Western Digital WD Blue WD800BB 80GB 7200 RPM 2MB Cache IDE Ultra ATA100 / ATA-6 3.5" Hard Drive

Pros: I purchased over 20 of these drives and every single one of them have worked without any problems. For a $15 refurb IDE HDD can't beat it.

Cons: Old Technology, but some people still want their old systems and these are suitable replacements when their HDDs die.

Other Thoughts: I've used these to fix old systems with dead HDDs. I'm not sure how some of these people get 3 DOA in a row. They claim their tech knowledge is high but I wonder if they ever even formatted the drive.

I see so many negative reviews on any hard drive, but I've never received a DOA WD Drive (which I usually purchase), maybe a couple DOA Seagates, but that was years ago.

Pros: Good paper weight

Cons: Look at the refund and replacement policy. That might give you an idea of what your getting yourself into.

Pros: cheap

Cons: ide

Other Thoughts: Good external carrier storage cheapo. works.

Pros: I used these to build my house because of the durability. Bricks crack... But these, they are fantastic. I can also throw them at birds and use them kill squirrels. Thanks WD XOXO, lots of love

Cons: None

Pros: easy old IDE connection

Cons: 1st 1 DOA second booted right up. 7 years old and still running WD builds good HD's

Other Thoughts: Return process is fabulous!!

Pros: Works great out of the box
Quiet
Cheap!

Cons: None so far

Other Thoughts: Put this in two old computers with PATA motherboard interfaces, a 15 year old Gateway running Win98 and a 10-year old Dell running Windows XP. Worked fine on old power/data cables. Supported OS installs on the first try to both.

Was a little worried about refurbished products, but they turned out to be just fine. Makes me think WD has good standards for what they will re-sell.

Pros: Works great in old dimension 4500.

Cons: none

Pros: works (only with 80-pin cable). Drive is not recognize with 40 pin cable.

Cons: Crystal Diskinfo says power ON hrs = 23000. Drive is working for now, but can die any minute since pwr ON-hrs is so high.

Pros: price - got it at 15
delivery - free shipping, but got it in 2 days. packaged in heavy bubble wrap.

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: bought this intended for xbox1 to use as htpc. couldn't find torx bit so installed in an extra barebone case. partitioned, formatted, and installed windows just fine.

Pros: Installed and it seems to work fine.

Cons: It runs a little noisier than I expected. I could hear it and kind of expected it to be perfectly quiet. The drive is not formatted and is not recognized by the system. You will need to use Disk Manager to assign a drive letter to it and format it. Definitely not plug and play.
