The HM160HC is a specialized 2.5" IDE (PATA) hard disk drive produced by Samsung, featuring a storage capacity of 160GB with an 8MB cache. Distinguished for its use of the IDE interface, it caters to an older generation of computers and devices that require this type of connection, making it an invaluable resource for maintaining and upgrading legacy systems. Its 160GB storage is ample for various applications, including operating system installations, document storage, media libraries, and more. Although it operates under the slower IDE standard compared to SATA, it remains a practical solution for devices with compatibility constraints. Meeting the needs of a niche market, the HM160HC stands out for its reliability and Samsung's commitment to quality.
