THE MARKET
Explosive growth in enterprise-wide
computing and Internet applications
is creating increased demand for
larger and faster servers, perfor-
mance workstations, and storage
subsystems. To address this growth,
Maxtor offers the award-winning
Atlas™ 3.5-inch Product Family.
The latest offering is the Atlas 10K III
hard disk drive, which extends
Maxtor’s leadership position in the
market. Atlas 10K III offers its
customers the necessary capacity,
leading performance, and 
rock-solid reliability to generate
significant competitive advantages.
PERFORMANCE AND
MORE…
The Atlas 10K III drive continues
Maxtor’s performance leadership
position. It sports a 10,000 RPM
platter rotational speed, blazing-fast
4.5 millisecond (ms) seek time, a
large 8 megabyte (MB) cache buffer,
and a 55 megabyte-per-second
(MB/sec) peak sustained data
throughput. These specs lead to
one conclusion — the Atlas 10K III
drive delivers the leading random
I/O performance and sequential
throughput required by our
customer’s data-intensive
applications.
Per-platter data densities directly
influence customer value and
drive reliability. The Atlas 10K III
boasts the highest per-platter
data density of 18.4 gigabytes (GB)
per platter. This allows us to pack
18.4 GB, 36.7 GB and 73.4 GB
offerings in a 1-inch form factor.
The combination of performance
and value makes the Atlas 10K III
the optimum choice for Windows NT
and UNIX enterprise and depart-
mental servers, high-performance
workstations, and storage
subsystems.
MAXTOR QUALITY 
AND RELIABILITY
To ensure flawless and consistent
performance, the Atlas 10K III
drive features Maxtor’s
breakthrough Shock Protection
System III (SPS III). SPS III protects
the drive from mistreatment
during handling and integration.
For systems integrators, SPS III
results in fewer returns, lower
total cost of ownership, and
more satisfied customers. SPS III
is but an example of Maxtor’s
continuous commitment to
quality — we confidently stand
behind the Atlas 10K III with a 
five-year warranty.
KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Exceptional Performance 
10,000 RPM, 4.5ms seek time,
large 8 MB cache buffer, and
peak 55 MB/sec sustained 
data throughput.
Exceptional Value – 18.4
GB/platter leads the way for
the next generation of SCSI
drives. Higher data densities
allow for higher reliability 
and customer value.
Advanced interfaces – U160
and U320 interfaces available.
U320 includes new features
such as Packetization and
Quick Arbitrate & Select, 
which greatly increase data
throughput performance. The

Improved Acoustics 
Acoustics are very important
for many customers. To
address their needs, we
designed the acoustic levels 
of a 7,200 rpm drive into a
10,000 rpm drive! Yet another
example of Maxtor setting 
a new standard.
