July 17, 2000 -Maxtor Corp. (NASDAQ:MXTR) today established a new world's record in hard drive capacity with its new 80 GB drive, the DiamondMax 80. Available in August 2000, the DiamondMax 80 IDE hard drive is ideal for storage-intensive applications that require high-capacity and fast transfer rates in personal computer (PC) systems, and for consumer electronics and network attached storage (NAS) systems.
"The DiamondMax 80 drive is also seeing interest from traditional enterprise class storage customers due to the advantages of Maxtor's drive capacity and IDE's cost and simplicity," said Mike Cannon, president and CEO of Maxtor. "Maxtor has driven IDE drive capacity, in a 1-inch height, beyond 1.6-inch SCSI capacity for the first time."
