Maxtor hard drive - 40 GB - ATA-66
Maxtor's new DiamondMax 40 series is a high-capacity storage solution well-suited for top-of-the-line servers and desktop systems. This 40.9GB drive can support an ATA-5/Ultra DMA 66 controller, which will allow you to transfer data at up to 66.7MB per second with improved overall AT interface performance. And, with a rotation speed of 5400RPM and an average seek time of 9ms, you can quickly and easily run digital audio/video, graphics, or other data-intensive applications. The DiamondMax 40 features Maxtor's DualWave technology. DualWave supports ATA-5/UltraDMA 66, yet incorporates a DSP (Digital Signal Processor) to control disk functions and a separate 50 MIPs RISC processor to fulfill host commands. The large 2MB 100MHz SDRAM buffer works with the dual processors to move data at full speed while the DSP and RISC processors perform all other drive functions. The DiamondMax 40 also features ShockBlock mechanics, which is an enhanced shock-resistance design that prevents handling-generated shock levels of up to 1, 000G without drive failure. It reduces the tendency for the head to lift from the disk during a shock load and eliminates improper alignment during re-contact if the head does lift. And, this drive has giant magnetoresistive (GMR) heads, which allow the drive to reach a higher areal density of 10.2GB per platter. This 40.9GB drive is SMART compliant and supports MaxSafe media scan, which detects and repairs drive problems and performs cyclic redundancy checks.
