Maxtor DiamondMax 10 200 GB SATA drive
The Maxtor DiamondMax 10 is a 3.5 inch internal hard drive with a 200 GB capacity and a 7200 RPM spindle speed. It connects via a SATA 150 interface and includes an 8 MB buffer. The drive is supplied new in retail or OEM packaging.
Suits desktop storage upgrades; not for laptop bays
This unit fits standard 3.5 inch drive bays in desktop computers and serves as primary or secondary storage for home or office systems. It is not suitable for 2.5 inch laptop bays, external enclosures without a 3.5 inch adapter, or systems that require a SATA 3 Gb/s or 6 Gb/s interface for full performance.
SATA 150 interface determines host compatibility
The drive uses the SATA 150 standard, so the motherboard or controller must provide a matching SATA port. If the host only supports newer SATA revisions, the drive will negotiate down to 150 MB/s; if the host lacks SATA entirely, the drive cannot be connected.

Questions about this item
What are the physical dimensions of the 3.5" drive for case clearance?
The drive measures 5.8 inches deep, .5 inch wide and 1 inch high, fitting standard 3.5 inch internal bays.
How is the SATA/150 interface connected during installation?
Attach a standard SATA data cable to the drive interface and a SATA power connector from the power supply; the step often missed is securing both cables firmly to prevent disconnection.
When should the 8 MB buffer drive be replaced under normal desktop use?
Plan replacement after three to five years or if SMART diagnostics report reallocated sectors, as the 7200 RPM mechanism wears over time.
