheaper than this, thanks Play.

     cheapest on internet 500gb for 36.99
