Maxtor introduces SATA MaXLine III series
Maxtor introduced SATA MaXLine III hard drives that feature 16MB buffers. Novelties are designed for corporate systems, have MTTF of 1 million hours, support NCQ (up to 32 instructions execution to improve storage subsystem bandwidth), have 7200rpm rotation speed, up to 300GB capacities and features Maxtor MaxCommand technology that implies two processors for effective load balancing.
As for other features, they include support for Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) drives. Besides, the Serial in a Box architecture provides disk scalability for organizing data centres.
A MaXLine III drive features three plates and has 250GB or 300GB capacity. The volume production is to start next month, but drives are already available for testing. The company also plans to introduce ATA/133 at some later time.
