About this product
This Western Digital Caviar SE WD3200AAJS is a used 320GB internal desktop hard drive. It operates at 7200 RPM with an 8MB cache, and features a 3.5-inch form factor connecting via a SATA II interface. The drive has been erased (DoD 5220.22 M Compliant) and tested, confirmed by the seller to be in working condition. Manufactured in Thailand, it is compatible with PCs and is offered in a silver color.
Our take
If you're in the market for a highly affordable internal drive for an older desktop or a lightweight storage solution, this used Western Digital Caviar SE 320GB is an option. The 7200 RPM speed is good for performance, but the 8MB cache is a bit on the smaller side, which might slightly affect access times compared to drives with larger caches. The seller states it's been wiped and tested, which is reassuring for a used product. However, the caveat about potentially having up to 25 bad sectors is something to consider seriously before purchase, as it could impact long-term reliability.
