160 GB IDE drive for legacy systems

This Maxtor 4R160L0 provides 160 GB of storage on a 3.5 inch form factor with an IDE Ultra ATA133 interface. It operates at 5400 rpm with a 2 MB buffer. The drive suits older desktops or industrial equipment that still rely on parallel ATA connections.

Bare drive with 90 day coverage

The unit ships as a bare drive without cables, brackets or mounting screws. A 90 day limited warranty is included by the supplier. Retail or OEM packaging may vary, so only the drive itself is guaranteed.

Low profile 1.0 inch height constraint

The drive measures 1.0 inch tall, which is thinner than many standard 3.5 inch bays. Builders with tight clearance should verify that their chassis or caddy accepts this low profile dimension before ordering.

Questions about this item

How often should the 5400 RPM spindle motor be checked or replaced?

The 5400 RPM motor is a sealed mechanical component with no user-serviceable schedule; the drive is sold with a 90 day limited coverage period.

Which limit appears first during sustained transfers on the Ultra ATA133 interface?

The 133 MB/s interface ceiling is reached before the internal media rate during long sequential reads or writes.

How much heat and noise does the 1.0 inch low-profile 3.5 inch drive produce when running all day?

The low-profile 1.0 inch height and 5400 RPM speed keep acoustic output and thermal load lower than standard-height drives.
