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 IT managers with faster, more efficient alternatives to traditional backups, such as point-in-time copies, snapshot clones and remote replication. Businesses also have the option of maintaining more information on midline storage to supplement their online storage, offering them greater flexibility in managing their data. The third-generation MaXLine drives offer up to 300GB storage capacity designed for Mean Time To Failure (MTTF) of 1 million hours for low I/O duty cycle midline and nearline applications.
