This Caviar Blue 320GB capacity drive can be ideal for daily family and business computing, adding storage in desktop PCs or external drives, or adding extra storage space for photos, videos, and music. This Western Digital WD3200AAJB Caviar Blue IDE hard drive offers a hefty 320GB capacity, meaning you can have plenty of room for your photos, videos, and music. It runs on an IDE Ultra ATA100 / ATA-6 PATA interface at 3 Gb/s, which will match the demands of most programs. This drive also has an 8MB buffer size, 4.2ms (nominal) average latency, and a highly efficient 7200 RPM motor. The native command queuing feature and hot pluggable point to point connections can ensure efficient and flexible performance. You can expect a respectable external data transfer rate of 66.6 Mbps with an internal transfer rate of 100 Mbits/s. Western Digital can provide you with reliable and durable drives in the WD3200AAJB IDE hard drive. To start, they build sturdy hardware components, such as using a rigid stainless steel top, which makes it about 1.5 times more durable than average drives. They have also implemented the industry leading ShockGuard technology, which can protect the drive’s mechanics and platter surfaces from impact vibration. For additional non-operational shock tolerance, the SecurePark feature secures the recording heads away from the disk during spin up, spin down, and when the drive is off. This results in much less wear and tear, meaning your drive can really last. If the worst should occur, this hard drive is equipped with hot swap hardware, so you can be confident that your data will not be lost. Finally, the WD3200AAJB storage device can provide better protection for your files through a feature called Data Lifeguard, which utilizes no-touch ramp load technology. Perhaps one of the best features of the model, this Western Digital WD3200AAJB Caviar Blue IDE PATA 3 Gb/s hard drive was built for quiet performance. Western Digital’s WhisperDrive technology reduces noise output to create a virtually silent drive. With a sound emission of 28 dBA, you won’t even know your computer is on. Meanwhile, the state of the art SoftSeek technology streamlines algorithms to minimize seek noise. These same algorithms speed up the drive’s seek times (8.9ms average), which improves battery consumption as well. With its long-term reliability, durability, speed, and broad compatibility, the Western Digital Caviar Blue WD3200AAJB hard drive can please even the most demanding user needs. This Western Digital Caviar Blue WD3200AAJB 320GB 8MB cache IDE HDD internal hard disk drive can provide the best performance if kept between 32 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit with a humidity range between 5 and 95 percent. It is compliant with S.M.A.R.T. standards.
