250 GB SATA hard drive for desktop storage
This 3.5-inch Maxtor MaXLine Plus II drive delivers 250 GB of capacity over a SATA 1.5Gb/s interface. It spins at 7200 RPM with an 8 MB cache and a 9 ms average seek time. The bare-drive packaging suits system builders upgrading or replacing internal storage in a desktop chassis.
Bare-drive design with S.M.A.R.T. monitoring
Supplied without cables or brackets, the unit fits standard 3.5-inch drive bays and connects through a single SATA data and power connector. S.M.A.R.T. compliance features provide ongoing health reporting so administrators can track drive condition in daily operation. The mechanical construction targets continuous use in desktop and entry-level server environments.
Optimised for media archives and NAS deployments
Maxtor positions the series to augment or replace tape and optical libraries, making it a fit for rich-content libraries and network-attached storage arrays. No software utilities or mounting hardware are bundled, so integrators supply their own management tools and installation kits. The three-year limited manufacturer coverage applies to the drive itself.

Questions about this item
Does the SATA 1.5Gb/s link limit real-world throughput?
The 1.5Gb/s SATA interface caps burst transfer at the bus speed, so sustained reads from the 7200 RPM platters will not exceed that ceiling.
Will this 3.5" bare drive fit a standard desktop bay and mounting points?
The 3.5" form factor matches standard desktop drive bays and uses the industry-standard bottom and side screw holes for secure mounting.
What is the correct way to install this bare SATA drive, and what step is often missed?
Connect both the SATA data cable and the SATA power connector, then ensure the drive is recognised in BIOS before partitioning; the step often missed is verifying the SATA port is enabled in BIOS.
