IBM 40Y9035 160 GB 3.5" SATA Hard Drive

SKU CH-K82F-JSYXB

160 GB internal 3.5" SATA hard drive spinning at 7200 rpm with 8 MB buffer for desktop PCs

  • 160 GB capacity stores large files and applications
  • 7200 rpm spindle speed delivers responsive data access
  • 8 MB buffer smooths read and write operations
  • SATA interface connects directly to desktop motherboards
  • RoHS certified materials reduce environmental impact

Designed for ThinkCentre A63 and A55

This 160 GB internal hard drive fits 3.5-inch bays in compatible IBM Lenovo ThinkCentre desktops. It spins at 7200 rpm with an 8 MB buffer to serve everyday desktop workloads. The drive is sold new and carries RoHS certification for restricted substances.

SATA interface caps real-world throughput

The SATA connection limits sustained transfer rates to the bus maximum, so sequential performance cannot exceed that ceiling. Random access speed is constrained by the 7200 rpm spindle and 8 MB cache combination. Heavy multi-tasking or large media libraries will feel the bottleneck of this single-drive design.

RoHS compliance and fixed mounting

RoHS certification confirms the assembly meets restricted-substance requirements without adding special handling steps. Standard 3.5-inch screw holes secure the drive in any matching bay or caddy. The SATA data and power connectors face the rear for routine cable routing inside the chassis.
