Western Digital Caviar SE 320GB IDE ATA100 7200RPM 8MB 8.9MS Hard Drive 3 Year MFR Warranty

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!
