Thread: Western Digital WD7500AAKS Seven fifty GB SATA HDD

For various months, the fight for the largest client hard drive was just fought with Hitachi and Seagate. First, just Seagate was in it with its 750GB hard drive utilizing perpendicular recording tech. Then, Hitachi determined to skip 750GB and go straight to 1,000GB. Seagate has declared its One TB hard drive, but we have still to acquire 1 in our hands or look it in the retail channel. Currently, a fresh combatant eventually stepped into the ring as well: Western Digital figured the fray with a 750GB extending.

We are not confirm why Western Digital expected so far to extend a drive largest than Five Hundred GB, but we are glad to see the competition heating up. In addition, with memory costs so less just now, Western Digital's move looks instead smart. The company can extends its flagship drive at a so pleasing cost. The MSRP for the new 750GB WD Caviar SE16.


Although it did not come in complete retail trim, our example arrived with all of the similar goodies you would search in a retail package, adding a Quick Install Guide, a CD with Information Lifeguard Tools, four screws and a Series ATA wire with Secure Connect.


When the final WD Caviar SE16 drive we reviewed added a Four-pin (Molex style) power link, the WD7500AAKS does not. It just adds SATA power and SATA information links. There is too a set of VIII pins that can be jumpered for different circumstances. For rather, when pins One and Two are jumpered, SSC is changed.
