About this product
This is a sealed Maxtor Basics internal hard drive kit, featuring a substantial 300GB storage capacity. Designed for desktop computers (Mac and PC), it utilizes a 3.5-inch form factor and an Ultra ATA/100 (IDE) interface. The drive operates at 7200 RPM with a 16MB cache, offering an external data transfer rate of 100Mbps and a 9.4ms seek time. It is compatible with both Mac and PC products.
Our take
For those still rocking an older desktop system with an IDE interface, this sealed Maxtor Basics 300GB drive is a compelling option. The 300GB capacity is quite generous for an IDE drive, and the 7200 RPM speed paired with a 16MB cache means it should deliver respectable performance within the constraints of its interface. Being a new, sealed kit provides peace of mind regarding reliability. It's an excellent choice for breathing new life into a compatible legacy machine, offering good capacity and speed for its era without breaking the bank.
