80 GB IDE Desktop Drive
This is a refurbished Seagate DB35 Series 7200.3 internal hard drive with an 80 GB capacity. It uses a 3.5 inch form factor and connects via an IDE Ultra ATA100 / ATA-6 interface. The drive spins at 7200 RPM and includes a 2 MB cache. It is intended for desktop systems that require a legacy parallel ATA storage device.
Suits legacy desktops only
This drive suits technicians repairing or maintaining older desktop computers equipped with IDE controllers. It is not for builders assembling modern systems that lack IDE ports, nor for users who need higher capacities or solid-state performance. The bare drive packaging means no cables or mounting hardware are included.
IDE Ultra ATA100 interface decides fit
The single specification that determines compatibility is the IDE Ultra ATA100 / ATA-6 interface. Your motherboard or controller card must provide a matching 40-pin IDE connector and support the ATA-6 protocol. Without that specific legacy interface, this drive cannot be installed or used.

Questions about this item
Will the 3.5" form factor fit a standard desktop drive bay?
Yes, the 3.5" form factor matches standard desktop drive bays and uses the IDE Ultra ATA100 / ATA-6 interface with a 40-pin connector and legacy Molex power connector.
What is the correct master/slave jumper setting for the IDE Ultra ATA100 interface?
Set the jumper to Master for a single drive or the primary drive on the cable; set to Slave only if a second drive shares the same IDE channel.
How often should I verify the SMART data on this 7200 RPM drive?
Check SMART attributes monthly using a tool like CrystalDiskInfo; watch for rising reallocated-sector counts or seek-error rates that signal mechanical wear.
