The Industry’s Highest Performing 10K RPM Enterprise Class HDD with Leading Capacity for Demanding High- Bandwidth Applications

The Workhorse Just Got Faster

Introducing the Maxtor Atlas™ 10K IV drive, the industry’s fastest and largest performing 10K RPM hard disk drive. Its 147GB capacity point and 4.3 ms seek time provide just the right combination of perform- ance and capacity to meet mainstream enterprise hard disk drive mar- ket requirements. The Atlas 10K IV drive provides up to a 24% increase in sustained data transfer rates and delivers 5% faster seek times than prior 10K RPM hard disk drive generations. The drive is equipped with the Maxtor second-generation Ultra320 SCSI interface, which includes MaxAdapt™, Maxtor’s implementation of Adaptive Active Filtration technology. MaxAdapt is a closed-loop method of improving signal quality by amplifying the fundamental frequency of the signal in the receiver while filtering noise and other undesirable components. MaxAdapt allows the drive to adapt to changing system conditions and components. This translates into lower error rates, easier integra- tion, and increased bus efficiency for optimal system performance. MaxAdapt is only available on Maxtor SCSI hard disk drives.

The Atlas 10K IV drive is designed to handle the most demanding high-bandwidth and high-capacity enterprise server applications.
