WD 500GB WD Caviar Blue PATA 3.5" Hard Drive

The Western Digital 500GB WD Caviar Blue PATA 3.5" Hard Drive features ample storage, quiet operation and low power consumption. With a 500GB storage capacity, PATA interface and transfer speeds up to 100 MB/s, it's ideal for unique / legacy systems that are not compatible with SATA. The Caviar Blue benefits from ShockGuard technology that protects the drive mechanics from shocks. It also uses NoTouch, which prevents the recording heads from resting on the disk during spin up, spin down, and when the drive is off. This results in a more reliable drive due to the limited head wear. The Caviar Blue is also tested rigorously to ensure compatibility with most systems.
