2.1PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Maxtor drive leadership continues with the DiamondMax 8S 40GB Serial ATA drive

-a single head, 7200RPM product. The DiamondMax 8S 40GB Serial ATA drives combine performance and value with the Serial ATA interface making a perfect choice for entry level consumers and commercial/business desktop systems transitioning to the new interface.

The Serial ATA interface provides the fastest desktop interface with maximum data transfer rates of 1.5 Gb/s and additional features.

•Native Command Queuing to improve performance

•MHX Dual Processor Architecture maximizes the performance potential of Serial ATA

Fluid Dynamic Bearing (FDB) motors minimize drive acoustics, allowing the drive to operate with low sound output. DiamondMax 8S 40GB Serial ATA is designed for higher reliability. The drive’s inner diameter load/unload ramp locks the recording head into a protective carrier to cradle the head during shipment and any other time the drive is not in operation.

DiamondMax 8S 40GB Serial ATA drive delivers high reliability and data integrity and is enhanced using Maxtor developed Shock Protection System (SPS) and Data Protection System (DPS). SPS and DPS give the user enhanced protection against both operating and non-operating shock and verify essential functions in seconds to minimize costly drive returns.
