Western Digital Caviar® SE WD5000AAKB Hard Drive

I have an older Gateway with one of the first P4 1.8ghz processors in it. It came with a 40gb drive which when I got it back in the very early 2000s I did not think I would live long enough to ever fill it up to its capacity. Well along came things like IPods, Digital camcorders and the like and before I knew it I was about 90% full and the drive would have to be defraged after almost every download otherwise it would slow down to a snails pace. I went with a 250gb drive and got it about 60% full when it died so I decided on a 500 and chose the above WD500AAKB. THe first one I got was defective out of the box but the replacement has been working fine so far, is very fast in retriving data and has I hope all the drive space I will need for a while. THe price was great for a brand new oem drive, the company took care of replacing my defective one very fast and my old Gateway with only 320mb of RamDrive ram is running like new. For under $100.00 it was the best and cheapest way to upgrade without having to buy a new pc.
