Capacity and role

The GoHardDrive 160GB desktop drive delivers 160GB of storage on a 3.5 inch form factor spinning at 7200 RPM with an 8MB cache. It connects through a SATA 3.0Gb/s interface and is intended for daily computing tasks such as operating system boot, application storage and general file keeping. The bare drive packaging suits system builders and upgraders who already have mounting hardware and cables. White label origin means the unit is manufactured by a major drive maker for OEM channels.

Compatibility check

Verify that the host system provides a free SATA data port and a matching SATA power connector before ordering. The drive requires a standard 3.5 inch drive bay or an appropriate mounting bracket in the chassis. Confirm the motherboard or controller supports SATA 3.0Gb/s operation; older SATA 1.5Gb/s ports will work but limit throughput. No additional drivers are needed for common desktop operating systems.

Sustained workload behaviour

During continuous read or write activity the 7200 RPM spindle maintains consistent rotational speed while the 8MB cache buffers bursts to smooth throughput. Data Lifeguard and Shock Guard features help protect data integrity when the drive operates for extended periods in desktop, NAS, backup or CCTV DVR roles. The SATA 3.0Gb/s link sets the maximum sustained transfer ceiling for long sequential operations.

Questions about this item

Does the drive ship with mounting screws or a SATA cable?

The unit is supplied as a bare drive only; mounting screws and a SATA data cable must be sourced separately.

Is the 160 GB capacity enough for a daily-use desktop?

160 GB suits a light operating system install plus documents, but media libraries or modern games will need additional storage.

What does the 7200 RPM spindle mean for everyday use?

The 7200 RPM speed shortens load times for the operating system and applications compared with slower laptop drives.
