Maxtor's MaXLine Enterprise SATA Drives Compatible With 3Ware SATA
II RAID Controller MILPITAS, Calif., April 25
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Maxtor Corporation (NYSE:MXO) and Applied
Micro Circuits Corporation (AMCC) (NASDAQ:AMCC) today announced
they have joined forces to promote the use of Serial ATA (SATA)
storage in enterprise applications. The two companies have
collaborated on testing and product validation on the Maxtor(R)
MaXLine(R) enterprise SATA drive and AMCC's 3ware(R) 9550SX PCI-X
to SATA II RAID controller, thereby offering design simplicity and
ease of integration with these products. As more and more business
operations require data to be protected and stored longer for
compliance purposes, SATA solutions are growing in acceptance
because they offer high-capacity, cost-efficient storage. Maxtor
MaXLine SATA drives are designed specifically to serve the
capacity/price-sensitive portion of the enterprise market. These
drives deliver substantial value on a per gigabyte basis and offer
enterprise features, making the drives ideal for reference storage
and data protection enterprise applications. "Designed with
excellent reliability for the nearline market, Maxtor MaXLine
drives continue to be the brand of choice for reference storage and
data protection applications," said Brendan Collins, vice president
of enterprise products marketing at Maxtor Corporation. "System
designers pairing the AMCC 3ware controller with our MaXLine drives
can design systems that help meet the needs of this growing
market." The 3ware 9550SX PCI-X to Serial ATA II RAID controller
delivers over 800 MB/sec RAID 5 reads and exceeds 380 MB/sec RAID 5
writes, SATA II features including 3.0Gb/sec transfer speed and
native command queuing to drive this impressive performance.
Featuring up to 16-ports, the controller cards can support up to 16
MaXLine Pro 500 drives for a combined capacity of 8TB. "AMCC is
committed to combining the latest features and value for our
customers, expanding SATA RAID installations in new and emerging
applications," said Michael Joyce, senior director of storage
marketing at AMCC. "We're pleased to be working with Maxtor to
demonstrate this significant step in the evolution of enterprise
storage solutions." "MacroElite has a long history of using Maxtor
and 3ware solutions and has always been pleased with the value and
reliability that these products provide," said Lenny Leblanc,
