Quantum Corporation QM512700TS-A hard drive specifications
Quantum Bigfoot TS - hard drive - 12.7 GB - ATA-33
If you are looking for a high-capacity, high-performance hard drive to satisfy the demands of graphics-intensive multimedia applications, complex CAD/CAM, cutting-edge MMX or DVD, look no further than Quantum's line of Bigfoot TS hard drives. This model of the Bigfoot TS has a 12.7GB storage capacity and features Quantum's new Shock Protection System (SPS) to protect the drive from potential failure. One of the leading silent killers of drives is mistreatment during handling and integration. If the drive is mistreated during this critical stage, it could take weeks or months before a problem develops. For integrators, the Shock Protection System solution means fewer returns and more satisfied customers. For the consumer, it means one less thing to worry about. This 5.25-inch, low profile drive has an Ultra ATA/DMA interface to deliver burst data rates up to 33.3MB per second. Ultra ATA/DMA hard drives are compatible with the EIDE interface, but in order to achieve optimum performance, it is recommended that you upgrade the controller card on your system's motherboard (if it does not already support Ultra DMA).
