##$
Maxtor’s D740X-6L hard disk drives are part of a family of high performance, 1-inch-
high hard disk drives manufactured to meet the highest product quality standards.
These hard disk drives use nonremovable, 3 1/2-inch hard disks and are available
with the ATA interface.
The Maxtor D740X-6L 20.0/40.0/60.0/80.0GB AT hard disk drives feature an
embedded hard disk drive controller, and use ATA commands to optimize system
performance. Because the drive manages media defects and error recovery internally,
these operations are fully transparent to the user.
The innovative design of the Maxtor D740X-6L hard disk drives incorporate leading
edge technologies such as Ultra ATA/133, Advanced Cache Management, Shock
Protection System™ (SPS), Data Protection System (DPS) and Quiet Drive
Technology (QDT). These enhanced technologies enable Maxtor to produce a family
of high-performance, high-reliability drives.
