Superior Performance Combined with

Industry-leading Capacity

The DiamondMax®Plus 9 hard disk drive is designed to exceed

previous standards for desktop performance. DiamondMax Plus 9

drives are offered with industry-standard capacity points up to 250GB.

By delivering a performance hard drive using a highly leveraged

design with state-of-the-art quality and reliability, Maxtor demon-

strates technology leadership with DiamondMax Plus 9 drives.

Maxtor-developed Ultra ATA

interface and Serial ATA interface

The Maxtor-developed Ultra ATA
interface has data transfer rates up
to 133 MB/sec. DiamondMax Plus 9
drives will also be available with
a serial ATA interface. With either
Ultra ATA/133 or the increased speed
and capabilities of Serial ATA/150,
users will have a choice of the fastest
data transfer rates and interface
functionality available.

Fluid Dynamic Bearing (FDB) Motors

All DiamondMax Plus 9 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.

Delivering Reliability

DiamondMax Plus 9 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 eliminate costly drive returns.
When your application demands
reliability, performance and capacity,
DiamondMax Plus 9 drives are the
ideal choice.
