Maxtor DiamondMax 10 120GB Desktop Drive
The Maxtor DiamondMax 10 6L120M0 is a 120GB 3.5-inch internal hard drive designed for desktop computers. It operates at 7200 RPM with an 8MB cache and connects via a SATA 1.5Gb/s interface. This new bare drive suits users adding primary or secondary storage to an older system.
Buyers needing SATA 1.5Gb/s mechanical storage
This drive suits builders repairing or upgrading legacy desktops that require a SATA 1.5Gb/s hard drive with a 3.5-inch form factor. The 7200 RPM spindle speed and 8MB cache deliver standard mechanical performance for everyday tasks. Buyers who need higher capacity, faster transfer rates, or solid-state responsiveness should look at other storage options.
SATA 1.5Gb/s interface compatibility
The single specification that decides fitment is the SATA 1.5Gb/s interface. Your motherboard or controller must support this first-generation SATA link for the drive to function. Verify that the system provides a matching data connector and power connection before purchase.

Questions about this item
Does the bare-drive packaging include cables or mounting hardware, or do I need to buy them separately?
The drive ships as a bare unit only; SATA data cable, power cable and 3.5" mounting screws are not included and must be sourced separately.
The DiamondMax 10 line lists several capacities — why choose the 120GB model?
The 120GB capacity suits a light OS drive or a small secondary volume where cost per gigabyte matters less than keeping the system quiet and cool.
How does the 7200 RPM speed and 8MB cache translate to everyday responsiveness?
The 7200 RPM spindle and 8MB buffer deliver a 9ms average seek and 4.17ms latency, giving snappy application launches and smooth file copies for a mechanical drive.
