Maxtor MaXLine II 300 GB ATA-133 Hard Drive

MaXLine ATA drive from Maxtor, the innovative large-capacity disk storage, is so reliable, so fast and so cost-effective, that it leaves traditional near-line tape and optical solutions in the dust. At prices about the same as tape and optical, but with far greater capacity and faster access times, ATA drives are moving into the near-line corporate storage market at an ever-increasing rate. At 200GB to 300GB, MaXLine ATA drives provide greater storage capacity than regular ATA drives, and they offer the added benefit of ultra-reliability. For near-line and other low-I/O secondary storage applications, they're rated at better than 1 million hours MTTF. MaXLine drives aren't intended to replace SCSI in high-I/O applications, but they are ideal for 24x7-duty situations where the slow access time of optical and tape solutions simply isn't good enough. Situations where you may not need stored data all the time, but when you do need it, you need it now.

Whether you're a data center manager, a systems integrator or a white box manufacturer, your customers' varying storage requirements require flexible and creative solutions. The more you can tailor those solutions to the best balance of performance and cost, the happier everyone will be. Maxtor provides a broad range of storage products - from value desktop drives to the world's fastest SCSI drives - and MaXLine drives, the world's largest-capacity ATA drives, further enrich your options.
