Western Digital Caviar Blue 500 GB Pata 16 MB Cache 3.5-Inch Internal Retail Kit DrivesWDBAAV5000ENC-NRSN Works Great.
Not sure about this drive yet, (What's this?) Mounted it in an external USB drive case and it takes a computer (tried it on a couple) a long, long time to recognize it and data transfer is incredibly slow for some reason. I have several of the same exact case with 500 Gig IDE drives and they perform perfectly. The drive came pre-formated so I'm thinkin' that maybe I need to re-format and try again. Otherwise..price per Gig was very reasonable.
Works great!, (What's this?) The drive arrived before I expected it. The drive works great. I upgraded my wife's Dell Dimension 2400 from a 40GB drive to this 500GB drive. Windows XP starts up faster and the computer is quieter.

Excellent buy, (What's this?) I bought two of these for an older PC that I use for a video server.

A fast and easy replacement drive, (What's this?) The drive was packed very securely and arrived in perfect condition. It was very easy to install, even for a semi-novice like myself, it is working great and saved my computer from an early grave. Just be sure you have a source for all the drivers that will be needed when you replace your hard drive.
Last of the Parallel drives ?, (What's this?) I needed this to upgrade a Sempron 3000 K8M800-M2(by ECS) board which has worked very well since 2005(boots XP fast). Although it has leaders for SATA drives the K8M800 BIOS would not recognize serial drives which are now faster and cheaper for the same capacity. Although I've seen a Seagate 750 GB drive in the past I believe this is now the largest parallel 40 pin drive still available and thats why I got it for this board. The alternative of getting a new board for the Sempron 3000 is out as disappointingly AMD has changed away from socket 754. This drive works well on the older but good K8M800. The box is smaller, contains a jumper and screws but does not contain the LifeGuard CD any more.
happy camper, (What's this?)
Perfectly fit my needs, (What's this?) I own an older PC which required a PATA internal hard drive. I wanted to add an internal drive to an empty bay since my primary drive was full. This WD brand hard drive fit the bill perfectly. Right size, right configuration and right price. I would recommend this drive to anyone who wants to expand capacity rather than buy a new PC. Important side note: I needed to contact Western Digital for a technical question and it was a pleasant and helpful experince...the support was great.
