This versatile drive works in both Mac and PC computers that accept 3.5-inch form factor SATA II drives, and it is designated for use on both desktop computers and laptops.

Western Digital provides you with reliable and durable drives in the Caviar Blue HDD drive line. To start, it builds sturdy hardware components, such as using a rigid stainless steel top, which makes it about 1.5 times more durable than average drives. It has also implemented the industry-leading ShockGuard technology, which protects the drive’s mechanics and platter surfaces from impact vibration. For additional non-operational shock tolerance, the DuraStep Ramp 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, giving your drive longevity. If the worst should occur, this hard drive is equipped with hot swap, ensuring you that your data is not lost. Finally, this storage device provides 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 all, this WD3200AAJS-60Z0A0 Caviar Blue SATA II 3 GB per second 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 25 dBA, you don’t even know your laptop 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 (8.9 millisecond average), which improves battery consumption as well. With its long-term reliability, durability, speed, and broad compatibility, the WD3200AAJS-60Z0A0 Caviar Blue SATA II hard drive pleases even the most demanding laptop and portable device needs. This Western Digital Caviar Blue WD3200AAJS-60Z0A0 320 GB HDD internal hard drive provides 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. Actual dimensions of the Caviar Blue drive are 1 inch high by 4 inches wide by 5.8 inches deep, with a weight of 1.32 pounds.
