It uses the description PATA technology which is the same thing as IDE that is found in older PCs like the one I'm keeping alive. I also discovered that XP does not like to go above 128 MG so I quit fighting that limitation and just underutilize the drive or partition it into to logical drives. **Q: is it up to date?** A: I ordered one in October 2018 from AMTECH and the unit that was delivered was manufactured in May 2011. They are no longer manufactured by Western Digital, but I don't know when manufacturing stopped. **Q: Will this work to replace my dead hard drive in my original Xbox (not the 360 or 1)?** A: Well, Yes you can. But you will have to do some work. I don't know how but this website has instructions.http://www.se7ensins.com/forums/threads/how-to-create-a-xbox-360-hard-drive-from-scratch-western-digital-only.897465/Hope you can do it. Let me know if it works.David **Q: will this work in a macbook air first gen?** A: No, it is the wrong physical size 3.5 inches vs 1.8 inches and different connectors. ## Frequently Bought Together - WD Blue 160 GB Desktop Hard Drive: 3.5 Inch, 7200 RPM, PATA, 8 MB Cache - WD1600AAJB - 24" 40-Pin 80-Wire Ultra ATA 2-Drive Ribbon Cable, Manhattan 332781, Model:, Electronic Store - StarTech.com IDE to SATA Hard Drive or Optical Drive Adapter Converter, 40-Pin PATA to 2.5" SATA HDD / SSD / ODD Converter, TAA --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1242458-wd-blue-160-gb-desktop-hard-drive-3-5-inch](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1242458-wd-blue-160-gb-desktop-hard-drive-3-5-inch) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-21*
