SATA, or Serial ATA is the current popular choice of hard drive interface for desktop systems. SATA-300 is the current standard, and is capable of transferring 300 Megabytes per second. While SCSI drives are capable of faster transfer speeds, the drives, bus controller, and cables are much more expensive, relegating their use to servers and applications where transfer speed is an absolute must. Note that if you are shopping for an upgrade to a system that is a couple of years old, it may not support SATA-300, and not operate at it's full potential. If it is any older than that, it may not support the SATA standard at all, and you should check your system's specifications for details.
I was hesitant about buying a used hard drive but the price was outstanding so I took a shot. Very glad I did. The drive was delivered ASAP and fit perfectly into my PC. No problems loading the OS and any other programs. I would certainly buy another when I need one.

I've never been emailed and prompted for a review of a piece of hardware like a hard drive before. I do shade tree work on my own laptops. I recently had a hard drive fail in an older Thinkpad T60p. They're easy to work on and very modular inside. Drive was swapped out within minutes and I was back to loading Linux Mint 18.1 on it before long. The date on the top of the drive said 2007 - that's one year older than the drive I pulled out of the machine. Granted, I am a power user and this laptop stay on 24/7. So, perhaps the drive I just threw in came from a laptop that wasn't used as much and hasn't seen as many hours of run time.
