From the manufacturer
MaXLine III drives provide large-capacity enterprise disk storage ideally suited for midline and nearline applications that require increased performance beyond traditional optical and tape solutions, as well as higher reliability than traditional desktop hard drives. MaXLine III drives provide IS managers with faster, more efficient alternatives to traditional backups, such as point-in-time copies, snapshot clones and remote replication.
These third-generation MaXLine drives offer up to 300GB storage capacity and are designed for mean time to failure (MTTF) of 1 million hours (based on a statistical sample) for low-I/O duty cycle and nearline applications.
Versions of this drive are available that conform with the requirements of the European Union Directive in Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS).
Best-fit enterprise applications include:
- Reference storage applications
- Email archives
- Data warehousing
- Point-in-time copy
- Snapshot clones
- Remote replication
- Disk-to-disk-to-tape
- Video security applications
- Entry-level RAID applications
- Entry-level NAS environments
- High-end workstations
