Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 40 AT disk drives are 1-inch high, 3.5-inch diameter random access storage devices
which incorporate an on-board ATA-5/Ultra DMA 66 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. Advanced giant magneto-resistive read/write heads and a state-of-the-art
head/disk assembly - using an integrated motor/spindle design - allow up to four disks in a 3.5-inch package.
Exceptionally high data transfer rates, 7,200 RPM spin speed and < 9.0 ms access times make these performance
series disk drives especially well-suited to high-end desktop and server applications.
