Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Western Digital's WD Protege hard drives are designed for the value segment of the desktop PC market. Ideal for entry-level PCs, this member of the WD family offers the same quality, reliability, and service you've come to expect with all Western Digital hard drives.

Data Protection Enhancements

Data Lifeguard is an expanded set of data protection tools that includes shock protection, an 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 and 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 for WD Protege drives. Shock Guard allows instantaneous data protection at high shock values to achieve leading shock specifications.

Superior Reliability

The WD Protege design offers superior servo performance and areal density. For added robustness, WD uses thicker platters and has enhanced the shock levels with a new cover design and additional baseplate stiffening. This new flexible platform can be used for multiple generations to come.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very Quiet, but Doesn't Last Long, March 10, 2007
This review is from: WesternDigital 40GB EIDE ULTRA/ATA-100 5400 RPM Internal Hard Drive ( WD400EB ) (Personal Computers)
I was initially very pleased with this disk as a cheap way to revive my Pentium III whose disk had failed. This WD disk was so quiet you barely knew it was running. But it lasted only 13 months! It failed without ANY warning. And worst of all is the WAY it failed: it just stopped spinning. So it was impossible to retrieve any of the data. Of course, it made it through the one-year warranty period! Western Digital, thanks so very much for taking away my photos, e-mails, etc.!
