Vintage Western Digital Caviar 280 IDE hard drive 85 MB. Early, Classic WD hard drive. sn: WT2232096717
Purchased directly from Western Digital distribution on Dec 1, 1992 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.
