Highest capacity for an ATA6 two.five" driveReally quiet, keeps cool.Replaced a Fujitsu 40GB drive on an AppleTV and it's as silent as it previously was.ATV recognized he drive without issues (after appropriately formatting it with EFI GUI partitions) None, no 1 tends to make ATA6 driver with higher capacity

Fits neatly in the HP zv6000. Cooler, more rapidly and a lot biggger than the original difficult drive (Fujitsu one hundred Go). A breeze to install. None so far. 10$ much less because I bought it a week ago. Fantastic for new buyer, sorrow for me... Extremely more affordable than what charge HP to replace defective HD. They charge 650 $ to replace the one hundred Go drive.

Works good in my son's Dell Inspiron 5150 laptop, no concerns. Runs quickly in Windows 7. The Bios saw it as a 127 GB, Windows 7 saw it as 320 GB, with out issue. Newegg rules! Thank you for the fast shipment. none

-Most storage for IDE laptop Difficult Drive-Fast and quiet, pleasant ticking lets you know it rocks-Best price tag for the storage ($/gb) - ŭ far more than the 240gb model (?)-Great reviews, seems trusted (except for the uncommon exceptions) - most men and women gave it a five-Ideal option for removable (ide) storage - i had a thermaltake case (ide) i wanted to use, it kicks - turns out i could have got a cheap sata case and a larger stata hd and saved some income (hint).. .but i'm content -ide is old technologies (pata)... sata is less expensive and larger, additional space, better $/gb ratio-seriously no cause to get pata at all, unless you have to, can't do sata -hurry up and get this before they quit creating them, if you will need it, i.e.- you want to max out your laptop (or removable ide usb hd case... like a dummy i know who could have purchased a sata case and a 500gb sata drive for much less funds)-i doubt the value will go decrease or that they will make anything larger than this... the cost will probably go up as these grow to be rarer... see memory for instance: ddr vs. ddr2, over 2x the price tag, isn't it?-why am i bothering? i don't know... i like it, even thoughoh, the failure possibility: i downloaded the testing software program and ran a complete test. what much more do you want?

Price Came with multiple negative sectors appropriate out of the box. This point was a headache right out of the box! I purchased this to upgrade an older laptop to a larger difficult drive. This would have been the second challenging drive upgrade. The 1st 1 went like a dream. The old drive cloned more than no prob and has been running like a dream for years. The only cause I bought this 1 was simply because I necessary far more storage. I did the exact exact same issue with this drive that I did with the previous 1 and have had absolutely nothing but problems from day 1. It wouldn't clone more than no matter how quite a few times or techniques I attempted. Lastly I had to go to Staples and pay them to attempt and clone it more than. The tech was ultimately capable to do it, but only after he designed two partitions on the drive generating one the C: and the other and storage drive. Properly, it worked for about two weeks and then I started obtaining BSOD in the middle of running applications. If I wasn't there to turn it off, it would ultimately shut down and try to reboot but come up with an OS not found error. Finally had to get in touch with WD for a replmt

Performs fantastic, reasonably quiet, reasonably quick. Doesn't take benefit of most current notebook hard drive tech like the SATA drives do. Capacity, cache, and rpm are all limited compared to SATA drives. For folks with laptops that only use PATA drives, this is the greatest you're going to get. That means you're receiving a second-price drive even though, considering that this drive has reduce capacity, smaller sized cache, and lower rpm than the finest and most current SATA drives. If drive manufacturers are attempting to force men and women to acquire an entire new laptop just so they can use a more rapidly SATA drive, they're seriously just insulting their shoppers and losing sales. I'm not going to replace my amazing and trusted T-41p just to get a SATA drive, but that indicates I'm stuck with second-price really hard drives.This is a decent tough drive... for three years ago. I want there was a better (faster and bigger) PATA drive accessible but nobody makes anything far better for notebooks.

Cool, quiet, rapidly, simple set-up: I have a Fujitsu A3110 (originally with a 120GB Fujitsu drive). The drive was recognized in BIOS, and I restored the XP pro with a bunch of applications from the original image in no time. none If you have an older notebook with ATA HDD interface, there are only WD big capacity drives for you - all other manufacturers offer you 160GB at very best. And a 320HB Scorpio Blue does an excellent job!

Bestest in the westest for old notebooks. This replaced the 80gb Hitachi in a Dell Inspiron 6000. When installing Windows XP Pro on the drive, 3 partitions had to be created, all much less than 120gb, which is apparently the BIOS's max. So there is an 80gb OS partition and two 120gb partitions for media and such. This is not a con of this item, but of the unupdatable old Dell BIOS. This, along with the 2gb important memory and a new xp set up, has turned this old laptop into a valuable workstation.

High capacity for a PATA 2.5" HD Soon after 4 months my challenging drive would no longer load the OS. When I initially bought the hard drive there have been a lot of terrible sectors, a month following repairing the negative sectors the cyclic redundancy errors started. I DO NOT suggest this challenging drive to everyone. I've bought many harddrives but this one particular had the earliest failure of all.

Large amount of storage space. I placed this tough drive in my laptop and started to load XP. Soon after loading the files, the laptop would not boot from the difficult drive. Attempts to reload would not even permit me to reload the software. Placed the old challenging drive in the laptop and it boots fine. Error: no boot device. Difficult drive will recognize in BIOS but will not load. I had to pay more than Ű.00 to ship back. I assume that this charge ought to be paid by WD. I hope the replacement functions adequately. NEWEGG as generally is Good!!!!!!

