Fits a Freesat recorder.
Bought this hard drive as a replacement for the one which failed in my Freesat recorder. Identical to the original, and an easy straight swap. Just a small torx bit for the case screws and a flat blade to lever the cover apart, then a multipin plug to swap over. Have tried the new one and works perfectly. Beats buying a new Freesat box for £200.

Not a new drive, with 39,000 hours of use and bad sectors
My worst purchase on amazon.Those are used hard drives, my one came with 39,000 hours of use and bad sectors.- Extremely High UsagePower On Hours: 39,036 hours (~4.45 years of continuous operation).Power On Count: 44,422 cycles (suggests frequent power cycles).A drive this old is at a much higher risk of failure.- High Load/Unload Cycle CountLoad/Unload Cycle Count: 0x114E (probably around 4,398 times).Frequent head parking/unparking can wear out mechanical parts over time.- Spin Retry Count: 188 (Above Normal)This means the disk has had trouble spinning up multiple times.Normal value should be 0 or very low.This may indicate aging motor bearings or power instability.- UltraDMA CRC Error Count: 200There have been some CRC errors, which could indicate cable issues or power fluctuations.

Replacement hard drive for ps4 Pro
Bought this to replace my dead ps4 Pro harddrive. Blue light of death, safemode restart did nothing so Followed youtube tutorial how to replace hardive which was the last option. Easy to install. My Ps4 is now alive and working perfectly fine.my only regret was not buying a more powerful hard drive like a more expensive sold state drive. Reason being I wasn't sure if it was my original hardive was the issue so bought the cheaper hardrive as a test..anyway. this hardrvie works fine as a replacement ps4 hardive.Good quality for the price.

However, if you replace your existing hard disk you'll need to reinstall all the software, including Windows. Make sure you've got the licence number and install disks for everything.It may be worth purchasing a 2.5\" USB SATA drive caddy (around £5 on fleabay) to put your old disk in if it's still working. That way you can transfer files across to the new one, and have a cheap backup drive as well."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can I put this hdd into a 2013 macbook pro?

My daughters laptop is working and from what she has said it's better than when it was new as it has a 1Tb HD and 16GB of RAM now. My son said it wasn't hard to format the HD and install the OS but he spent 3 years at college and he is now studying computer programming. So if you don't know or unsure about how to reformat the HD and upload the OSX I believe there are some guides on Youtube which will help."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"I have a bush 320dtr can i fit the 500gb or must i use the 320gb ?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"As long as the dimensions/size are the same as your previous hard drive then you shouldn't have an issue installing and running a 500GB hard drive."}}]}]}
