Desktop storage for legacy builds

The Maxtor DiamondMax 10 6V080E0 is a 3.5-inch internal hard drive with 80GB capacity. It connects through a SATA 3.0Gb/s interface and spins at 7200 RPM with an 8MB cache. This new bare drive suits older desktops or appliances that require a small SATA drive.

Sustained operation characteristics

The drive runs on a fluid dynamic bearing motor designed for quiet operation during continuous use. Native command queuing helps organise read and write requests when the system is under load. Shock Protection System and Data Protection System features work together to maintain data integrity over long periods.

Capacity decides suitability

At 80GB this drive only fits installations where a small boot or archive volume is sufficient. Builders who need more storage must choose a larger model. The SATA 3.0Gb/s interface limits maximum throughput to that standard.

Questions about this item

How quiet is the fluid dynamic bearing motor when the 7200 RPM drive runs continuously?

The fluid dynamic bearing motor is designed for quiet operation during sustained use, keeping acoustic output low even at 7200 RPM.

What cables and connectors are needed to install this bare 3.5" SATA 3.0Gb/s drive?

You need a standard SATA data cable and a SATA power connector from your power supply; no adapter or bracket is included with the bare drive.

Will the SATA 3.0Gb/s interface and native command queuing work on an older motherboard with only SATA 1.5Gb/s ports?

Yes, the drive is backward compatible with SATA 1.5Gb/s controllers and will operate at the lower link speed while still using native command queuing.
