Seagate ST1500LM003 1.50 TB 2.5 Internal Hard Drive - SATA/300 - 5400 rpm - 16 MB Buffer
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.
You can trust this review, i hope you can try to buy this product and then you know this product good or no. Next time you can make a review for another people.
BEWARE: Nice drive, but is NOT what is advertised!
This is not a notebook drive. It is the old 2x750GB drives piggy backed, so it will not fit your "notebook".
It is 2.5", and it is SATA, but it will not fit in any laptop or notebook-except in an external enclosure. Notice side views or accurate external measurements are conveniently missing...
It is hard to assign a star value to the product, as the product is not the problem-the seller is. How do you rate the product when the product is mis-represented?
I gave it a 3 by default...

This drive is not for regular notebooks
There's not much info from the product page, so let me post some:
Capacity: 1500GB
Spindle Speed: 5,400RPM
Interface Type: SATA
Disk Size: 2.5"x15mm (S.F.F. Enterprise)
Electrical Interface Speed: SATA 300 - 3.0Gbps
On-Board Cache: 16MB
The most important info is that this one has a height of 15mm.
Note: regular hdd's as of now have 9.5mm, and most of the SSD's have 7mm height. So this item is considerably thick for a notebook. If you're buying this for a notebook, make sure yours accepts drive with this height. Otherwise, this will not fit.
If you're going to use this a portable drive, it's also hard to find a case that will fit this.
Not so good
I have bought 3 of these now. 2 of them have failed completely and had to be repleced. They are also extremely slow. Probably ok for a backup device, but I would not recommend this drive for daily use.
