Product Overview

Maxtor hard disk drives are 1-inch high, 3.5-inch diameter random access storage

devices which incorporate an on-board Ultra ATA/133 interface controller. High

capacity is achieved by a balanced combination of high areal recording density and

the latest data encoding and servo techniques.

Maxtor's latest advancements in electronic packaging and integration methods have

lowered the drive's power consumption and increased its reliability.

Exceptional data transfer rates, 5400 RPM spin speed and 12.6 ms access times make

these entry-class disk drives ideally-suited to desktop storage and consumer

electronics applications.
