SKU CH-513N-GZMER

A 200 GB internal hard drive with 7200 rpm spindle speed, 8 MB buffer and IDE Ultra ATA/133 interface for desktop PCs

  • 200 GB capacity stores large media libraries and backups
  • 7200 rpm spindle speed delivers responsive desktop performance
  • 8 MB buffer smooths burst data transfers
  • IDE Ultra ATA/133 interface fits legacy PC builds
  • 5 inch form factor installs in standard drive bays

200 GB IDE desktop drive

The Maxtor DiamondMax 10 provides 200 GB of storage on a 3.5 inch internal hard drive with a 7200 rpm spindle speed and an 8 MB buffer. It connects through an IDE Ultra ATA/133 interface and is intended for home or office desktop PCs.

Thermals noise and power

The drive operates within standard 3.5 inch mechanical limits and draws power from a conventional Molex connector. Acoustic output and thermal load are typical for a 7200 rpm IDE unit of this generation. No active cooling beyond normal case airflow is required.

Build fit and constraints

The unit measures 1 inch high, 0.5 inch wide and 5.8 inches deep, weighing approximately 1.39 lb. It fits any standard 3.5 inch drive bay and needs a free IDE channel plus a Molex power lead. Systems without legacy IDE ports cannot use this drive.

Questions about this item

How do I install this 3.5" IDE drive and which jumper setting do people forget?

Mount the drive in a 3.5" bay, connect the 40-pin IDE cable and a Molex power connector, then set the jumper to Master or Cable Select — skipping the jumper is the common mistake.

What maintenance or replacement will the Maxtor DiamondMax 10 200 GB need later?

No routine maintenance is required; keep the system ventilated so the 7200 rpm spindle stays cool, and replace the drive if SMART reports reallocated sectors or the 8 MB buffer cannot mask read errors.

What limit appears first during sustained transfers on the IDE Ultra ATA/133 interface?

The 133 MB/s bus ceiling is reached before the 7200 rpm platters can deliver more throughput, so long sequential writes plateau at the interface maximum.
