-- Consumer Electronics Show (CES) -- (Suite # N227-N228) -- Maxtor
Corporation (NYSE:MXO) announced today that its Maxtor Shared
Storage Plus network backup and media streaming solution has been
honored with a 2006 Innovations Award from PC World, one of the
most widely-read computer and business magazines for tech-savvy IT
managers with a total audience of over 5.2 million. Selected from
hundreds of products, this year's 25 award winners, revealed online
today at http://www.pcworld.com/, will be presented with trophies
on January 5, 2006 during the ShowStoppers Media Showcase reception
at the Wynn Hotel as part of the 2006 International Consumer
Electronics Show (CES). Continuing a legacy of award-winning
innovations, the Maxtor Shared Storage Plus network solution makes
it simpler than ever to simultaneously share, store, print and back
up digital photos, music, videos and any other computer files on
home or small office networks. Installation and setup is nearly
effortless. With the new storage solution's automatic network
configuration and quick-start software, users can swiftly add
hundreds of gigabytes of storage capacity in minutes. Maxtor's
intuitive and integrated backup software allows consumers to easily
back up their data from multiple PCs or Macs on the network. "These
are among the most inventive devices available, breaking the
boundaries of the computer and consumer electronics worlds while
pushing the limits of technology," stated Harry McCracken, vice
president and editor-in- chief of PC World. "These trend-setting
products help define industry standards and raise the bar for
creativity in the future. Congratulations to the Maxtor Shared
Storage Plus network solution!" The Maxtor Shared Storage Plus
solution is the company's first network storage and backup solution
to act as a digital entertainment center. One of the solution's new
software features allows users to stream and view media content on
many networked entertainment devices at once. For example, one
family member can listen to digital music via a networked sound
system in a one room, while a second watches movies on a networked
theatre system in the living room and a third views a slide show of
digital photos on a laptop in the kitchen. The solution is built on
industry standards that allow numerous consumer electronic devices
to seamlessly connect and communicate with one another. "The Maxtor
Shared Storage Plus solution is remarkable because it provides
automated network backup, innovative data protection features and
the ability to stream entertainment content in one simple network
solution," said Stacey Lund, vice president of marketing, Maxtor
Branded Products Group. "Winning this 2006 Innovations Award
affirms our continued leadership in delivering the best storage and
backup solutions for home and small business networks. Maxtor
continues to break new ground in consumer electronics convergence
with the cutting-edge features and eye-catching design that the
marketplace demands." For easy backup and data management, the
solution's SimpleView(TM) feature provides detailed backup and
storage status at a glance to all users on the network. In
addition, the exclusive user-friendly wizard interface easily
designates shared folders for full or limited access, sets backup
schedules and simplifies restoring files. Organizing digital files
is a breeze with Maxtor's exclusive Drag and Sort(TM) feature,
which automatically identifies and sorts more than 100 different
Windows file types and puts them in specific music, photo, movie,
Web, software or documents folders. Two built-in USB ports allow
users to plug in extra external drives or USB printers for sharing
on the network. Maxtor Shared Storage Plus network solutions are
