About this product
The Western Digital WD600BB is a 60GB 3.5-inch internal hard drive featuring a 7200 RPM rotation speed and a 2 MB cache. This EIDE (Enhanced IDE) hard drive is designed for desktop systems, offering a faster rotational speed compared to many drives of its capacity. It's a Western Digital branded product, suitable for older computers that require a 3.5" form factor and the EIDE interface for storage.
Our take
For those still maintaining an older desktop PC with an EIDE interface, this Western Digital 60GB drive could be a functional replacement. The 7200 RPM rotation speed is a nice touch for a drive of this vintage and capacity, potentially offering snappier performance than slower 5400 RPM alternatives. However, the 2 MB cache is quite small, reflecting its age. At 60GB, it's definitely not for modern storage needs, but if you need to resurrect an old system or retrieve data, it's a Western Digital product that's been tested. Just ensure your motherboard supports EIDE.
