Vintage Western Digital Caviar 280 IDE hard drive 85 MB.
Early, Classic WD hard drive.
sn: WT2232096717

  • Purchased directly from Western Digital distribution for our computer production.
  • Removed by our service dept decades ago during a routine upgrade and has been in protected storage since.
  • These drives had relatively little use — we had an aggressive upgrade program so most drives were upgraded after only 12 to 24 months. The removed drives have been stored undisturbed for decades.
  • Great choice for a 90's period-accurate retro system.
  • This is a nice size because it is within certain capacity limits of early vintage BIOS and O/S.
  • Drive has been completely wiped (to delete customer data) and reformatted.
  • MS-DOS 6.22 freshly installed.
  • Scandisk full surface scan shows zero errors (see screenshot).
  • Chkdsk shows zero bad sectors (see screenshot).
  • Should boot right up in any compatible system.
  • Clean, NEAR MINT condition.

You will receive exactly the item you see in the photos.

Shipped via USPS with full tracking from a USPS regional SCF (Sectional Center Facility) so delivery anywhere within the U.S. is only a few days away (excluding the occasional USPS misdirect).

RETURNS:
• Sold with 30 Day Warranty — If the drive fails or a serious defect not listed is found within 30 days of purchase, I will stand behind the product.
• Please contact me with details of any issue so we can resolve the problem or work out an appropriate solution.
• I will provide a reasonable amount of technical assistance if you have questions concerning the configuration or proper use of the item.
