One of the Seagate forum moderators stated that it's the same drive:http://forums.seagate.com/t5/Momentus-XT-Momentus-and/What-is-the-difference-between-the-Momentus-xt-500-G-models/m-p/85644

Specs are the same. The STAN500100 is just the retail kit whereas the ST95005620AS is OEM/bare drive.http://www.seagate.com/docs/pdf/datasheet/disc/ds_momentus_xt_retail.pdf (STAN500100)http://www.seagate.com/docs/pdf/datasheet/disc/ds_momentus_xt.pdf (ST95005620AS)

You know that is a excellent question. All the specs on different websites say it has a 500Gb HDD with a 32GB SSD hybrid. Although when I search through my system properties I do not see the 32GB partition listed. Do you know exactly how I would know? I would think that the model numbers specs would be universal.

The one I bought for my sister 18 months ago shipped with a Seagate part number but with the Samsung part number included in its description (and carried a Samsung firmware ID). I think I've seen it advertized since without mentioning the Seagate part number but unless there were some left-overs from the good old Samsung days suspect these were also actually Seagate drives (though I've never seen any indication that the DESIGN was not still Samsung's).

Here's another question: Does the PS/3 and/or the PS/4 actually use the Solid State Hybrid technology? In other words, is the PS/3 (for example) faster using this Hybrid drive than it would be if one were to use a non-Hybrid 540 RPM drive?

Yes, they are all compatible-use the Software down-loader offer, makes the transfer from the old discs to the Monentus Hybrid easier and quicker. Drive and access will be noticeable the more you use it. When SSD' really become cheaper and min 512 GB then go for this set-up. Seagate makes a good reliable product and stand by it.

That depends on the model you get. Some model editions have the hybrid with the SSD cache. For the models with the SSD, it is a hybrid and not two separate drives.

No... There are newer models....If the model was to be discontinued, then it would be marked as saying discontinued. This model maybe a 32 MB Cache and there is a 64 MB Cache. This model is a SATA II and the newer models would be SATA III. If I needed a new 1.5 TB HD right now, I would buy this one because I have 4 total already.

The user manual, last updated in 2008, says, "Two Hard Drive Bays for 3.5" SATA Hard Drives of Any Capacity". The list of tested hard drives was last updated in November 2012 at http://support.dlink.com/list.aspx?type=1&model;=DNS-321%20hard%20drives. If the drive you want to use is not listed, you might try contacting customer support.

I would say one difference is that the Basics stipulates that it has "Internal Shock Sensor" to where the Connect doesnt. After losing so many hard drives in the past, that is the one feature I look for which Seagate does not even stipulate in the line.

This is a 3.5 inch drive which is too large to fit inside your MacBook Pro. There is a 2.5 inch 1TB version of the hybrid drive that I am currently using in my MacBook pro that works just fine. As someone else pointed out, it is not an SSD so you won't get SSD speeds. You may see slightly faster boot times and other benefits with a hybrid drive but you will get used to them very fast. If you really want to speed things up get an SSD. If you are thinking of using this one for external storage you should have no problem there as long as you have an external case for it but if you're not booting from it you might as well just get a regular 2TB 7200rpm drive instead of the hybrid and save yourself some money.

I don't think they HAVE to be identical, but I think it is good policy to at least make sure that they are all the same size. The smallest disk in the set will cause the system to ignore any space on other volumes that go beyond that smaller size. To stick a 500GB drive in a box that has three other larger drives should give you a 2 TB box (4 X 500). Seagate might be unhappy about this, but if you stick a WD drive in their box the system should be able to make it go. The drive is compatible with SATA or it isn't, right? Warranty is another matter. That WD drive would almost certainly void your waranty. But if the box is under warranty, they should give you the correct replacement drive,

Hi it's a bit confusing, and hard to figure out who you are ordering from on these drives. Did not buy mine from Oceanside. Might want to look at similar drives from Fry's. They have the full warranty.

While laptop drives and the Constellation are "2.5 inch drives," laptop HDD's measure 100 x 70 x 7 mm whereas the Constellation is thicker (100 x 70 x 15 mm). It uses a different connector and consumes more power. A Seagate Momentus thin 500GB might be a good choice for your laptop. Basically, laptop thin drives are optimized for low weight, quiet operation and low power consumption. The Constellation is perfect for servers where they operate 24/7 with high data rates (6 GB/s) and higher rotational speeds (7200 rpm).

The physical sector size of the 2TB drive was (surprisingly) 4096 making it a 4k /Advanced Format Drive. I no longer have the drive to verify my memory on this but that is what my review was about. Formerly Seagate's 2TB external Backup Plus drives were 512 making them compatible with Windows 7 backup and imaging utilities-that's why I say "surprisingly". Since there is no indication of this change on the packaging (even though there is a logo for Advanced Format 4kn-native-and Advanced Format 512e -emulation drives) you would not know it until you bought the drive and tried to use the utilities. If you already bought the drive you can run the command line: Fsutil Fsinfo ntfsinfo x: (where x: is the drive's letter designation) to verify-too little too late, unfortunately! It would be hard to convince me this isn't Seagate's deliberate omission and I think Amazon should have this information listed as well.

Probably because it doesn't really matter. SATA 6 Gb/s is just marketing for a mechanical drive. No mechanical HDD can even saturate the SATA 3 Gb/s spec.

Everything in digital world should be a power of "2" in their root ( "0" and "1"s, only two numbers). 1000 is not! So when you go from Byte to KiloByte, you have to divide the number with "1024" not "1000". Same thing happens when you go from Kilobyte to Megabyte to Gigabyte to Terabyte. When you buy a 2TB HDD you actually buy a 2000000000000byte drive and if you divide it with 1024 four times you get ~1.81TB. That's the real capacity it has! About the PS4; the drive is ~1862Gigabytes according to this calculation so if it shows 1760GB then you're missing ~102GBs of space. If PS4 reserves that amount for the system then there's nothing wrong with the drive...
