WD30EZRSDTLSP - Western Digital Caviar Green 3TB 5400RPM SATA 3GB/s 64MB Cache 3.5-inch Hard Disk Drive

Once again leading the way in the storage industry, WD now offers 2.5 TB and 3 TB hard drives, the world's largest capacities to date on a single drive. At such high capacities certain compatibility issues arise. There are a number of host bus adapter (HBA) and chipset vendors not currently offering drivers that support drives larger than 2.19 TB. To provide a solution for these types of compatibility issues, WD is bundling WD Caviar Green 2.5 TB and 3 TB drives with an ACHI-compliant HBA that, once installed, allows the operating system to use a known driver to correctly support large capacity drives.To learn more about the 2.19 TB SATA barrier and the steps we're taking to ensure a smooth transition to large capacity drives, click here.To understand if your system will support a hard drive with greater than 2.19 TB, consult your OS, Motherboard and USB bridge device solution providers from the list below before you attempt to install in your system.
