Maxtor DiamondMax 10 200GB SATA drive

This Maxtor DiamondMax 10 model 6V200E0 is a 3.5 inch desktop internal hard drive with 200GB capacity. It spins at 7200 RPM with an 8MB cache and connects via a SATA 3.0Gb/s interface. The bare drive includes Native Command Queuing and a fluid dynamic bearing motor for quiet operation.

Suits older SATA systems needing modest storage

This drive fits builds that require a 200GB SATA 3.0Gb/s disk with 7200 RPM performance. Buyers who want more storage capacity should look at something else. Systems that need a faster interface than SATA 3.0Gb/s cannot use this drive. It is also unsuitable for compact bays that only accept 2.5 inch form factors.

Deciding specification: 200GB capacity

The single specification that decides fit is the 200GB capacity. This capacity determines whether the drive meets the storage requirement for the intended system. The SATA 3.0Gb/s interface and 3.5 inch form factor must also match the host, but capacity is the primary filter.

Questions about this item

How often should the fluid dynamic bearing motor be serviced or replaced in the Maxtor DiamondMax 10 6V200E0?

The fluid dynamic bearing motor is sealed for the life of the drive and requires no scheduled maintenance or replacement under normal desktop use.

Will the 8MB cache become the bottleneck during sustained 7200 RPM transfers over SATA 3.0Gb/s?

The 8MB cache handles burst transfers, but sustained throughput is limited by the 7200 RPM platter speed and the SATA 3.0Gb/s interface ceiling.

How much noise and heat does the fluid dynamic bearing motor produce when the drive runs all day?

The fluid dynamic bearing motor is designed for quiet operation, and the 7200 RPM mechanism generates typical desktop-class heat that a standard case fan can manage.
