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.
