The S2 sets new standards for media computing by offering three hard drives as standard for a total of 400 GB of storage. These Maxtor hard disk drives deliver outstanding desktop performance and long term reliability.

• HD1: 80GB UltraATA-133 7200rpm [Operating System, Applications]
• HD2: 160GB SerialATA-150 7200rpm [Sound Libraries]
• HD3: 160GB SerialATA-150 7200rpm [Linear Audio Tracks

We have chosen Maxtor drive because of extensive testing for reliability and performance. Maxtor hard drives are an excellent choice for digital audio and video applications.

Ultra ATA interface and Serial ATA interface
Ultra ATA interface has data transfer rates up to 133 MB/sec and Serial ATA up to 150 MB/sec. With either Ultra ATA/133 or the increased speed and capabilities of Serial ATA/150, users will have a choice of the fastest data transfer rates and interface functionality available.

Fluid Dynamic Bearing (FDB) Motors
The S2’s hard drives are equipped with FDB motors. This technology allows the drive to operate with very low sound output for performance users who are concerned about excessive noise.

Delivering Reliability
The S2’s hard drives deliver high reliability and data integrity using the Maxtor’s Shock Protection System (SPS) and Data Protection System (DPS). SPS and DPS give the drive enhanced protection against operating and non-operating shock. When your application demands reliability, performance and capacity, Maxtor drives are the ideal choice.
