MaXLine III 300GB SATA drive
The Maxtor MaXLine III 7V300F0 is a 300GB desktop internal hard drive built for systems that need a 3.5-inch SATA 3.0Gb/s storage device. It ships as a bare drive in new condition and suits workstations or servers requiring rotational media.
Capacity and headroom
At 300GB the drive holds operating systems, applications and moderate data sets while the 7200 RPM spindle and 16MB cache keep average seek time at 9ms and latency at 4.17ms. Native command queuing doubles random read performance over the prior MaXLine generation, yet the fixed capacity means larger media libraries or backup sets will exceed available space.
Build integration
The SATA 3.0Gb/s interface connects directly to standard motherboard ports without extra adapters, and the 3.5-inch form factor fits ordinary drive bays. Rotational vibration tolerance of 12.5 rad/sec helps reliability in multi-drive chassis, while RoHS compliance meets current material restrictions. Builders needing higher capacities or solid-state speeds must look beyond this model.

Questions about this item
Will the SATA 3.0Gb/s interface on this 7200 RPM drive work with my older motherboard that only supports SATA 1.5Gb/s?
Yes, the SATA 3.0Gb/s interface is backward compatible with SATA 1.5Gb/s ports. The drive will operate at the slower 1.5Gb/s speed but the 7200 RPM spindle and 16MB cache still provide strong performance for a desktop system.
How can I verify the 7200 RPM spindle and 16MB cache are active after installing the 3.5" MaXLine III in my PC?
Check the drive model 7V300F0 in BIOS or UEFI; it should report 300GB capacity and SATA 3.0Gb/s link speed. Tools like CrystalDiskInfo will confirm 7200 RPM rotation rate and 16MB buffer size.
Since the packaging says Bare Drive, what exactly is included in the box and what must I buy separately for installation?
The box contains only the bare 3.5" hard drive unit. You must supply your own SATA data cable, SATA power connector from the PSU, and 3.5" mounting screws or drive tray for your case.
