2.1 PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Maxtor’s Quickview 300 PATA hard disk drives are part of a family of
high performance, 1-inch-high hard disk drives manufactured to meet the
highest product quality standards.
These hard disk drives use nonremovable, 3 1/2-inch hard disks and
are available with the PATA interface.
The Quickview 300 80/100/120/160/200/250/300GB PATA hard disk

transparent to the user.

leading edge technologies such as Ultra ATA/133, Advanced Cache

drives.
