Applications
The DAQA-32160 is a mid-1990s parallel ATA hard drive from IBM's desktop storage line. Drives in this capacity range (1–3 GB) were standard equipment in IBM and IBM-compatible desktop PCs from roughly 1995 through the late 1990s — appearing in machines running MS-DOS, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, OS/2 Warp, and early Linux distributions. The IDE/ATA interface was universal across consumer and business desktops of the era, connecting directly to the motherboard's IDE controller via a 40-pin ribbon cable. Today, drives like this are sought for legacy system restoration and repair — particularly for vintage IBM PC compatibles, IBM PS/2-era systems, and period-correct machines where a modern drive would be incompatible with the BIOS or operating system. The 2.1 GB capacity and specific drive geometry (4092 CYL / 16 heads / 63 sec) are useful for matching replacement drives in systems with older BIOS translation limits.
This IBM DAQA-32160 76H0963 2.1GB 3.5" IDE hard drive has been inspected and appears to be in good used condition. The drive shows normal cosmetic wear consistent with prior service use. The top cover, label, and IDE/power connectors all look intact and undamaged. Note: the existing description claimed this drive was tested; however, that claim appeared only in marketing text without a documented condition record, so we are not asserting tested/working status here — please see our photos and contact us with any questions before purchasing. Please note: We have multiple units in stock — yours may not be the one shown in the photos, however, it will be similar in condition and function.
