    Chapter 3 INSTALLATION This chapter explains how to unpack, configure, mount, and connect the Maxtor Quickview 300 80/100/120/160/200/250/300GB PATA hard disk drive prior to operation. It also explains how to start up and operate the drive. SPACE REQUIREMENTS The Quickview 300 hard disk drives are shipped without a faceplate.

  • Page 18: Unpacking Instructions

    Special care should be taken not to bump or drop the drive. It is highly recommended that Maxtor Quickview 300 drives are not stacked or placed on any hard surface after they are unpacked. Such handling could cause media damage.

  • Page 60: Breaking The 137 Gigabyte Storage Barrier

    The ANSI NCITS T13 Technical Committee (also known as the ANSI ATA committee) has broken this barrier by incorporating a proposal from Maxtor into the ATA/ATAPI-6 draft standard that defines a method for 48-bit addressing on a single drive, giving more than 144 petabytes (144,000 gigabytes) of storage.
  • Page 61 Breaking the 137GB Storage Barrier of the hard disk was accessible. This inability to access the entire drive is referred to as a “capacity barrier” and it has been seen and overcome many times in the computer and disk drive industry. The 137-gigabyte barrier is the result of the original design specification for the ATA interface that provided only 28 bits of address for data.

  • Page 62: Solving The 137 Gigabyte Capacity Barrier

    ASIC, and this is where drive manufacturers must update their designs. Maxtor is the leader in development efforts and is the first to deliver a product with the capacity and drive technology to deliver greater than 137 gigabytes of capacity.

  • Page 63: What Else Is Involved

    Breaking the 137GB Storage Barrier A.1.5 What Else is Involved? Effort is required from OS vendors to increase storage device addressing up to 48 bits or more. This increase will be a significant challenge for many OS vendors that have 32-bit code models. Adapting to 48-bit commands will be easy, but most vendors will stop filling data at the 32- bit boundary and pad the upper 16 bits with zeros, leaving that space empty.
