Dell 160GB 10000RPM SATA Drive with 3.5" Caddy
This new Dell WD1600HLFS is a 160GB 2.5-inch internal hard drive spinning at 10000RPM. It connects via a SATA 3Gb/s interface and includes a 16MB cache buffer. The drive ships mounted in a 3.5-inch ICEPACK caddy for direct installation in standard desktop drive bays.
Suits users adding a fast mechanical drive
The 2.5-inch form factor inside the included caddy fits any 3.5-inch bay with a SATA data and power connection. Buyers who need more storage capacity or a modern solid-state interface should look at other options, as this unit is limited to 160GB and the SATA 3Gb/s standard.
The 10000RPM spindle speed is the deciding spec
A 10000RPM rotational speed provides quicker data access than slower-spinning desktop drives, which benefits operating system responsiveness and application load times. If your workload demands higher throughput or larger volumes, a different drive class will be required.

Questions about this item
How do I fit the 2.5" drive into the 3.5" ICEPACK caddy before installing it?
Slide the 2.5" drive into the supplied ICEPACK tray and secure it using the screw holes on the sides of the caddy, then mount the full assembly into a standard 3.5" drive bay.
What part is most likely to need replacement after long-term use?
The mechanical 10000RPM hard drive itself is the component that will eventually wear out; the ICEPACK caddy is a passive metal tray with no moving parts.
What speed limit appears first during sustained heavy transfers?
The SATA 3Gb/s interface caps maximum throughput, so sustained reads and writes cannot exceed that link speed regardless of the 10000RPM rotation rate.
