Additional Specifications

Frequency Band: Superior Performance: The Special Edition hard drive provides a higher percentage of cache hits and significantly faster time to data than industry-standard 2 MB versions. Within the complex operations of hard drives, the buffer is used to hold the results of recent reads from the disk, and also to "pre-fetch" information that is likely to be requested in the near future. The use of an increased buffer improves the performance by reducing the number of physical accesses to the disk and allowing data to stream from the disk uninterrupted by mechanical operations. Data Lifeguard: Data Lifeguard is an expanded set of data protection tools that includes shock protection, and environmental protection system, and embedded error detection and repair features that automatically find, isolate, and repair problem areas that may develop over the extended use of the hard drive. With these enhanced data reliability features, the drive can perform more accurate monitoring, error repair, and deliver exceptional data security. Data Lifeguard Tools is a set of software utilities that work in conjunction with the embedded Data Lifeguard features to make hard drive installation, drive management diagnostics, and repair simple and worry-free. Shock Guard provides outstanding improvements in shock and vibration protection. Shock Guard allows instantaneous data protection at high shock values to achieve leading shock specifications. Ultra ATA/100: Western Digital hard drives set the industry performance standard by providing Ultra ATA/100 technology. This interface allows for data transfer rates of up to 100 MB per second, 50 percent faster than Ultra ATA/66, resulting in increased performance and data integrity. Ultra ATA/100 is also backward-compatible. 7200 RPM Performance: 7200 RPM hard drives provide 33 percent faster disk transfer rates than 5400 RPM hard drives. This performance boost yields perceptible improvement in real world reaction time on the PC. -Retail Kit

WD Caviar Edición Especial 80GB

Puntos Fuertes: So far it is running OK

Puntos Débiles: WDC's customer service is very poor.

After opening the box I found out that it came with a 1 year warranty. It had a flier offering to extend the warranty to 3 years for $14.50, provided it was done on-line. When I registered the drive and checked the warranty, it showed that it expired in November 2004, effectively shortening me 1 1/2 months. When I tried to extend the warranty, their system refused to let me. I called customer...

WD Caviar Edición Especial 80GB

Puntos Fuertes: Fats and quiet

Puntos Débiles: Had to run scan disk and defrag to get the drive to run as advertised

I installed this drive as a slave to hold video, music and picture files. The WD Data Lifeguard Tools made installation easy. However, it ran dog slow. I ran defrag, but I got a disk error message. I ran a Thorough Scandisk, which took hours, then ran defrag again. It took only minutes to defrag the disk. Now the drive runs like a bat out of hell. It's fast and very quiet. Plan to replace my...

WD Caviar Edición Especial 80GB

Puntos Fuertes: NONE!!!

Puntos Débiles: NOISEY

This drive is a noisey piece of crap!! There is always a constant whine. My drive also rattles and the light constantly flickers. I contacted the WD company and ran their diagnostic software. According to them the drive is working fine. I purchased this drive at Officemax for 19.99 after rebate. At the time I thought I was getting a bargain. After listening to all the noise this drive emits I...

WD Caviar Edición Especial 80GB

Puntos Fuertes: Fast,Fast,Fast! Quiet, dependable, works like a dream.

Puntos Débiles: None, came with cable, Data Lifeguard disk, and a $40 rebate!

This drive with the 8MB buffer is a gift from above, and I'll never question WD reliability, as I've owned nothing but since 1998. As of 5/28/03, Outpost.com will sell you this drive for $70 after rebate! My old 80GB 2MB cache WD drive still runs like a top, it's in my newly-built system storing all my tunes. Get this drive, you WON'T be disappointed!
