## Description

Product Description WESTERN DIGITAL 250GB IDE ULTRA 7.2K RPM 8MB HARD DISK DRIVE. NON-CANCELLABLE AND NON-RETURNABLE desertcart.com The Western Digital Caviar SE hard drive gives you 250 GB of storage in a package that is quiet, fast, and runs cooler than most hard drives on the market. Even at a rotational speed of 7,200 RPM the drive can maintain low operating temperatures and low power consumption. The 8 MB buffer also provides high performance caching for faster speeds and improved system functions. This hard drive is as quiet as it is fast, with noise minimized to levels nearly below the human hearing threshold using WhisperDrive technology. Soft Seek technology is employed to minimize seek noise by streamlining read/write seek algorithms. All this means that your hard drive will operate efficiently and quietly while in use, allowing you to enjoy games, video, and music without the distraction of loud hardware.The Caviar SE drive comes with Data Lifeguard Tools, a suite of software that works with the built-in Data Lifeguard technology to simplify the process of installation, drive management, and repair. Data Lifeguard continually monitors your system to help with shock protection, environmental protection, error detection and repair, and automatically finds, isolates, and repairs any detected problems. The built-in Shock Guard feature gives you shock and vibration protection to protect your data in case of high shock or sudden movement. These data protection enhancements add up to a more secure, reliable system without the worry.

Review: GREAT DRIVE AND GREAT SERVICE AT A GREAT PRICE... BUT READ THIS REVIEW BEFORE YOU BUY!!!!! - My review is for this product as purchased through the desertcart Seller STORITE! STORITE'S price and customer service were ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING!!! Although I do not feel it was intentional for this Seller, Storite, many sellers use deceptive practices in their descriptions of Hard Drives they sell. The problem is that these drives are "NEW" according to their description, but they do not come with the consumer protections one would normally expect because they have no warranty whatsoever from the manufacturer. Further, they are described as "OEM" which literally means "Original Equipment Manufacturer", and generally means an item is the original item made by the original manufacturer (which in this case is Western Digital). However, over the years this term has come to incorrectly mean that they were "bare" drives originally sold to some OEM Computer manufacturer or wholesaler, not by the actual OEM part manufacturer to an authorized NEW ITEM retailer. Therefore, they have no warranty whatsoever from the original manufacturer. The reason they have no warranty is that these drives were previously sold, in bulk, to some wholesaler or computer manufacturer, and Western Digital therefore shows them as being purchased long ago (in 2006 in the case of the one I ordered), so they have no warranty from Western Digital at all despite being "NEW" (as in, never used). These sellers are not "authorized retailers" and are now selling them after having obtained them through some other party, not directly from Western Digital the drive manufacturer, so although they have never been used they are considered previously sold, with no warranty, by that manufacturer. I only found out this information, after purchasing my "new " hard drive, when I contacted Western Digital to register the drive for its warranty (from WD, which I thought would have been expiring five years after my purchase date). I then contacted Storite (technically Indal Enterprises in Calabasas, CA), the desertcart Seller from which I purchased the drive, to try to get this straightened out. I spoke to an extremely friendly, personable, and helpful individual named "Kevin". After explaining the multiple frustrating emails and phone calls I had been required to make before finding out the disturbing facts regarding my non-existent manufacturer's warranty, and the conflicting warranty information on their/desertcart's website listing for the item, he provided me with the following information/assistance. He gave me what I felt was (1) a very honest and heartfelt apology for my trouble. (2) a very understandable explanation for the lack of a clearly accurate description of the nature of the drive and its warranty that they (Storite) were providing, and (3) the promise that his company was working with desertcart to get a much more thorough and clear description of the nature of the drives added to their listing. He explained that these drives are new, never used in any manner, and still completely sealed in their original, sealed anti-static bags, as originally sold by the manufacturer. He also volunteered to extend my warranty to the longest time noted anywhere on the listing because time periods conflicted on different areas of the listing. Further, he then (4) gave me his personal offer of additional support which fully provided me with full and complete satisfaction. The price was great, the drive worked extremely well, and since I know that WD makes great, fast, dependable hard drives, I'm thrilled. Kevin even gave me another identical new WD hard drive, at a GREAT price, to keep as a "backup" in case my new one ever fails in the future. I just don't think you can find a better deal on a better hard drive anywhere, and the customer service I received from Seller STORITE was absolutely OUTSTANDINGLY EXCEPTIONAL!!! *****ONE GREAT PIECE OF INFORMATION IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING BUYING THIS DRIVE TO REPLACE AN OLD ONE THAT IS FAILING***** Just to let you know, both Western Digital and Seagate (the two top Hard Drive manufacturers) provide free software (made by Acronis) on their websites, and Tech Support via telephone, with which you can very easily "clone" your old hard drive. With this process, the software guides you through making an identical copy of your old hard drive, then transferring that identical copy to the new hard drive (as long as the new one is at least as large in storage capacity) before you use it. This means your new hard drive will already have your operating system (like Windows XP, Vista, 7, or ???) on it, along with all of your other programs and data files, complete, without having to re-load ANYTHING to that new drive individually. HOW GREAT IS THAT!!!
Review: its a pata drive. - It's a drive, with ide. If you know the interface of the drive, you know that your not going to get 6gbs the aging sata 6 would provide. It works for what it's was intended and designed for during that time. I can see this drive being used for tivos and Playstations to replace antiquedo drives. I'm using for an old ide external enclosure And it works find for my needs

It's a drive, with ide. If you know the interface of the drive, you know that your not going to get 6gbs the aging sata 6 would provide.

I'm using for an old ide external enclosure And it works find for my needs

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ it's as described (old , but new as in unused stock from a few years ago)
*by D***D on November 16, 2014*

i put this in a 2002 gateway 700xl , the old 120gb hd was dead. i opened up the pc, made sure i was touching the metal of the tower case while i removed the old hd and plugged this one into its place using the cables that were on the old hard drive ,closed up the pc and turned it on with the win xp restore disc i had from my pc in the disc drive and installed the os. everything went fine . it initially only showed as a 137 gb hd but after researching online with my other pc , i was able to update the old pc to get the xp sp2 & sp3 back on it as well as update drivers from the intel website ( i think one was intel driver accelerator ) finally getting it to recognize the drive size as 250 gb after all the updating , however i had already formatted it at the lower size so the rest showed up as unallocated or free space and after googling i found a program (easeus partition master 10.1 .... it was free) that let me expand the partition to take full advantage of the 250gb, well 232gb . and now so far so good , haven't had any probs (knocks on wood) and its been over a week. it arrived to me in an anti static bag wrapped very heavily in bubble wrap and additional packaging. i was pleased with the carefulness of the package and my kids loved the bubble wrap ,lol. the seller was goharddrive , definitely pleased with them.
