Thank you and thank all for your help.

The drive I bought has only WD1600 printed on.

I bought it on a computer expo - where lots and lots of vendors
selling the same item, and all of them advertised it as ATA-133 - they
have two versions, one with 2MB buffer, the other one 8MB buffer - and
that's about all I have about the drive, other than the one I got from
WD's website.

Anyway, I am doing test drive on the drive right now.

Thanks a lot to all, again !!!
