Product Description
Maxtor DiamondMax™ 2160 AT disk drives are 1-inch high, 3.5-inch diameter random access storage devices
which incorporate an on-board Ultra DMA/ATA controller. High capacity is achieved by a balanced
combination of high areal recording density and the latest data encoding and servo techniques.
Maxtor's latest advancements in electronic packaging and integration methods have lowered the drive's power
consumption and increased its reliability. Advanced magneto-resistive read/write heads, an state-of-the-art head/
disk assembly using an integrated motor/spindle design allow up to four disks in a 3.5-inch package.
Exceptionally high data transfer rates and < 9.7 ms access times make these performance series disk drives
especially well-suited to high speed desktop and server applications.
