Maxtor QuickView 100GB DVR Drive
The Maxtor QuickView 6L100M0 is a 100GB 3.5-inch internal hard drive built for digital video recorders, set-top boxes and media centres. Its 7200 RPM spindle and 8MB cache deliver the sustained throughput needed for continuous AV recording and playback. The bare-drive packaging suits system integrators and upgrade installers.
SATA 1.5Gb/s Interface Limit
The drive connects via a SATA 1.5Gb/s interface, which caps the maximum burst transfer rate at 1.5 Gb/s. This first-generation SATA link is slower than later 3Gb/s or 6Gb/s versions, so sustained throughput will not exceed the bus limit. Older host controllers or legacy enclosures may not negotiate higher speeds even if they are present.
100GB Capacity Constraint
The single specification that decides fit is the 100GB capacity, which suits standard-definition DVR loops or light media-centre libraries. Buyers who need space for high-definition recordings or large media archives will find this capacity insufficient. No larger capacity is offered in this model.