Raise storage capacity by 100%. Work best with my Acer Aspire 4330 (model specified by manufacture). 5400RPM combined with 4GB higher speed RAM make this 跼.99 laptop personal computer kick out any expensive ones. Extremely swift processing data. This difficult drive is silent at all. No complaints. This is the second item from Western Digital with out disappoint me. If you don't abuse it, it will give you nice operational time for although. Cons? No way... I nonetheless loading data into my really hard drive with no problems. I'm keeping my Windows Vista SP2 up dated and virus free of charge. Program maintenance performed just about every 24hrs.

A lot additional quiet than the original Toshiba 80GB HDD that came with my Dell Inspiron 6000 Runs just as hot as the Toshiba... Folks if you are planing on making the upgrade for your older Dell Inspirons please know that the hardware will not recognize something beyond 128Gb. If you attempt running a clean set up it will reformat your drive the initially time then go into a cyclical "Disc Read Error". The workaround is the following: partition the drive till you have < 128Gb to every. Devout 1 particularly to the OS and critical drivers.

Fairly affordable, compatible with my wife's 12" iBook G4, a wonderful replacement for an old laptop. Often I think about that it's slightly faster than the factory Toshiba that crashed. The component of the case surrounding the HD gets incredibly warm through heavy disk intensive use.

None I ordered two of these to update service machines with older drives. Two arrived and have been DOA. Two replacements were sent and have been DOA. I was refunded my dollars and went with a different brand. I will never acquire WD again.

This is the fastest and biggest IDE (ATA-six) laptop challenging drive available. If you want the biggest drive doable for your older laptop, this is it. It gets a five.5 efficiency score in Windows 7 on my Thinkpad T43 and an typical of ㅪMB/sec in HD Tune. Far more pricey than the SATA version Finest alternative accessible.

Purchased this drive to replace the 80gb that was in my vaio man what a major distinction. Took me much less than an hour to install the old bird fired up like a champ. This is my initially purchase of something by Western Digital I have to say I am incredibly pleased with the quantity storage and ease of installation. I had read some of the other testimonials and difficulties of drives that had been DOA or failed I admit this did put me off somewhat nonetheless I didn't any other manufacturer with the similar sort of storage for the price for a laptop drive. I would purchase from WD again for confident. none so far early days yet have factory and extended warranty on stand by if any problems arise I figured this is the very best bang for your buck at the moment if you have a laptop that only supports PATA interface (like my vaio) and you are searching for a larger drive to replace the original tiny drive.

An exceptional drive if you partition it correctly. If your laptop isn't 46-bit LBA compliant (like most laptops that use this Parallel ATA drive), you must make drive C no a lot more than 128GiB (as reported by Windows explorer). Generate one more logical drive (E) to contain the rest of the space. Windows will let you give Drive C all 320GB, and that will seem to work fine ...till it doesn't. Typically following a defrag, you will ultimately be greeted with a black screen, boot sector errors, and data corruption. The recovery procedure is very agonizing, and you may not get your information back. None of that takes place if your drive C is GB (reported by Windows explorer). WD does not warn you of the 28-bit vs 46-bit LBA BIOS limitation, and the information is challenging to find. You'll require Windows XP SP1 or later or Win2k SP2 or later to use the drive's full capacity. EASEUS Disk Copy and an external usb case make the transfer quite effortless. Clone your existing drive, and then use EASEUS Partition Manager to resize drive C and generate logical drive E. Laptop BIOS generally makes use of 28-bit addressing and can read only the first 137.4GB of space (reported by Windows as 128GiB). If you let Drive C have all 320GB of space, you will sooner or later get information corruption and black screens. Here's why. Windows defrag can store the OS files anyplace on the drive. If you make drive C GB, element of the OS will sooner or later be written beyond exactly where the BIOS can read at startup. When that happens, you get missing NTLDR, missing system files, the dread black screen, broken boot sector, and negative information corruption. None of these will happen if you make Drive C 128GiB max.

Worked wonderful on my Gateway laptop with Vista OS.Only factor Vista is greater than XP is that you don't have to be concerned about receiving about 137g HD limitations with particular systems none so far

I was in a position to breath much more life into my laptop by escalating internal storage capacity. I necessary a larger capacity ATA-6 laptop drive for my old Dell 9100 Inspiron laptop (don't laugh) :) None so far! I typically remain away from Western Digital, but they appear to be the only ones still producing ATA-6 laptop drives. I usually always use Seagate drives. Every thing is operating OK and maybe I'll be capable to place off getting yet another laptop for awhile.

Wonderful service from Newegg Western Digital requires to implement a Corrective and Preventive Action on this HD I wanted to replace my old 100GB HD in my laptop by this WD320BEVE HD and transfer to it the complete content like Windows from my old HD by using imaging software program. I installed the WD320 in my laptop and it showed in BIOS as 320GB HD.On the other hand right after removing the HD from my laptop and connecting it by means of USB/IDE adapter to my laptop with my old HD inside to do imaging ,this HD showed up as only ㆗GB. From this point BIOS does not see the complete 320GB of this drive.My guess is that this is a programing bug in HD firmware.This is the second identical HD, I purchased, that shows the similar behavior.Newegg on time delivery is good. Their consumer service answered all my concerns on the phone.
