Large capacity, highly reliable hard drives for reference

storage and data protection applications

MaXLine III provides the capacity, reliability, and features required for
mainstream reference storage and data protection applications. With
MaXLine III, IT managers can confidently deploy faster, more efficient
alternatives to traditional backups, as well as point-in-time copies,
snapshot clones and remote replication. Businesses can cost effectively
keep more reference data on-line to enhance business decisions and
support processes. The third-generation MaXLine drives offer up to 300GB
storage capacity and has been designed to meet a Mean Time To Failure
(MTTF) of 1 million hours* in low I/O duty cycle nearline applications.
Offered with a five-year limited warranty, MaXLine III drives are available
in either parallel or serial ATA interfaces.
