Better get a hybrid drive, if you plan on keeping the lappy for a long time. In terms of reliability pretty much all drives are crappy these days, though HGST is till the best maker statistically, whilst SSHD have longer warranty & generally better reliability.

@desidude2013 Highlighted the important points. An SSHD or SSD (you can also buy a slightly used SSD from eBay if you have budget concerns) would also improve the overall speed of the laptop remarkably. See: http://www.desidime.com/forums/dost-and-dimes/t...

ya i know that HGST is subsidiary so what ,they are diffrent in comparison of quality

I haven’t found any difference in quality per se. What I wanted to say was both operate under same umbrella so not to worry about the quality as OP initially had asked.

bought the HGST 500 gb normal drive as the SSHD were out of budget. and i only wanted as a spare drive in case some thing went wrong with current drive so as back up bought. 3 years warranty

hope they send a good drive with full 3 years warranty

Can any one help me on this – i bought the hard drive and received it. on checking the warranty status it shows me a year less than the date of purchase. i wrote to the company but they said its valid from the date the drive left their warehouse.

then why does flipkart say 3 years warranty on the product… i have contacted flipkart and they have said to wait till the matter is solved

My internal HD failed 3 years back, I never bought a new internal HD. I removed the HD and since then I am using my laptop with the help of 8GB pendrive which is flashed with live LinuxMint waiting for the day when HDs will be history and SSD will be available at cheap prices. Till then Linux rocks

can any one please guide me on this issue… company not willing to give 3 years warranty as shown by flipkart

Warranty is always valid from the date of sale by the vendor you can file a case if they don’t fulfill it.

Why the hell customer should bother for when the product left the warehouse. They are not buying vegetables.
