    Great deal I'm a computer geek. Everyone is always bringing me their computers to fix. Recently someone dropped off a few salvaged PCs from a now-defunct business. The machines were old, but still booted up fine. However, being as old as they were, they came with Windows 98, very little RAM and tiny hard drives. So, my goal was to upgrade the machines enough so that someone on a budget could use them for basic tasks such as email, web surfing, and Word...but keep the cost down so that I could sell them for $75 each. I purchased a few of these hard drives, RAM, and installed a modern OS. The hard drives are working flawlessly thus far. I only gave them 4 stars because of the packaging; they had been repackaged in bubble wrap and placed loosely in a non-retail box. And nowhere on the listing does the seller detail whether these are new, used, refurbished.... 4Very nice drive I don't upgrade my computers nearly as often as the average person. I use it for general use and don't have a gazillion programs demanding a ton of resources. And I don't download everything I see on the internet. So I don't have the need for a huge HD. I just recently upgraded to this 160 GB drive from the 40 GB one that came with this Dell Dimension 3000 that I'm happy to say I've had for many years now. It runs faster and is quieter than my old HD. I don't know what else can be said. I like it.Western Digital is the only company I trust when it comes to HD's. They are tanks. I've never had a problem with one nor seen anybody who has. This doesn't hold true with Maxtor or Seagate. I've seen problems with both. To me durability is priority #1. When I buy something I want it to last, because I don't upgrade often. I plan on using XP Pro until they stop supporting it, and also just upgraded from 512 MB of ram to 1 GB. I know, the horror! And you know what?... my PC is greased lightning. It's how you use what you've got that's important.And yes, we ARE still talking about computers here ;) 5Great Hard Drive! I purchased this hard drive to replace the 60GB hard drive in my HP Pavilion 742n purchased back in 2002. There was nothing wrong with the old hard drive and it had alot of free space left. The HP system recovery is on the D partition of the hard drive, and not on seperate CDs. If the hard drive did go South, I would have to purchase another operating system. I intended to install the WD hard drive and keep the old one as a back up in the event I needed to re-install the operating system.As stated, this is a bulk OEM package. All you get is the hard drive, no cables or attaching screws.I've been in the computer case before to clean out the dust bunnies from the cooling fans, upgrade the memory, and replace the CD writer with a DVD burner. This seemed to be a little more involved and made me a little anxious. In the end, it turned out to be very easy.The ribbon cable connected to the hard drive had provisions to connect two devices. The connectors were clearly marked with "primary" and "slave." I left the jumper settings on both hard drives to "cable select" and connected the WD hard drive to the "slave" connector. There is a diagram printed on the hard drive showing the jumper settings for the different configurations. I did alot of research beforehand on cloning software and decided to just use the Acronis cloning software available from the WD website. The cloning software will only work if it detects a WD component. It was easy to use and pretty much self explanatory. Once the cloning was done, I removed the old hard drive and attached the WD hard drive to the primary connector.The computer booted right up without any problems. I decided to test out the HP system recovery (pressing F10 when you see the blue HP logo) and it didn't boot into the HP system recovery. It just rebooted back to Windows.From what I could determine, it has to do with the partition configuration, which I haven't quite figured out yet, and frankly don't have any plans to at this point.When you do a system recovery, the computer reverts to as it was out of the box, with all the annoying programs that it came with and none of the programs you installed. I have everything set up just like I want it on the old hard drive. If anything should happen, I can just use it to re-install everything.The hard drive is very quiet, in fact, I can't even hear it!All in all, I think this a great product at a very reasonable price and a great way to update an older computer. 5With a Little Help @ Hewlett Packard Support Item # B000VRZ7PA Western Digital Caviar Blue PATA Hard Drive WD1600AAJBI ordered this through Amazon Market Place, because by the time I was ready to order it, Amazon was sold-out for the time being. Now it's re-stocked and I'm seriously considering ordering another. Unlike the display pages, this unit is bulk-OEM which came in a plasti-foil/mylar sealed wrapper. (no directions)The re-seller did an excellent job bubble-wrapping it for shipping and when I contacted them about specifications, they were helpful and informative. Pricing was competitive with Amazon's own department. This drive is a little noisier than my original drive, which featured a peculiar rubber sheath. But this little winder spins out a fast 7200 RPM, and the noise isn't anything approaching noise from the power-supply cooling fan.The Western Digital web-site features full specifications pages which are model specific. And there's a frequently asked questions (FAQ) menu with lots of information, some of which may apply to your needs. They also illustrated precisely the jumper settings configuration table I was looking for.If you're installing an Operating System, (this installation was Windows XP) your installation disk will perform the necessary format. Because mine was XP, it had the option of selecting either FAT-32 file system (backwards compatible Windows 95-98) or NTFS file system, which is upwards compatible with Windows Vista & Windows 7, in case you need to network and share files. 