You know, the only problem with the whole "use what you've got" concept is that sometimes technology changes and you're stuck with gear that doesn't play well with the new stuff. It used to be you couldn't swing a dead skunk without hitting an IDE drive or two, but not it's all SATA, SATA, SATA everywhere you look. Good thing for you, Western Digital still makes these bad boys. A Western Digital 160GB WD1600AAJB 3.5" internal EIDE hard drive will work great with that legacy computer or hard drive recorder of yours. Even better, the format may be "ancient" now, but the quality's nothing to scoff at. Spinning at a professional-standard 7,200rpm, the WD1600AAJB maintains a seek time of only 8.9ms - that's plenty fast enough for high track counts and massive audio files. What's more, Western Digital even has an eye to the future, ensuring your WD1600AAJB will keep running, thanks to a sweet 3-year warranty. THREE YEARS!? Who knows, by then maybe even SATA will be obsolete.
