    Hey. For some odd reason, this drive i bought is the only one not compatible with my computer. :icon_roll

    So, It's a Western Digital 400 GB SATA Hard Drive, Model number WD4000KS
    16mb Buffer, 7200 RPM, 300MB/s

    Here's the Western Digital Spec Page on this drive:

    $120
    and i'll warrant it for 2 weeks while you check it out for any defects.
    Possibly open for trades..

    Is this like an OEM drive, meaning you get the hard drive only? Or do you have the box and the hookup cables/install CD with it?

    So if it's new in the box, I'll take it. Please PM me.

    Thanks!

    it's OEM.. but i have an SATA cable for it, and you can download everything off the net that comes on the CD.

    This is literally half price of a new retail drive.

    DO NOT BUY RETAIL DRIVES! If there is any way to buy an OEM drive, do it...

    A little insider tip for everyone.

    What's the reason behind this? I'm guessing it's the cost differences?

    Drive manufacturers send their 'Bin A' drives to the OEMs and the rest of the drives are sent to distribution. What that means is that the best head/media (critical components) combination is in the drive and it had the best performance at drive-level testing. It is similar to Intel 'speed-binning' their processors. Many of the processors in a family are actually identical, but the slower speed processors didn't pass the full speed tests, but passed the slower speed tests... They just rate them for a slower speed and sell them at a slight discount, rather than throwing them away....

    Now you know..... ;)
