MaXLine Plus II 250 GB IDE drive

The Maxtor MaXLine Plus II is a 250 GB internal hard drive with a 3.5 inch form factor and an IDE Ultra ATA/133 interface. It is built for PC compatibility and targets near-line storage applications where capacity and reliability matter more than peak throughput.

250 GB capacity with 8 MB buffer

At 7200 rpm and an 8 MB buffer the drive handles everyday file storage, backups and archival workloads comfortably. The IDE Ultra ATA/133 ceiling limits sustained transfer rates, so heavy random I/O or modern OS drives will saturate the interface quickly.

3.5 inch internal build with standard IDE connector

The unit measures 1 inch high, 3 inches wide and 5.8 inches deep at approximately 1.38 lb, fitting standard drive bays and using a legacy 40-pin IDE data cable plus Molex power. It suits legacy system repairs or industrial PCs that still require PATA storage.

Questions about this item

Will the 250 GB Maxtor MaXLine Plus II connect to an older motherboard using a standard IDE cable?

The drive uses the IDE Ultra ATA/133 interface, which is backward compatible with earlier ATA standards on the same 40-pin connector.

How can I verify the drive is running at its rated 7200 rpm after installation?

Listen for the characteristic steady whine of a 7200 rpm spindle and check the SMART data in BIOS or a utility to confirm the reported rotation speed.

Does the 3.5-inch unit ship with mounting screws or an IDE ribbon cable, or must I source them separately?

The bare drive includes only the unit itself; mounting screws and an IDE ribbon cable are not supplied and must be obtained separately.
