Xerox 320 GB Hard Disk (C8000 only)

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

If you’ve got a Xerox C8000 and you specifically need extra storage for it, this kind of drive is one of those “safe but not exciting” purchases. The big question isn’t whether it’s a decent internal disk (it should be), it’s whether you actually *need* the upgrade versus tweaking your workflow/queues first. At **£289.40 ex-VAT for only 320 GB**, it’s priced like a part that’s aimed at keeping a managed print device running reliably, not like a bargain bin PC hard drive.

I’d recommend it **only if you’re certain it’s compatible with the C8000 and you’ve got a real storage pressure point** (high job volumes, large stored documents, busy environments where the device is doing more than just printing). If you’re not already in that situation, it’s hard to justify—there are often cheaper paths to reduce “storage-related” failures (e.g., clearing stored jobs, changing retention policies, or addressing configuration). Also, if you’re buying this through a reseller, double-check the practicalities: whether it includes proper support/DOA coverage and whether installation time is covered—because on these machines, downtime costs more than the parts.

So: **buy it if it’s the right part for your Xerox C8000 and you genuinely need the capacity**. **Otherwise, I’d pause**—£289.40 ex-VAT for 320 GB isn’t a great value proposition unless you’re solving a specific operational problem.
