PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Maxtor's Quickview 300 PATA hard disk drives are part of a family of
high performance, 1-inch-high hard disk drives manufactured to meet the
highest product quality standards.
These hard disk drives use nonremovable, 3 1/2-inch hard disks and
are available with the PATA interface.
The Quickview 300 80/100/120/160/200/250/300GB PATA hard disk

transparent to the user.

Management, Shock Protection System™ (SPS), Data Protection System
(DPS) and Quiet Drive Technology (QDT). These enhanced technologies
enable Maxtor to produce a family of high-performance, high-reliability
drives.
