241&7%6Maxtor Atlas￿18'48+'910K III hard disk drives are part of a family of high performance, -inch-

 

high hard disk drives manufactured to meet the highest product quality standards.

 

There are currently three models in the Maxtor Atlas 10K III series with capacities of

 

.4, 36.7, and 73. gigabytes (GB). These hard disk drives use nonremovable,

 

3 1/2-inch hard disks and are available with the following SCSI configurations:

 

• Ultra160 SCSI, Ultra2, Ultra SCSI 68-pin Wide (16-bit)

 

• Ultra160 SCSI, Ultra2, Ultra SCSI 80-pin SCA-2 (16-bit)

 

• Ultra320 SCSI, Ultra2, Ultra SCSI 68-pin Wide (16-bit)

 

• Ultra320 SCSI, Ultra2, Ultra SCSI 80-pin SCA-2 (16-bit)

 

The Maxtor Atlas 10K III hard disk drives feature an embedded SCSI drive controller

 

and use SCSI commands to optimize system performance. Because the drive manages

 

media defects and error recovery internally, these operations are fully transparent to

 

the user.

 

The innovative design of the Maxtor Atlas 10K III hard disk drives enables Maxtor to

 

produce a family of low-cost, high-reliability drives.
