DiamondMax 10 80 GB IDE drive

The Maxtor DiamondMax 10 is an 80 GB internal hard drive built for PC desktops. It uses a 3.5 inch form factor and a 7200 rpm spindle speed. The unit is new and suited for home or office systems that still rely on legacy parallel ATA storage.

IDE Ultra ATA 133 interface fit

The drive connects through an IDE Ultra ATA 133 interface, also known as ATA-7. It requires a motherboard or controller with a 40-pin IDE header and a standard 4-pin Molex power connector. A 2 MB buffer helps smooth data transfers on the parallel bus.

80 GB capacity and limits

The 80 GB capacity provides room for an operating system, applications and modest file archives. It will not suit users who need space for large media libraries, modern game installations or multi-terabyte backups. The 7200 rpm speed and small buffer limit sustained throughput compared with newer serial interfaces.

Questions about this item

How long will the 7200 rpm spindle and 2 MB buffer sustain peak throughput before thermal throttling?

The 7200 rpm spindle and 2 MB buffer are rated for continuous desktop operation; sustained throughput is limited by the IDE Ultra ATA/133 interface ceiling.

What noise and heat levels should I expect when the drive runs all day in a 3.5" bay?

The 1-inch high, 1.39 lb mechanism spins at 7200 rpm with no active cooling specified; expect typical 3.5" IDE acoustic and thermal output for a desktop chassis.

Which motherboard connector and power lead must I already have to install this IDE drive?

You need a free 40-pin IDE Ultra ATA/133 port and a standard 4-pin Molex power connector; the drive fits a 3.5" internal bay with 5.8" depth clearance.
