Serial ATA Performance for Entry Level Desktop Systems
Maxtor hard drive leadership continues with the DiamondMax 8S
drive, an optimized second-generation, 7200 RPM, Serial ATA solution
for Entry and Value storage applications. Combining performance
and value, the drive is a perfect solution for mainstream consumer
or commercial Serial ATA systems.
Serial ATA II interface
DiamondMax 8S drives use the
Serial ATA II interface, the fastest
desktop interface with data transfer
rates up to 150MB/sec, to
accelerate system performance.
High Performance
The DiamondMax 8S drive
incorporates Native Command
Queuing (NCQ). NCQ intelligently
reorders read and write commands
to reduce average access time per
command and improve overall
system performance.
RoHS Compliant
Maxtor supports the EU directive
for Restriction of Hazardous
Substances (RoHS)†. RoHS compli-
ant versions of DiamondMax 8S
are available.
Delivering Reliability
DiamondMax 8S 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.
As you transition your Entry Level
40GB application to Serial ATA, select
DiamondMax 8S drives from Maxtor.
