WD Black WD1600BEKT 160GB Mobile Hard Drive
With 7200 RPM spin speed, 16 MB cache, these WD Black WD1600BEKT 160GB Mobile Hard Drive enable you to have the best of both worlds: the capacity and performance of a desktop PC with the convenience and portability of a notebook.
Quiet
In a notebook drive, silence is golden. WD's exclusive WhisperDrive combines state-of-the-art seeking algorithms to yield one of the quietest 2.5-inch hard drives on the market.
Low power consumption
With technologies like IntelliSeek, which calculates optimum seek speeds to lower power consumption and SecurePark, which reduces power by parking the heads during low power idle mode, this WD Black WD1600BEKT 160GB Mobile Hard Drive delivers 5400 RPM-equivalent power consumption in a 7200 RPM drive.
Reliable and rugged
WD's ShockGuard technology protects the drive mechanics and platter surfaces from shocks during shipping and handling and in daily operation. In addition, WD's SecurePark parks the recording heads off the disk surface during spin up, spin down and when the drive is off. This ensures the recording head never touches the disk surface resulting in improved long term reliability due to less head wear and improved shock tolerance.
This WD Black WD1600BEKT 160GB Mobile Hard Drive Holds
- 40 two-hour DVD-quality movies or
- 160 hours of VHS-quality video or
- 110 days of around-the-clock MP3 audio or
- 40,000 vivid digital photos or
- 228 action-packed games!

It works!
Used to replace a dead hd in my step daughter's netbook. It fits and it works. What else can I say? I do like the warranty on the black versus the blue. 3 years longer! The hd it replaced had expired by 2 months!

Good HDD, Poor Service
I ordered this drive to replace a dieing Toshiba drive. The company also sent me the 8Mb buffer version for some odd reason.I didn't feel like shipping it back and waiting another week for a new one, so unhappily, I used the 8Mb version. The drive is working great after a month

Update on WD1600-BEKT vs WD1600-BJKT post
There is a difference between the two model numbers. One has the free fall sensor BJKT, the BEKT does not. More info on the WD website. Star Ratings do not apply to this post but had to fill out.

Slightly Disappointed...
I ordered this 160GB 7200RPM 16MB HDD, but I received a 8MB Cache HDD in the mail. All other specs were the same, but the Cache size was lower than advertised. I called up Cust Serv and ended up getting a $10 discount on my next purchase. It seems that the 16MB Cache version was out of stock so they sent me this one instead. Although I'm glad that in the end they attempted to make things right, I am unhappy that they switched my purchased item with a lesser product, without notifying me. I will continue shopping here of course, but I do not think this is a good business practice...I'm sure many customers would have installed their HDD without even realizing they didn't get exactly what they paid for.
