About this product
This is a used Western Digital WD5000AVDS 500GB internal hard drive, designed for surveillance applications. It features a 3.5-inch form factor and connects via a SATA II 3.0Gb/s interface. With a 32MB cache, it offers a moderate storage solution, potentially suitable for older systems or specific surveillance recording needs where high capacity isn't the primary concern.
Our take
For those seeking an affordable hard drive, this used 500GB Western Digital unit could be an option, particularly if you're looking for a surveillance-grade drive. Keep in mind it's a used item, so expect some cosmetic wear, though it's stated to be fully operational. The SATA II interface is older, and 500GB isn't a lot of space by today's standards, but the 32MB cache is decent for its capacity. The price is attractive for a functional drive, especially if you have a specific, less demanding use case in mind.
