## Description

Product Description 1x Hard Drive WD3200AAJB Box Contains 1x Hard Drive WD3200AAJB

Review: Western Digital Hard Drive - Two of my PC desktop computers, about 7 years old, recently developed starting and freezing problems with their 80G hard drives. I have now bought two of these Western Digitals to replace them and so far am delighted with their performance and quiet running. Initialising and formatting them before use was easy and trouble-free. Note I bought this Caviar because it is equipped for running with the traditional wide PATA information cable. Not long ago Hard Drives of this sort of storage capacity were much more expensive, so this represents great value for money.
Review: Very happy - New hard disk for my 6 year old Notebook as the original just did not provide sufficient space for all my photo's etc. Installed 8 months ago and is working fine, no problems. The higher spin speed (7200 vs 5600) and the larger onboard cache (8MB vs 4MB) have between them speeded up Windows nicely as a by-product. Windows was taking about 6 mins to startup and is now taking about 2 mins - big improvement.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: is it SATA technology?**
A: No it is NOT SATA technology.  It uses the description PATA technology which is the same thing as IDE that is found in older PCs like the one I'm keeping alive.  I also discovered that XP does not like to go above 128 MG so I quit fighting that limitation and just underutilize the drive or partition it into to logical drives.

**Q: is it up to date?**
A: I ordered one in October 2018 from AMTECH and the unit that was delivered was manufactured in May 2011.  They are no longer manufactured by Western Digital, but I don't know when manufacturing stopped.

**Q: Will this work to replace my dead hard drive in my original Xbox (not the 360 or 1)?**
A: Well, Yes you can. But you will have to do some work. I don't know how but this website has instructions.http://www.se7ensins.com/forums/threads/how-to-create-a-xbox-360-hard-drive-from-scratch-western-digital-only.897465/Hope you can do it. Let me know if it works.David

**Q: will this work in a macbook air first gen?**
A: No, it is the wrong physical size 3.5 inches vs 1.8 inches and different connectors.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Alert, Not what is says it is
*by E***E on 2 November 2011*

Hi all, I bought one of these after reading all the reviews, seemed like a good buy, but.... The drive is sold as 250gb, eide/pata, it is a 150gb drive with a 127gb capacity. On registering the product with Western, their system shows it as 320gb SATAII. There is no warranty on these drives as they come up as 'out of area' On querying all this Western have traced the original supply to APAC which is in Uganda, hence no warranty. Investigation ongoing with myself and the seller, with Amazon and with Western Digital. The drive does work fine, but that's hardly the point. I will revise or update this review when I have heard back so in the meantime, buy with extreme caution. Heard back from Western Digital, they are sure what has happened with this drive, it was sold into APAC, Uganda, there they take a lesser drive, smaller drive in my case and put that into the case, then they take a label from a 250gb drive, copy it and stick it on this African frankenstein drive and 100's of others no doubt, no warranty, no genuine drive, robbed. Mailed supplier today, Digital Components Ltd (dclstore), no response as yet. They have now sent RMA and taken the drive back for refund, very apologetic and professional to deal with, unlike Marius below. I would suggest anyone wanting one of these drives, ask the seller to open it and check on Western Digitals website that the drive size matches their database, then when you get it check the size of the drive on your system, if it all adds up it should be genuine, if they check on the WD database and their 250gb drive is listed as 320gb, and on a system it shows as 150gb, it's a fake. I then bought another one off here, registers as it should at 250gb, I've found out the 127gb limit is down to windows xp so ignore that part, but this new drive although it checks out and has warranty, the 3 year warranty is only in fact 155 days! I have escalated that to see if they will increase the warranty, weeks I have been waiting for that, if not this new one has to go back too, I have wasted hours and hours, or should I say days and days, to get to this point, where I may even have to start all over again, better to buy direct and it's cheaper, if only WD store had these blasted type drives in stock!!!! This second drive I bought off seller called Marius, I have told him about the warranty issue and he is emigrating and not his problem apparently, do not buy off that seller, I gave him good feedback about delivery etc but his customer service is diabolical. Week or so later, thankfully Western Digital have extended the warranty, all the seller has done is let rip into me that he sold me a drive with none of the warranty as advertised, how dare I contact him about it! the drive works fine though so after giving one star after receiving a fake drive or a drive where the details do not add up, to a second drive that had little warranty I will now up the stars although this whole process with the amount of time used I could of bought a brand new pc with a much better, larger drive in it, for much less!!!!
