Part #: WD1600AAJS / UPC: 718037715025 Model: WD1600AAJSWD has advanced the caching algorithms of this and improved Caviar family of hard drives, resulting in next-generation high performance that beats all competing 8MB-cache drives. Add to that SATA II 300 MB/s transfer rates and these drives push the boundaries of performance for their class.Heat is a major contributor to hard drive wear, and cool d ...[More]rive operating temperatures help increase long-term drive reliability. WD achieves the lowest operating temperature of any hard drive in its class, including slower drives spinning at 5,400 RPM, by lowering the drives' power consumption through advanced design of electronics and firmware.Today's PCs, digital video recorders and gaming machines are increasingly operated in environments where noise is less tolerated. WD minimizes WD Caviar noise to levels virtually below the threshold of human hearing with its WhisperDrive technology, which features a highly efficient power driver design. And to cut seek noise, Soft Seek technology streamlines read/write seeking algorithms, resulting in the drive operating more efficiently when accessing and writing data.SecureConnect provides a 500 percent stronger cable-to-drive connection than first-generation SATA hard drives and cables. Also ensures backward compatibility with legacy SATA cables and backplanes. FlexPower connector technology accepts power from both industry-standard and SATA power supplies. Data Protection Enhancements include Data Lifeguard, Data Lifeguard Tools and Shock Guard. [Hide]| New: | $39.99 - $81.90 (71 stores) |

Good Hard Drive Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 day to 1 week This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Very reliable hard drives. I have had over 12 Western Digital Hard drives over the last 6 years and only had 1 bad drive on delivery. I edit tons video and run these drives a lot! Never had one go bad on me yet.
Cons: It's not the 10K RPM Raptor. If you want to edit video or play media, get the 10K RPM version of this drive. The extra m... [Read SpizyChicken's Complete Review for Western Digital WD1600AAJS 160GB 7200RPM 8MB BUFFER SERIAL ATA II/ 300, 3.5INCH, 8.9MS SEEK, CAVIAR SERIES S at Newegg.com] |

8 MB cache not enough for Vista Tech Level: somewhat high Ownership: 1 week to 1 month This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: CHEAP data storage - not really $/byte compared to the 750GB.
Cons: This drive should not be used for VISTA OS. My WD 250GB with 16 MB cache loads Vista in less than a minute. This drive took over two minutes to get to the login screen.
Other Thoughts: Guess I'll use it for backup storage or regi... [Read Flip's Complete Review for Western Digital WD1600AAJS 160GB 7200RPM 8MB BUFFER SERIAL ATA II/ 300, 3.5INCH, 8.9MS SEEK, CAVIAR SERIES S at Newegg.com] |

38% Failure Rate Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 day to 1 week This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Cheap...in all qualities.
Cons: I order 8 of these drives and 3 of them were DOA. Since these are "OEM" most likely they are refurbished and of diminished quality compared to other Western Digital drives. Another noted, the quality of the metal in these drives feels flimsy and the edges are sharp.
