## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this work with an msi gaming laptop?**
A: The Seagate Model ST1000DM003 1TB 3.5 “ disk drive is designed for conventional desktop machines and will not fit into a MSI laptop. It will however, fit into a purpose-built 3.5” external drive case and be useful as an external data drive. My daughter in-law uses one for her MSI gaming laptop as an offline backup drive using Microsoft’s Windows 10 Backup and she has no problems with it. It just won’t fit into the 2.5” slot for an internal drive.

**Q: Will this work on a xbox one s?**
A: I purchased this and it's way too big for xbox!

**Q: Any operating systems**
A: It is a blank HDD with out any op systems installed... 
I Installed windows 11 with out any problems..

**Q: I am looking for a seagate st1000dm003 9yn162-500 with firmware:cc4b and board rev b. do you have any of those?**
A: That drive should work with most ANY motherboard.

Review: After my PC's original hard drive started making loud noises and eventually failed, I needed a quick and affordable replacement. I decided to go with the Seagate 1TB Desktop HDD, and I'm thrilled with the results! First off, installation was a breeze. The Seagate drive fit perfectly into my PC, and I had it up and running in no time. Considering its affordability, I wasn't expecting much in terms of performance, but to my surprise, it works like a charm. One of the biggest improvements I noticed was the noise level. Unlike my previous hard drive, which was loud and obnoxious, the Seagate drive runs much quieter. This has made a significant difference in my overall computing experience, as I no longer have to deal with constant whirring and grinding noises. In terms of performance, I haven't experienced any issues so far. The Seagate drive operates smoothly and efficiently, allowing me to store and access my files without any hassle. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my purchase. The Seagate 1TB Desktop HDD is a reliable and affordable solution for anyone in need of a replacement hard drive. If you're looking for a budget-friendly option that doesn't sacrifice quality, look no further than the Seagate drive. Disclosure: I purchased this product at full price and am providing this review based on my personal experience with the Seagate 1TB Desktop HDD.
