40 GB SATA desktop drive
The Western Digital Caviar SE WD400JD is a 40 GB 3.5 inch internal hard drive with a SATA 3.0Gb/s interface. It spins at 7200 RPM and includes an 8 MB cache for everyday desktop storage tasks. The bare-drive packaging suits system integrators and upgraders fitting a standard drive bay.
Suits legacy builds not high-capacity needs
This drive fits older desktops, DVRs or industrial equipment that require a 3.5 inch SATA drive with modest capacity and cool, quiet operation. Buyers who want more storage space or faster transfer rates should look at something else.
40 GB capacity decides fit
The single specification that determines whether this is the right part is the 40 GB capacity. If the target system or application needs exactly this amount of space the drive matches; otherwise a different capacity is required.
