Deskstar 180GXP 180GB IDE drive

This new HGST Deskstar 180GXP model IC35L180AVV207 is a 3.5 inch internal hard drive with a 180GB capacity. It spins at 7200 RPM and includes an 8MB cache on an IDE Ultra ATA100 interface. The bare drive arrives without cables or mounting hardware.

Suits legacy IDE systems; not for other interfaces

The drive serves machines that still use a parallel ATA connection and need a genuine replacement part. It fits 3.5 inch bays in older desktops or industrial equipment that recognise the Deskstar 180GXP series. Builders whose motherboards lack an IDE header cannot install this unit.

IDE Ultra ATA100 decides compatibility

The single specification that determines fit is the IDE Ultra ATA100 interface, also labelled ATA-6. Only systems with a matching 40-pin connector and BIOS support for 180GB will recognise the full capacity. No adapter or converter is included in the bare drive package.

Questions about this item

How long will the Fluid Dynamic Bearing motor and load/unload head ramps last before they need replacement?

The Fluid Dynamic Bearing motor and load/unload head ramps are built into the drive and have no user-serviceable replacement interval; the drive itself is replaced when it reaches end of life.

Will the 7200 RPM spindle and 8.5 ms average seek time become the bottleneck during continuous read-write workloads?

Under sustained use the 7200 RPM spindle and 8.5 ms average seek time set the mechanical throughput ceiling, so random I/O latency will be the first limit you encounter.

How much noise and heat does the 3.5 inch 7200 RPM mechanism produce when running all day?

The 3.5 inch 7200 RPM mechanism with Fluid Dynamic Bearing motor runs quietly for a desktop drive, and the internal thermal monitor helps manage temperature during all-day operation.
