Western Digital 80GB 7200RPM SATA Bulk/OEM Hard Drive WD800JD Reviews
I use these drives all of the time and Amazon's price and shipping were comptetive and our normal supplier was out. Books I've received from Amazon have been packed better. We will be returning these unopened, since who knows what happened to them in transit, sliding around inside the box with two pieces of air pillow packing that were completely ineffective. We ordered two drives which were loosely packed in a box that was crushed on one end.
This drive is a SATA-300 hard drive. They (2) replaced IDE drives and the speed is unbelievable. As a note, this drive is a 300 SATA drive, so a 300 controller is preferred although not necessary. They are noticeably faster and much quieter. If the drive is attached to a 150 controller, it will not spin up unless jumpered to a speed of 150. Conversion from IDE to SATA (this is a Windows machine) requires the SATA drivers to be loaded to Windows before the drive is copied.
I was surprised at the poor packaging and, returned the drive unused. Other than Amazon's packaging, the drive arrived just shrink wrapped: No manufacturer's package, no set up or installation instructions at all.
I received this last week. You can go to the Western Digital website and print out a manual if you need to. Also does not come with a SATA cable. There was NO documentation. However, it does work fine and I have not had any problems after a week of use. I know how to install these, done it many times before. Upon opening the box, there is only the drive in the packing, exactly as it appears on the photo above.
Item currently working well. Item was shipped promptyly. Received before date specified.
