Capacity and interface

The Maxtor DiamondMax 10 6L200M0 is a 200GB 3.5" internal hard drive with a SATA 1.5Gb/s connection. It spins at 7200 RPM and includes 8MB of cache for desktop storage tasks. The bare-drive unit suits system builders upgrading older SATA platforms or replacing a failed primary drive.

Sustained workload behaviour

A fluid dynamic bearing motor keeps acoustic output low during continuous operation. Native command queuing reorders requests to maintain throughput when multiple threads access the disk. The Shock Protection System and Data Protection System guard platters and data integrity under prolonged vibration or sudden movement.

SATA 1.5Gb/s practical limits

The 1.5Gb/s link caps maximum sequential transfer well below modern SATA revisions, so large file copies run slower than on 3Gb/s or 6Gb/s ports. Average seek time of 9ms and latency of 4.17ms reflect the mechanical design rather than the interface ceiling. Builders needing higher sustained bandwidth should note this bottleneck.

Questions about this item

How much noise and heat does the 7200 RPM motor produce during all-day use?

The fluid dynamic bearing motor is designed for quiet operation, keeping acoustic output low even during continuous workloads.

What existing connector and power supply does the SATA 1.5Gb/s interface require?

You need a standard SATA data cable and a 15-pin SATA power connector from your power supply to install this 3.5" drive.

Will the 8 MB cache and native command queuing work with an older SATA controller?

Yes, the drive is backward compatible with earlier SATA controllers, though performance will be limited to the controller's maximum transfer rate.
