Maxtor ATLAS 10K IV User manual

The Industry’s Highest Performing 10K RPM Enterprise
Class HDD with Leading Capacity for Demanding High-
Bandwidth Applications
The Workhorse Just Got Faster
Introducing the Maxtor Atlas™ 10K IV drive, the industry’s fastest and
largest performing 10K RPM hard disk drive. Its 147GB capacity point
and 4.3 ms seek time provide just the right combination of perform-
ance and capacity to meet mainstream enterprise hard disk drive mar-
ket requirements. The Atlas 10K IV drive provides up to a 24% increase
in sustained data transfer rates and delivers 5% faster seek times than
prior 10K RPM hard disk drive generations. The drive is equipped with
the Maxtor second-generation Ultra320 SCSI interface, which includes
MaxAdapt™, Maxtor’s implementation of Adaptive Active Filtration
technology. MaxAdapt is a closed-loop method of improving signal
quality by amplifying the fundamental frequency of the signal in the
receiver while filtering noise and other undesirable components.
MaxAdapt allows the drive to adapt to changing system conditions
and components. This translates into lower error rates, easier integra-
tion, and increased bus efficiency for optimal system performance.
MaxAdapt is only available on Maxtor SCSI hard disk drives.
The Atlas 10K IV drive is designed to handle the most demanding
high-bandwidth and high-capacity enterprise server applications.
