WD Blue 320 GB Hard Drive OEM Product Details

WD WD3200AAJB Caviar Blue Hard Drive
Offering capacities as large as 320 GB, the WD high-performance family of EIDE Hard Drive Kits is equipped with an 8 MB buffer.

Superior Performance
The Special Edition hard drive provides a higher percentage of cache hits and significantly faster time to data than industry-standard 2 MB versions. Within the complex operations of hard drives, the buffer is used to hold the results of recent reads from the disk and also to "pre-fetch" information that is likely to be requested in the near future. The use of an increased buffer improves the performance by reducing the number of physical accesses to the disk and allowing data to stream from the disk uninterrupted by mechanical operations.

This Drive Holds
- 127 two-hour DVD-quality movies or
- 450 hours of VHS-quality video or
- 265 days of around-the-clock MP3 audio or
- 112,500 vivid digital photos or
- 640 action-packed games!


Features

  • Data Protection Enhancements
    Data Lifeguard™ is an expanded set of protection tools which include shock protection, an environmental protection system, and embedded error detection and repair features that automatically find, isolate, and repair problem areas that may develop over the extended use of the hard drive.
  • Data Lifeguard Tools™ is a set of software utilities that work in conjunction with the embedded Data Lifeguard features to make hard drive installation, drive management diagnostics, and repair simple and worry-free.

THIS PRODUCT SHIPS IN OEM PACKAGING - GO GREEN AND SAVE GREEN
Manufacturers sometimes offer discounts when large quantities of products are purchased without fancy, colorful, retail packaging. We take advantage of these opportunities to bring you the same quality, retail product at a lower price. Retail packaging is designed to look good on a store shelf and attract your attention. It frequently includes more paper, plastic and cardboard than needed. OEM packaging is not as visually attractive but is far more economical and because OEM packaging uses less paper, plastic, ink and cardboard it creates less waste and is better for the environment. Although OEM packaged product ships in a plain white or brown box you can be assured it is the same quality product as the retail packaged version. Buying OEM packaged products saves you money and helps save the planet…GO GREEN AND SAVE GREEN. Included accessories, software, documentation, and manufacturer warranties on OEM products may vary from retail versions. Please review our detailed specifications and photo gallery for included accessories and see below for warranty information.

You can't buy this anymore? That's ridiculous.

I have a Dell XPS with 4 WD Caviar EIDE drives. Two internal and two external. The internal drives are now about 7 years old. They have performed flawlessly. The externals, including the one I bought in July, 2009, continue in that tradition. Not everybody needs to play games. Not everybody edits video. Most people don't do either. Why would I replace a perfect-working PC? Neither should you.
