WD Caviar SE 80GB desktop drive

This Western Digital Caviar SE drive provides 80GB of storage on a 3.5-inch form factor for desktop systems. It spins at 7200RPM with an 8MB cache and connects via a SATA 1.5Gb/s interface. The drive is supplied in new condition.

Suits basic storage upgrades

This capacity suits users adding a secondary drive for documents or backups on older motherboards with SATA ports. Builders needing more space for modern operating systems or large media libraries should consider higher-capacity models. Systems requiring faster transfer rates will not benefit from the 1.5Gb/s link speed.

Questions about this item

Do I need a free 3.5-inch drive bay and a SATA power connector to install this drive?

Yes, the drive fits a standard 3.5-inch bay and draws power from a SATA power connector supplied by the PSU.

Will this SATA 1.5Gb/s drive work on a motherboard that only has SATA 3Gb/s or 6Gb/s ports?

It will operate at the 1.5Gb/s link speed; newer SATA ports are backward compatible so the drive functions normally.
