Maxtor Ships 250GB Desktop Drive
Maxtor Corp. announced that it is shipping the world's largest ATA desktop drive, a 250 GByte whopper that includes an ATA-133 interface.
Maxtor's new drive ships as part of a kit which includes an ATA-133 cable and add-on card which fools the host PC's operating system into thinking it's communicating with a SCSI drive, thus neatly sidestepping any logical addressing barriers, said Paul Streit, a senior product marketing manager with the company.
The $399.95 250 GByte hard drive kit is available at nationwide retailers, Maxtor said.
Maxtor also said that ASACA Corporation, a 30-year-old high-density storage solutions leader, has qualified and exclusively chosen Maxtor's MaXLine Serial ATA (SATA) drives for its new FireFly DM series digital virtual library.
