SATA/PATA HARD DRIVE

500GB

Native 3.0Gb SATA, large capacity, highly reliable hard drives
for reference storage and data protection

MaXLine Pro 500 drives are designed to serve the capacity-sensitive portion of the
enterprise market. These drives deliver the best value on a per gigabyte basis while
offering advanced features, placing the MaXLine Pro 500 drive at the forefront in
secondary online storage applications.

The advanced features designed into the MaXLine Pro 500 drive separate it from other
drives built for nearline storage. With rotational vibration protection up to 25 radians/sec2
and accelerated error recovery, the MaXLine Pro 500 drive delivers the capacity,
performance, and data integrity required by the most demanding nearline applications.

Users are implementing enhanced data protection solutions such as disk-to-disk backup,
point-in-time copies, snapshot clones and remote replication or managing reference data,
MaXLine Pro 500 drives are an ideal choice. They offer 500GB of storage capacity, 3.0Gb
SATA and ATA/133 interfaces, and have been designed for a mean time to failure of
1 million hours in nearline workload applications.

MaXLine Pro 500 drives provide new features to better serve the enterprise ATA market,
such as:

• Rotational Vibration Compensation—enables the drive to withstand higher rotational
vibration (25 rads/sec2) from adjacent drives, minimizing performance degradation
caused by excessive vibration in multi-drive environments.

• Accelerated Error Recovery, for improved performance in RAID environments,
without reduction in data integrity.

• Internal EDC that protects data integrity within the drive.

• Fly Height Adjust Technology—optimizes performance by maintaining an ideal
head-to-disk clearance across the drives’ specified operating temperatures.

• Easy Code Load, which provides a simple firmware download process with
compatibility safeguards and ease of use.

• Pattern Fill, is a RAID initialization feature which allows a known data pattern to be
written to the drive.

• Expanded Drive Self Test is a more extensive self-test to help customers eliminate false
failures and validate good drives

SATA II features

• Native command queuing

• Hot plug

• Staggered spin up

• Asynchronous signal recovery

• Presence Detect

• Identify Device / Set Features

• Host Initiated Power Management

RoHS Compliant

Maxtor supports the EU Directive for
Restriction of Hazardous Substances.
