Applications
The WD Caviar AC26400 was a mainstream desktop hard drive aimed at home and business PCs during the late 1990s, when 6.4GB represented a generous capacity for the time. It connects via the 40-pin IDE/EIDE interface standard on motherboards from that era and is suitable for use as a primary or secondary drive in vintage or retro PC builds, period-correct restorations, and legacy industrial or embedded systems that rely on PATA storage. It is also commonly sought for maintaining older systems — such as late-1990s workstations, early Pentium II/III machines, and industrial PCs — that require a compatible IDE replacement drive. The EIDE standard supported transfer modes up to Ultra DMA/33 on drives of this generation.
