Seagate introduces new Maxtor desktop and notebook hard drives

Seagate Technology announced the availability of new Maxtor-branded desktop
and notebook PC hard drives to the worldwide distribution channel. Designed and
manufactured with Seagate's hallmark quality and reliability, the Maxtor
DiamondMax desktop and MobileMax notebook disc drives will enable system
builders to reach a wider range of customers.

With the launch, Seagate is refreshing Maxtor's popular line of DiamondMax
3.5-inch desktop hard drives and introducing the new MobileMax 2.5-inch line for
notebook PCs.

MobileMax drives will feature capacities up to 80GB and a 5400-RPM spin speed
to support mainstream laptop and white book applications. The new drives come
with a three-year warranty, while the Seagate-branded hard drives offered
through the channel, including Barracuda and Momentus drives, will continue to
carry an industry-leading five-year warranty.
