Western Digital Hard Drive - Internal EIDE Retail Box Kit 40gb 7200 RPM

Author's Rating: Rating: 5/5 stars

Pros: easy installation, good documentation, complete kit, flawless performance, quiet operation, 3yr warranty

Cons: needs Ultra ATA/100 to really see improved performance from 7200 rpm

Bottom Line:
A fine drive that has a lot of space for a very good price (paid $70). Toll free tech support, along with complete instructions makes this drive a winner. Read More
