## Questions & Answers

**Q: is it SATA technology?**
A: No it is NOT SATA technology.  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.
