Maxtor’s D540X-4K 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 D540X-4K 20.4/40.0/60.0/80.0 GB 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 D540X-4K hard disk drives incorporate
leading edge technologies such as UltraATA/100, Advanced Cache Management,
Shock Protection System™II (SPS II), and Data Protection System (DPS). These
enhanced technologies enable Maxtor to produce a family of high-performance,
high-reliability drives.
Additionally, the Maxtor D540X-4K family of drives are CE-class drives designed
for the consumer electronics market. Acoustics is one of the most important features
in the CE arena. These hard disk drives are available with very quiet seek codes
resulting in very low acoustical emissions from the drive. This makes the Maxtor
D540X-4K drives an attractive choice for most CE users.
