Product Description
Cool-running, quiet operation, superior performance and industry-leading reliability make these next-generation WD Caviar Blue drives the perfect hard drives for desktop and enterprise storage. WD, the first to introduce an 8 MB buffer, has advanced the caching algorithms of this new and improved Caviar family of hard drives, resulting in next-generation high performance – performance that matches the speed of most 16 MB cache drives.Heat is a major contributor to hard drive wear, and cool drive operating temperatures help increase long-term drive reliability.

I ordered a hard drive and then decided it was`nt what I wanted and asked if I could return it. Amazon.com was very helpful and very quick to return my money. I was and am really pleased with them and as I said, they`re the greatest.

I need to burn some disk or just not care when all my music and pictures disappear when these crash. I must have a storage fetish. Can you believe we used to get everything on 850 megabite drives. I don’t even know why I’m wasting my time writing a review. I could be down at Best Buy looking for another terabite or two. Stop me before my hard disk goes floppy and
I can’t get anymore ram. Downloading…. I’m done. Good thing I use a virus protection.

Bought one of these from J&R Electronics. Their billing and shipping was prompt and accurate.
Came in new, original WDC packaging.
Couldn’t get it to work reliably (or at all in some cases) in first computer.
Tried as many combinations/permutations of jumper settings, master, slave, single drive, etc. as were documented in the manual (with corresponding hardware configurations, of course).
All using previously working 40-pin/80-wire cable.
In all cases, with the drive connected, it caused interface timeouts.
Thought it might be just an old motherboard, so tried a new, add-in PATA card. Same behavior.
Tried it in another newer computer. Didn’t see the drive and it caused the existing drive to go away.
So… decided to RMA through WDC.
Tried to do the “express”, prepaid RMA, but… drive serial number (on the original WDC sticker on the drive) didn’t match the model number on the sticker (wd3200aajb) and the automated support thingie wouldn’t accept it.
Did a plain, vanilla RMA. WDC’s support center received it Friday.
We’ll see.
Not impressed so far.
