Introduction

MaxtorCorporation

Maxtor Corporation has been providing high-quality computer storage products since 1982. Along the way, we’ve seen many changes in data storage needs. Not long ago, only a handful of specific users needed more than a couple hundred megabytes of storage. Today, downloading from the Internet and CD-ROMs, multimedia, networking and advanced office applications are driving storage needs even higher. Even home PC applications need capacities measured in gigabytes, not megabytes.

Products

Maxtor’s products meet the demanding data storage capacity requirements of today and tomorrow. They are available in 5400- and 7200- RPM configurations with capacity offerings from 10 to 80 GB and beyond.

Support

No matter which capacity, all Maxtor hard drives are supported by our commitment to total customer satisfaction and our No Quibble Service® guarantee. One call – or a visit to our home page on the Internet (www.maxtor.com) – puts you in touch with either technical support or customer service. We’ll provide you the information you need quickly, accurately and in the form you prefer – a fax, a downloaded file or a conversation with a representative.
