DIAMONDMAX VL 17 – INTRODUCTION

1 – 1

SECTION 1

Introduction

Maxtor Corporation

Maxtor Corporation has been providing high-quality computer storage products since 1982. Along the way,

we’ve seen many changes in data storage needs. Not long ago, only a handful of specific users needed more than

a couple hundred megabytes of storage. Today, downloading from the Internet and CD-ROMs, multimedia,

networking and advanced office applications are driving storage needs even higher. Even home PC applications

need capacities measured in gigabytes, not megabytes.

Products

Maxtor’s products meet those demanding storage capacity requirements with room to spare. They feature

proven compatibility and reliability. While DiamondMax™ VL 17 is the latest addition to our family of

high performance 5,400 RPM desktop hard drives, DiamondMax™ 36 series hard drives deliver industry-

leading capacity and performance for demanding desktop and workstation applications.

Support

No matter which capacity, all Maxtor hard drives are supported by our commitment to total customer

satisfaction and our No Quibble

Service guarantee. One call – or a visit to our home page on the Internet

(http://www.maxtor.com) – puts you in touch with either technical support or customer service. We’ll

provide you the information you need quickly, accurately and in the form you prefer – a fax, a downloaded

file or a conversation with a representative.

Frequently Asked Questions about Maxtor 90871U2 DiamondMax VL 17 Hard Disk Drive

Our support team searches for useful product information and answers to frequently asked questions. If you find an inaccuracy in our frequently asked questions, please let us know by using our contact form.

I am unable to copy large files to my hard disk drive, why is that? Verified

It's possible that the hard disk drive uses the FAT32 file system. This limits the size of files to around 4GB but can cause problems with files from 2GB and up. To be able to use larger files, the hard disk drive needs to be formatted to a different file system, for example NTFS. Caution! When formatting the hard disk drive, all files on that drive will be lost!

What is the difference between a hard disk drive and an SSD? Verified

A hard disk drive has multiple disks that move. It allows for large amounts of data to be stored, but uses a lot of power and is vulnerable. An SSD has no moving parts, but uses chips like a USB stick. It has the advantage of being fast and light, but allows for less data storage.
