Maxtor DiamondMax 10 80GB SATA drive
This Maxtor DiamondMax 10 6L080M0 is a 3.5 inch desktop internal hard drive with an 80GB capacity. It spins at 7200 RPM and provides an 8MB cache on a SATA 1.5Gb/s interface. The bare drive uses a fluid dynamic bearing motor for quiet operation and includes Native Command Queuing support.
Ideal for legacy system repair or basic storage
This drive suits technicians maintaining older desktops or servers that require a SATA 1.5Gb/s hard drive with a 1.0 inch low-profile height. It is not suitable for builders who need more storage capacity or anyone requiring a faster interface for modern operating systems and applications.
Deciding specification: SATA 1.5Gb/s interface
The SATA 1.5Gb/s interface determines whether this drive matches the host controller in the target machine. Systems with only SATA 3Gb/s or 6Gb/s ports will still accept the drive but will operate at the lower 1.5Gb/s link speed. Verify the motherboard or controller documentation for compatible SATA revision support.

Questions about this item
Is the 80 GB version the only capacity available for the DiamondMax 10 6L080M0?
Yes, the 6L080M0 model is specified at 80 GB; other DiamondMax 10 capacities carry different model numbers.
What does the 7200 RPM spindle speed deliver in everyday use?
The 7200 RPM speed combined with 8 MB cache and 9 ms average seek time provides responsive desktop performance for operating system and application loading.
How does the SATA 1.5 Gb/s interface limit real-world throughput?
The SATA 1.5 Gb/s link sets a maximum theoretical bandwidth of 1.5 Gb/s, so sustained transfer rates will stay within that ceiling.
