Description

The listing, 2 TB (2000 GB) Western Digital SATA Hard Drive - 3.5" Desktop HD has ended.

This listing is for a 3.5" (Desktop) Western Digital Caviar Green 2.0TB SATA Hard Drive / 64MB Cache. This is basically a brand new hard drive. The date on it is May 17, 2011. This was purchased late last year and put in a computer that already had 6 TB of hard drive space, but hasn't actually been used to store anything on yet. It has been pulled from the PC it was originally added to for a couple of months now.
This is an awesomely huge hard drive, for those that do not know...2 TeraBytes (TB) = 2,000 GigaBytes (GB) = 2,000,000 MegaBytes (MB).

Just to give an idea of how much this hard drive can store, here are some examples:
DSLR Professional Pics (Average 8MB each) ~ 262,144
Digital Camera Pics (Average 5MB each) ~ 419,430
Songs (Average 4MB each) ~ 524,288
Please keep in mind these are estimated file sizes and average numbers...again this is just to give an idea of how much it can hold.

Actual Specs:
2.0TB SATA / 64MB Cache
S/N : WMAZA4652521
MDL: WD20EARS-00MVWB0
DATE: 17 MAY 2011

This listing is starting at a low 2000 credits and will run for 9 days. I am trying to see how many watchers & fans I can get from this auction.
The auction will end on Friday, July 6th and I will ship it out the same day if I receive the winners shipping information early enough.

Good Luck & Happy Bidding!

No problem on the extra info. My brother has one and swears buy it.

Jun 30th, 2012 at 11:30:11 PM PDT by

They are great hard drives. I have another one identical to it. Haven't decided whether or not to list it yet. That however will probably depend on what this one brings.

Great Auction, It was fun!! Thank you

Jul 6th, 2012 at 7:49:17 AM PDT by

Glad it started working again! :) Kind of busy here at work.

Hello, For some reason this bid locked up @ 50,050. It's not letting me take the bid up ???? I want to bid "HELP"...

Jul 6th, 2012 at 7:13:54 AM PDT by

Sorry, I am trying to watch this but I am working as well.

Jul 6th, 2012 at 7:42:55 AM PDT by

Could you try to include the original receipt? According to people on newegg, this hard drive dies after 18 months often but has at least 4 years on the warranty if they have a receipt. If you ordered it online, you could easily print out the receipt from your email.

Jul 6th, 2012 at 1:19:00 AM PDT by

Sorry but I do not have the receipt, this was bought in a store. However when I look up warranty status on it through WD website...it has a warranty until 6/20/2014.

again!!! what a terrific person!!! thank you for your help & consideration!! i wanted to start teaching my son a little plus learn myself on how to work& build on computers. as i have been told that it is much better to build your own computer to your own standards/liking. plus we both are interested in them and they are important! a must have! thanks again as i will be bidding on many of your items! *awesome* seller here people!!

Jul 2nd, 2012 at 9:15:34 AM PDT by

I agree 100% with building your own system. I have been building/repairing/learning computers for 18 years now. I started modifying my first desktop in 1994 when I was 14. It has become a career for me and I love it. Knowing exactly what you have and having exactly what you want in your PC is in my opinion better than any factory built system out there. Thanks!

"wow" you are a great person!! thank you to all!! especialy (911leo) thank you as i would be highly interested in the 160gb, i just want to boost my gb's on the 80gig ps3 as i dont want to mess up my 60gb ps3 as it is backwards campatible, and i had to replce the fans 3 months ago but that worked great also, no issues now. anyhow lets talk about your auction(s) i will bid on this just a bit to maybe pick up for home computer, but i am real interested in the 2.5 wd harddrive. i am @ fan limit "sorry" but i am watching all your auctions so i can keep in touch. thanks alot for your help!!! the way it should be!! help our fellow people out!

Jul 2nd, 2012 at 7:19:21 AM PDT by

Thank you! I will let you know when I get the 160GB hard drive listed. Should be sometime this week. I just need to verify that it still works flawlessly. I am not into listing things that don't work.

Jul 2nd, 2012 at 7:37:11 AM PDT by

alright everyone i need your help!! does anyone know if this will work on the sony playstation on the os operating system? i know western digigtal is among the best harddrive you can get and this model being the green taged one is even better, i have (4) sony playstation 3's of course 2 are the older fat models and with low gig, (60 & 80) so i am wanting to upgrade them and figure what the heck i will try it myself, i am not a complete idiot and are willing to try, but i do need your all's advice & knowledge if capable/compliant. i do beleive i am looking for a 3.5" hd harddrive and i think thats all i know!! "great auction" and well if that isnt the proper drive then i can just use it on 1 of 5 hp desktops i have here. either way i can use it! "great auction" from an honest seller! I DONT KNOW ABOUT YOU ALL BUT I THINK I SPEAK FOR THE MOST OF US!!! I AM TIRED OF FAKE / BOGUS / DISHONEST / SCAMMING LSTINGS!! "I HATE TO SAY BAD LISTIANS" AS I DONT WANT TO BLAME LISTIA THEMSELVES LIKE AS THERE IS "ALOT" OF GOOD MEMBERS HERE ON THE SITE. THANK YOU!

You are correct that it is a 3.5" hard drive, the Playstation 3 on the other hand uses a 2.5" laptop hard drive. This will not work in a PS3. However, upgrading the hard drive in a PS3 is simple procedure.
1 - Replace the hard drive and Reboot.
2 - It will either reinstall the software on its own or ask you to supply it with a firmware version higher than 3.56...
3 - If it installs on its own...you are ready to go
If it asks you for the firmware...you can download the latest PS3 firmware from Sony's website and copy it onto a USB flash drive, insert in the PS3 and restart and follow instructions on screen.
Just to give you a heads up, I have a Western Digital 2.5" 160GB Sata laptop hard drive that after I do some testing to confirm that it is good, will be listed on here as well. It's no 2TB for sure, but it's better than the small hard drives that come in the PS3 and it will work with it.

You got my backpack Now I'm gonna try an win your hard drive. You got a real deal. I hope I'll do as well on this.Thanks for a great auction :-)

Jun 27th, 2012 at 8:32:11 AM PDT by

Thank You and Good luck :) ...I hope you win it!

Jun 27th, 2012 at 8:48:55 AM PDT by

You have an anti static bag to ship it in?

Jun 30th, 2012 at 7:36:32 PM PDT by

Off the top of my head...I'm going to have to say no. However I will look when I get back to work Monday and see if I can find one. I will update the listing and let you know. Thanks for looking!

Jun 30th, 2012 at 7:41:14 PM PDT by

Would you be able to throw in a SATA cable with it? All I have is IDE and that's not gonna work haha.

Jun 30th, 2012 at 1:47:14 PM PDT by

Sure, not a problem...
Thanks for looking!

For those that don't know the 'Green' designation on WD drives just means it doesn't suck as much power as non 'Green' hdds. That means a lower power bill.

Jun 30th, 2012 at 9:55:01 AM PDT by

Thanks spixxen for the clarification. I didn't think to put that in the description.
