CoreParts MUXMS-00077 internal hard drive 40 GB 7200 RPM 3.5 inch IDE/ATA

The CoreParts MUXMS-00077 is an internal 3.5" IDE/ATA hard drive with 40 GB capacity and a spindle speed of 7200 RPM. Built for common desktop and legacy systems, this HDD provides storage for essential files, applications and system data while fitting standard 3.5" drive bays.

Advantages

This 40 GB CoreParts internal hard drive uses the IDE/ATA interface for compatibility with older motherboards and systems. The 7200 RPM spindle speed delivers faster access times than lower-speed drives of the same generation, and the standard 3.5" form factor ensures easy installation in most desktop enclosures. The drive is compact and relatively lightweight, facilitating upgrades or replacements in constrained spaces.

Suitable for

• Upgrading or replacing storage in older desktop PCs with IDE/ATA connectors
• Systems that require a 3.5" internal HDD for boot or data storage

How to use

Connect the IDE ribbon cable to the motherboard IDE connector and attach the power cable from the PSU (Molex or compatible connector). Configure jumper settings if necessary for master/slave selection, then power on the system and enter the BIOS/UEFI to ensure the drive is detected. Format the drive and create partitions using the operating system tools before storing data or installing software.

Recommendations

Use this drive in systems that support IDE/ATA and 3.5" form factor. Verify jumper configuration for proper master/slave setup on systems with multiple IDE devices, and ensure the power connector type matches the system PSU. For critical data, maintain regular backups and consider replacing older drives proactively to avoid data loss due to mechanical wear.
