Maxtor MaXLine III 250GB 3.5" SATA Drive

This Maxtor MaXLine III drive is a 250GB 3.5-inch internal hard disk designed for desktop computers. It spins at 7200 RPM with a 16MB cache and connects via a SATA 1.5Gb/s interface. The bare drive is RoHS compliant and rated for 12.5 rad/sec rotational vibration.

Suits legacy desktop builds.

This drive suits builders repairing or upgrading older desktop systems that require a SATA 1.5Gb/s 3.5-inch drive. It is not for users who need more storage capacity than 250GB or who require the faster transfer rates of later SATA revisions.

SATA 1.5Gb/s interface decides compatibility

The single specification that decides fit is the SATA 1.5Gb/s interface. Your motherboard or controller must support this first-generation SATA link. The drive also requires a standard 3.5-inch bay and a SATA power connector.

Questions about this item

Which version of the Maxtor MaXLine III 250GB drive should I pick?

The 7L250S0 is the single model offered here — 250GB capacity, 7200 RPM, 16MB cache, SATA 1.5Gb/s interface, 3.5-inch form factor, bare-drive packaging.

What does the 7200 RPM rating mean once the drive is installed?

The spindle spins at 7200 revolutions per minute, giving an average latency of 4.17ms and an average seek time of 9ms for typical desktop workloads.

What does the SATA 1.5Gb/s interface limit in practice?

The 1.5Gb/s link sets the maximum data-transfer rate between the drive and the host controller; native command queuing improves random read performance within that ceiling.
