You do not need to download and install the driver software for your Western Digital WD2500AAJB hard disk because this device does not need a driver to function properly. This is called Plug-and-Play device. Some of the examples of these devices are mouse, speaker, keyboard, microphone and other. You can read more about plug-and-play devices here:
