Western Digital Scorpio Blue WD400VE-00HCT0 is a 40GB 2.5-inch hard disk drive designed for portable computing and external storage applications. The drive operates at 5400 RPM with an 8MB cache buffer and connects via ATA-100 (PATA/IDE) interface, delivering sustained throughput suitable for legacy laptop and external enclosure deployments. This form factor and interface type make it compatible with older notebooks, external USB-to-IDE adapters, and retro computing builds that require compact, low-power storage solutions. Typical use cases include upgrading aging laptops, populating external storage docks, or archival applications where PATA connectivity is available. Tested and guaranteed; available via quote.
