A 2.5 inch SATA hard drive in a 3.5 inch ICEPACK caddy

DELL

DELL WD1600HLFS 160 GB 10000 RPM 2.5" SATA internal hard drive with 3.5" caddy

SKU CH-6T7P-EST0E MPN WD1600HLFS

A 160 GB, 10,000 RPM 2.5-inch SATA drive with 16 MB cache and an included 3.5-inch caddy for desktop installation

  • 10,000 RPM spindle speed accelerates data access
  • 160 GB capacity stores operating system and core applications
  • 16 MB cache buffers frequent read and write operations
  • 5-inch drive fits laptops and small-form-factor desktops
  • Included 3.5-inch ICEPACK caddy enables standard desktop bay installation

160 GB 10000 RPM SATA drive

The DELL WD1600HLFS is a 2.5 inch SATA hard drive spinning at 10000 RPM with 160 GB capacity and 16 MB cache. It ships inside a 3.5 inch ICEPACK caddy so it fits standard desktop bays. The unit is supplied new and is suited to systems that still rely on the SATA interface.

Sustained throughput at 10000 RPM

The 10000 RPM spindle keeps sequential read and write rates steadier than slower desktop drives during long copy or backup jobs. The 16 MB buffer absorbs small bursts without forcing the platters to wait. Mechanical latency still limits random I/O compared with solid-state storage.

Tool-less caddy eases installation

The included 3.5 inch caddy lets the 2.5 inch drive slide into a standard bay without extra screws or adapters. Alignment pins on the caddy prevent the connector from angling when the drive is pushed home. Builders who need more than 160 GB or a 6 Gbps SATA link will need a different drive.

Questions about this item

How much heat and noise does the 10000 RPM 2.5" drive produce inside a desktop case all day?

The 10000 RPM spindle spins faster than typical desktop drives, so it generates more heat and audible seek noise; the included 3.5" ICEPACK caddy helps dissipate that heat in a standard bay.

What must my desktop already have to install this SATA drive with its 3.5" caddy?

A free 3.5" drive bay, a SATA data cable, a SATA power connector from the PSU, and a motherboard SATA port that supports 3 Gbps operation.

Will this 160 GB SATA drive work alongside an older IDE drive I keep for storage?

Yes, the drive uses a native SATA interface, so it connects to a SATA port while the older IDE drive stays on its own IDE channel or a compatible adapter.
