M6 320 GB SATA-150 - Hard Drive Description:
The Samsung Spin point M6 is a 320GB, standard hard disk drive.
Compared to a typical hard drive, its maximum internal data transfer
rate of 103 MBps is very fast. Its burst transfer rate (which is how
fast the drive moves data already in its cache into your computer)
is 150 MBps. This is a 5400 rpm drive and comes with an 8MB buffer.
Noteworthy Features:
Has a 320GB capacity, which is somewhat larger than some similarly
priced hard drives. In fact, the average cost of a product with this
large a capacity is $260.This drive offers a Serial-ATA controller
interface -- one of the fastest technologies for data transfer. This
drive is designed to operate more quietly than most other hard
drives.

line with the product's price, but is slower than the average hard
drive on the market today.

desktop PCs or workstations.
