Atlas 10K III-U320 offers 320MB/sec bus speed at industry leading acoustic levels. Superior Reliability To ensure flawless and consistent performance, the Atlas 10K III-U320 drive features Maxtor's breakthrough Shock Protection System. SPS protects the drive from mistreatment during handling and integration. For systems integrators, SPS III results in fewer returns, lower total cost of ownership, and satisfied customers. Compliance features are also included in the Atlas 10K III-U320 to ensure the highest data and system reliability possible. We confidently stand behind the Atlas 10K III-U320 with a five-year warranty. Exceptional Value 18. 4GB/platter leads the way for the next generation of SCSI drives. Higher data densities allow for higher reliability and customer value. Atlas 10K III-U320 comes in 18. 4GB, 36. 8GB and 73. 6GB capacity points with SCA (80-pin) or WIDE (68-pin) interfaces. SCSI Investment Protection Atlas 10K III-320 has an automatic SCSI mode configuration for U320, U160, Ultra2, Ultra, and Fast SCSI interfaces. It is backwards compatible with prior SCSI interfaces standards.

DATA INTEGRITY AND RELIABILITY Improves the integrity of the clock signal. RELIABILITY Enables skew compensation and signal tuning such as adaptive active filtering (AAF) to enhance signal integrity and system performance. RELIABILITY Minimizes errors and retries when relative to clock signal transferring data. DATA INTEGRITY AND RELIABILITY Improves data protection for the parallel SCSI bus by creating check bytes and comparing it to the received data. PERFORMANCE Query targets to determine capabilities, like maximum transfer rate, system configuration, etc. PERFORMANCE Minimizes overhead and enables both (packetized transfers) command and data transmission at 320MB/s speeds. DATA INTEGRITY AND RELIABILITY Compensates with cutback for signal loss during data transmission resulting in a better signal.