5Great replacement drive This was to be used as a slave drive to prolong the life of an old HP/Compaq d220 MT desktop computer. The original 40 GB drive was full, and my kids needed additional storage to download their digital images from their cameras. I have two of these desktops, so I purchased two drives and installed them both as slave drives. For the price, the storage capacity is great, it works as intended. They did come in generic packaging with no labeling and no instructions. After fumbling a while, I remembered how to install and configure the drives, and all was good.If you don't know how to install an internal drive, you will have to look it up since there are no instructions with it. So far the performance has been good, however, we did not have them for that long, yet. If I can get a few more years out of the two desktops using these drives, I will be very happy. 4Buyer Beware - This is Not a new hard drive I can only go 1 star on this deal. I ordered this for a customer's computer. I thought I was buying a brand new hard drive and that's what I sold to the customer. It was also advertised as a blue Western Digital hard drive. This one is black. Upon installation, I discovered this drive has over 6,000 hours of power on time. It tests fine and works fine. But how do I explain this to the customer? Next time I will be looking somewhere else to buy a hard drive. I do not recommend this product. 1Excellent OEM Replacement or Additional Storage Drive This New Western Digital 320GB Caviar Blue drive is an excellent OEM replacement drive. It comes basic, as expected, without any additional hardware, software or documentation. Usage (jumper assignment) configuration is shown on the drive label. Determine your configuration, set jumper and install drive. After computer start-up, go to drive management software (either OS based or third-party), format and/or partition drive to your specifications and you're up and running. Since I am using this drive simply as additional storage, no BIOS changes were necessary...you may need to make some Hardware BIOS configuration changes depending on your desired system configuration.A few years ago, I had actually purchased a WD 120GB Black Caviar drive as an identical replacement for a dead drive in an older XP system. I have been so happy using the computer since then, I decided to buy this hard drive for more use and storage available. I am very happy with the speed of these drives and their virtually silent operation.Overall, I highly recommend Western Digital drives for quality, performance and ease of operation. 5So Far So Good So far so good...my computer and I are thus far, happy and content.I purchased this hard drive on a Monday and received it with free shipping on Friday. Can't beat that. I was lucky that it was on sale for $43.99. Still at the current price, and with free shipping, it's a great deal, and may buy another to replace an older backup.I am using this drive as #1 Primary and I have a 40G #2 Backup installed in an older Dell Dimension 4400. I installed it, exactly the same as the replaced drive (WD 80G), and the jumper was factory installed in the same position as the older drive(cable select, far right) A while back I also updated the Bios at Dell that repaired the 137G Hard Capacity that may effect using this drive.While the computer was open, I carefully cleaned the interior components using canned air dust cleaner, and a vacuum. I also checked all cable connections before closing.I then formatted and cloned with Acronis True Image WD Edition ([...]) Acronis is a super product that made the installation a breeze, and comes highly recommend to not only install a WD hard drive, but for backup, and diagnose your newer and/or older hard drive.I highly recommend all 3:AMAZONWD 160G Hard driveAcronis WD EditionAgain...so far so good! 5Use it for backup I bought this drive to replace another that failed. I back up my wife's system using xxclone, a free application that clones an entire disk, warts and all. You can either clone disk A to disk B then run off B while keeping A as a backup, or run off A and keep B as a backup until you clone again. The clone disk is a complete, bootable replacement for the original disk (except that Windows could possibly and unhelpfully complain. In my experience, changing only the disk but not the disk ID, a feature of xxclone, is tolerated by Windows XP Pro.) I would think that Microsoft could now send out an update to XP systems that would allow easy clone backup of XP systems, seeing as how they have since gone through Vista (with great pain) and 7, but they seem to want to perpetuate the pain of backing up an entire hard drive in case it fails totally -- which seems to be the common mode. They want you to re-install every app and every update -- not customer friendly at all.Sure, the disk is old school, and so is my wife's computer, but it functions well enough for email and occasional word processing. Still, there are things on her computer that would be a pain to lose. Solution: clone the disk to another IDE disk using xxclone every few months.Having used Linux/Ubuntu on other systems, I'll never buy another Microsoft or Apple system again; most people would never notice the difference except for the lack of headaches and cost. But for now, it's great to have available a quality hard drive to back up a legacy computer -- at least until the motherboard fails. 5Mine Got "sick" in 6 months I got it to replace the previous drive which lasted 4 years, then died.this one worked fine for 6 months, but now it is showing the same symptoms as the old one did (system suddenly shuts down with no warning, then restarts). Once I even got a Blue Screen but with only a couple of memory addresses showing on it.It appears the problem is the drive runs hot. As I write this I have the case open and am blasting a little desktop fan directly at it from a range of 6 inches to keep it cool. Also I moved the secondary hard drive so that this one has air space all around it. Since taking these measures it has not "twitched" again... fingers crossed.It appears these drives are a crap shoot. Some are in good shape, others have been abused or refurbished or something and they don't last long. 3
