Western Digital Model Number: WD400BBRTL
Hey.
Sorry I didn't originally post the exact model # of the Western Digital hard drive that I installed in my VF-16.
I just dug the box up from my basement. It is model #WD400BBRTL. 40 gig, 7200 rpm, 2mb cache, 8.9 ms average seek time, IDA-ATA interface.
I THINK I sent the jumper to Cable Select, but I can't remember for sure. Took about 1 day to format.
I think the only other thing is...that you should have the latest O/S update installed on your VF-16 in order to recognize the larger hard drives (especially anything over 40 gig). I've got 3.13 installed on mine, and it works great.
HTH,

P.S. Some people on other boards have mentioned that you should stay away from the faster drives for your VF-16 or VF-160 - overheating may be an issue with the really fast drives (> 7200 rpm).
