Mainstream Performance for Desktop Systems

Maxtor hard drive leadership continues with the DiamondMax®Plus 8

drive, the industry’s first single-head, single-platter, 7200 RPM product.

DiamondMax Plus 8 drives provide 40GB capacity. Combining perform-

ance and value, the drive is a perfect combination for the mainstream

consumer or commercial user.

Maxtor-developed Ultra ATA Interface

DiamondMax Plus 8 drives use the

Ultra ATA/133 interface, the fastest

desktop interface, with data transfer

rates of 133 MB/sec.

Fluid Dynamic Bearing (FDB) Motors

DiamondMax Plus 8 drives are

equipped with FDB motors.

This technology allows the drive

to operate with very low sound

output for performance users who

are concerned about acoustics.

RoHS Compliant

Maxtor supports the EU directive

for Restriction of Hazardous

Substances (RoHS)

†

. RoHS compli-

ant versions of DiamondMax Plus 8

are available.

Delivering Reliability

DiamondMax Plus 8 drives deliver

high reliability and data integrity

using the Maxtor-developed Shock

Protection System (SPS) and Data

Protection System (DPS). SPS and DPS

give the drive enhanced protection

against operating and non-operating

shock to minimize costly drive returns.

When your application requires

excellent performance at mainstream

capacities, select DiamondMax Plus 8

drives from Maxtor.
