Applications
The Samsung VG33402A dates from the mid-to-late 1990s, the era when IDE/PATA was the dominant hard drive interface for IBM-compatible PCs. Drives in this capacity range — 1GB to 4GB — were standard in desktop computers running MS-DOS, Windows 95, Windows 98, and early Windows NT systems, as well as embedded industrial PCs, vintage workstations, and legacy CNC or automation controllers that used standard IDE interfaces. Today these drives remain in demand for restoring vintage computers to working condition, maintaining older industrial equipment that requires a specific small-capacity IDE drive, and hobbyist retro-computing projects. This drive has been pre-formatted and boots to a C:/ prompt, saving the buyer the setup step.
This Samsung VG33402A 3.4GB 3.5" IDE hard drive has been tested, wiped, FDISK'd, and formatted, and is in good working condition. It boots to a waiting C:/ prompt and all previous data has been securely erased. The drive shows normal cosmetic wear consistent with previous use.
