Does this drive suport western digital EIDE and SATA drives?
1782350
Yes it does I even used it with a IDE 2.5 and 3.5 WD HDD to clone both WD HDD Sata's with the free software from WD to clone the HDD's, the only problem so far is the docking station died on me within 2yrs. They paid to ship it back to them and waiting to get it back now. Warranty expires in Jan 2013.

I have not had a drive that this unit will not connect to on either SATA or EIDE ports.
1782352
Yes it does. There is an adapter port and cables for the EIDE on the front of the dock and the slot on the top supports both 2.5 and 3.5 sata drives. I own three of them and am very satisfied with the product. I use them for my computer repair business

egarding HDD, an internal SATA 3.5" Consumer Electronics Grade one would be compatible with our system. We recommend that you only purchase Consumer Electronics Grade Hard Drives such as: Western Digital Audio Video Green Power (AV-GP), Seagate SV35 Series, Hitachi Cinema Star Series. You may go Amazon, search for "Western Digital AV-GP".

Yes it has a SATA connection as that is the interface it is designed to use. For further details go to OEM website: http://www.asus.com/us/Optical_Drives/DRW24B3ST/

Yes. I have this connected to four drives in a software raid in which two drives are Western Digital (Western Digital RE3 and Western Digital Caviar Black)

You can use any Sata drive. They must be the same size. If they're dissimilar sizes it will only be as large as the smallest drive. So far it's worked flawlessly

Please be more specific in your question. Example: is the WDC WD5000BPKT-22PK4T0 ATA Device Manufacturer Western Digital Form Factor GB/2.5 compatible in a 3.5" SATA II installation. Answer: Yes. Please use adapter rails to install the device inside you computer.

I only have experience with the Western Digital one, and it works fine once you use Acronis to format it. It's up to you. But, keep in mind if you do get the Western Digital one, they send the drive alone, no screws and no cables, just the drive.

Yes, it will work with mostly any SATA device, however, the form factor is more geared toward optical drives. you would need adapter rails to get a hard drive to stay put in the casing.

Yes, you have a SATA controller so this drive will work. You should be able to install an even larger drive if you want as well.

Typical you would want a Western Digital purple drive. You can try this drive. It should work tho.

It actually depends on the e-Sata that you have on your system. I haven't looked into this but you need to do a bit of research on this if you're interested. Good luck.

Roger, You driver is also known as IDE or EIDE or PATA. The Station only works with SATA drives. So the short answer is no, it is not.

I installed a 2TB Western Digital internal drive and it works just fine. You can transfer files from your main PC onto this internal drive with the supplied cable that comes with this unit.My set up works great

If the drive is a standard sata it will not work. U will need a sata cable. This is a micro sata cable for 1.8 drives

I would say it doesn't matter if this drive will work with you're system, don't buy it. The Buffalo DriveStation is a piece of junk, read the reviews. Mine didn't last a month and I lost a lot of pictures and video. Hope this helps.

I haven't opened my case yet, but I have a 500 GB solid state drive. It's possible it can be a Western Digital, but I don't know if they vary based on drive size. The 1 TB drive could be from a different manufacturer.

I believe a Western Digital drive would work fine. I bought 2 of them for myself.
