Maxtor DiamondMax 10 300GB Desktop Drive
This Maxtor DiamondMax 10 model 6B300S0 is a 300GB 3.5-inch internal hard drive built for desktop computers. It spins at 7200 RPM with a 16MB cache and connects via a SATA 1.5Gb/s interface. The bare drive arrives without cables or mounting hardware.
Ideal for Legacy SATA Replacements
The drive suits owners of older desktops or servers that only support the first-generation SATA 1.5Gb/s link and need a direct 300GB replacement. It is not for builders wanting higher capacities, faster 3Gb/s or 6Gb/s throughput, solid-state speeds, or larger cache buffers for modern workloads.
SATA 1.5Gb/s Interface Decides Fit
The single specification that determines compatibility is the SATA 1.5Gb/s interface. Your motherboard or controller must provide a matching first-generation SATA port; a newer SATA revision will work but cannot exceed this drive's native 1.5Gb/s signalling rate.

Questions about this item
Is the 300GB capacity enough for a secondary storage drive?
The 300GB capacity provides space for documents, media files and backups on a desktop system.
What does the 7200 RPM spindle speed deliver in daily use?
The 7200 RPM spindle speed combined with a 9ms average seek time gives responsive file access and application loading on a SATA 1.5Gb/s connection.
Will the SATA 1.5Gb/s interface limit performance on a modern motherboard?
The drive uses the SATA 1.5Gb/s interface and will operate at that link speed regardless of the host controller version.
