Maxtor DiamondMax 20 160GB IDE Drive
The Maxtor DiamondMax 20 STM3160812A is a 160GB 3.5-inch internal hard drive built for desktop systems requiring an IDE Ultra ATA100 interface. It operates at 7200 RPM with an 8MB cache and arrives as a bare drive. This unit suits legacy hardware maintenance or period-correct retro builds.
Suits legacy IDE systems only
This drive fits machines that still use a 40-pin IDE connection and need a 160GB replacement. It is not for builders whose motherboards lack an IDE controller or who require a larger capacity than 160GB. The 7200 RPM speed and 8MB cache match the original DiamondMax 20 specification.
IDE Ultra ATA100 interface decides fit
The single specification that determines compatibility is the IDE Ultra ATA100 / ATA-6 interface. Verify the host system provides this exact connection before purchase. No other interface is supported by this model.

Domande su questo articolo
Which DiamondMax 20 capacity should I pick for a desktop rebuild?
This model is the 160 GB version; choose it when you need that exact capacity for a legacy IDE system.
What does the 7200 RPM speed deliver in daily use?
The 7200 RPM spindle provides quicker data access than slower drives, cutting boot and application load times in a typical desktop.
How does the IDE Ultra ATA100 interface limit transfer rates?
The IDE Ultra ATA100 / ATA-6 interface caps burst transfers at 100 MB/s, so sustained throughput will stay below that ceiling.
